How could this possibly happen!!!!!

Horses only lose without lasix in Dubai ;p

Mistakes shouldn't happen, of course. The error rate has to be zero.

The question is: do you want a state vet giving the lasix, or do you want to go back to a private vet giving a shot before a race?

Once the state vet has been in the stall after the morning pre-race exam of each horse, then later the lasix shot, there is zero reason for any vet to be anywhere near the horse.

Remember what this is intended to do regarding the integrity of horse racing for the public, and for the well-being and safety of the horse.

It's a brand new program that just began with the Keeneland meet October 5th.

All lasix shots (100-110 horses a day) have to be given to the horses in each race within a time window precisely 4 to 4 1/2 hours prior to the published post time (or the horse is scratched). Horses are spread over 35+ barns including ship-in's in separate barns, and the two Keeneland and Keeneland Training Center barn areas.

Two mistakes in over 1000 horses in a brand new program, 2 weeks old, seems like something readily resolvable.
