According to the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission’s April 2020 drug withdrawal time guidelines, betamethasone may be administered intra-articularly up to 14 days prior to a race. The acceptable threshold level was reduced from 10 picograms per milliliter (mL) in serum or plasma to zero in August 2020, hence some of the confusion over the incorrect 10 picogram level. So no, you cannot administer it three days out.
