New Rule 15.02.2
Rule for administration of permissible bleeder medications:
(Aminocaproic Acid) Amicar.
Nothing may be administered to a horse within (1) one hour of the
scheduled post time of the horses’ race.
If a horse is to receive one or more bleeding medications, Amicar and
or Salix the trainer shall declare said use at the time of entry.
A veterinarian administering bleeding medications shall report the
administration of such medication(s), on the same type of form used to
report the administration of Salix.
The program shall denote what medication(s) have been administered
to a horse in this race and the past performance lines, in the program,
if any shall denote what medications where administered to said horse
in those races.
All horses running on permissible bleeder medications shall remain on
the medication for a period of not less than sixty days, before being
able to run without the permissible medication.
The presence of medications Amicar-Salix in a horse following the running
of the race which was not declared or reported, may result in the
disqualification of the horse and other sanctions being imposed upon
the trainer and admininistering veterinarian.
Conversely, the absence of a bleeder medication following the running
of a race, which was declared and reported may result in the disqualfication
of the horse and other sanctions being imposed upon the trainer
and practicing veterinarian.
