Racetrack Corruption/Horse Drugging (CASE STUDY-20-International/Cultural)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ARTICLES Includes organization horse welfare or private grassroots websites The Atlantic 2014/03/24 by Mark Cohen The Ugly Truth about Horse Racing https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2014/03/the-ugly-truth-about-horse-racing/284594/ Excerpt: There are essentially three types of people in horse racing. There are the crooks who dangerously drug or otherwise abuse their horses, or who countenance such conduct from their agents, and who then dare the industry to come catch them. Then there are the dupes who labor under the fantasy that the sport is broadly fair and honest. And there are those masses in the middle—neither naive nor cheaters but rather honorable souls—who know the industry is more crooked than it ought to be but who still don't do all they can to fix the problem. https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2014/03/the-ugly-truth-about-horse-racing/284594/ Bloodhorse dot com (see new Mexico below) Courier Journal 2020/03/11 An inside job helped lead the FBI to indictments in the horse racing drug scandal. Tim Sullivan https://www.courier-journal.com/story/sports/horses/horse-racing/2020/03/11/horse-racing-scandal-jockey-club- helped -investigators-scandal/5016435002/ Horse Fund dot org The Chemical Horse Part 7 https://horsefund.org/the-chemical-horse-part-7.php Excerpt: AS MUCH as many drugs can and are used to heighten performance, by far the most controversial in the horse racing industry today are the Class 4 NSAID's (Non-Steroidal Anti- Inflammatory Drugs) corticosteroids and the much criticized "Lasix" (also known as Salix) — an unclassified permitted race day medication in North America. It was in the 1970’s when North America adopted the policy of "permissive medications" that the administration of Lasix and painkiller Butazolidine — the brand name of Phenylbutazone (commonly referred to as "Bute") — became standard at the track. Hence there is a long history of drug abuse when it comes to these types of medications. Many in the industry believe that Salix is beneficial to the horse because it prevents the common problem of bleeding in the lungs or EIPH (exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage). The majority of the racing jurisdictions in North America also permit the administration of one of the NSAID's over a prescribed period of time (no earlier than 24 hours before race time). These are typically either phenylbutazone ("bute"), flunixin or ketoprofen. Others include steroidal (catabolic) anti- inflammatory drugs or corticosteroids used to decrease inflammation in joints. There is much concern that the presence of these drugs interfere with the ability of the tending veterinarian to properly evaluate the horses on race day as they have the tendency to mask lameness and respiratory problems. In fact, over medicating with legal drugs together with lax oversight to their use has led to a consensus among equine researchers and surgeons that legal medications such as Salix and Bute as well as cortisone shots, over time, leave a horse vulnerable to a catastrophic breakdown.

Patrick Battuello, Founder, President, Director (patrick@horseracingwrongs.com) Excerpt: Through a FOIA request to the New Mexico Racing Commission, I have confirmed the following kills on that state’s tracks in 2018. Please note, however, that this report is a work in progress: New Mexico’s records are a mess. Included in my simple request for dead/euthanized racehorses were medication notifications, horses who died in 2017 (even one from 2016), many duplicates, and those noted as injured and/or “vanned off” but with no clear indication of death. It’s in this last grouping that more research is needed on my part. For now, I give you what I have so far.
