Let's see if I have it now. "Performance-enhancers" for horses are things given to them the day of the race or in the days leading up to the race that mask pain or in the case of a milkshake, aid stamina. Whereas steriods are a mantenance drug that are not necessarily "performance-enhancing", but do aid in their developemnt and recovery. Correct?

I guess it is semantics.
Yes.. (Or at least it's the way I look at it w/o the semantics.)

I can so no reason to spend the money if they have no effect on performance. If they effect performance, for the better they are by definition "performance enhancing."
