http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-raci...apy-for-horses
What I want to know is how they can regulate this? |

Because they have the right to regulate anything racehorses get prior to entry in a race in their jurisdiction, if they desire, including electromagnetic therapy, magic LED red lights in expensive blankets, acupuncture, herbs, extracorporeal shockwave therapies, etc. BTW, the Veterinary Hyperbaric Medicine Society (http://www.vet.utk.edu/vhms/review.html has a good summary of hyperbaric medicine in the equine) encourages stronger regulation of veterinary hyperbaric medicine, just as the human side has regulated dive medicine and medical hyperbaric chamber use over the years. Right now veterinary hyperbaric medicine in the hands of lay people, for the most part.

If it gets enforced - will it make any impact on Mike Maker?

I think there are quite a few chambers in use in California.

I think his question was more HOW are they going to enforce not why they would. |

From the article
"Sabini said the directive was crafted after an operator of a hyperbaric therapy chamber sought approval from NYRA to set up the equipment at Saratoga track. NYRA refused the request, and the operator located the equipment off track grounds in the city of Saratoga Springs. " yeah these regulators are right on top of things.... |

I have to know how oxygen is a drug??
But yeah, unless this board plans on putting someone onsite at this place, this is all pr, and there is probably somewhere within 75 miles that has a chamber on a farm as it is.... |

And being that they just discovered this "new" therapy I'm sure they will all over this place. |

100% oxygen (not room air, which is 21% oxygen) is a drug just like propofol or codeine or an antibiotic. I can easily kill you with 100% oxygen You are supposed to have a medical license to be able to purchase it and dispense it. Which isn't always true, indeed.
I thought they were going to have a hyperbaric chamber at the Ruffian hospital outside Belmont (something I would think is a good thing) Unlike NYRA, I'd be more worried about someone blowing out a bleb in a bleeder's lungs, or causing severe pain in an undiagnosed tooth abcess, or hurting a horse with an impacted gutteral pouch or a sinus infection, rather than if a horse had a hyperbaric treatment on race day. Apparently nobody has shown the NYRA an oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve, regarding the duration of effect of increased plasma oxygenation?

The operator might have a fallback if NYRA allows stuff like privately operated underwater treadmills on track grounds. Do they allow anything?
