This drug has been discussed in past threads. It is an injectable pain killer...similar to Xylocaine which your dentist gives you before dental procedures.
Don't rush to judgement...our equine racers also get excellent dental work in the barns and it's used there also. Just as the effects (amount of pain relief per shot) and time it lasts differs in equine and humans.
That's IF it was used for dental reasons...I sure wish I knew when horses had dental extractions before they race...I know how shitty I and my athletes feel after dental work and the shot wears off!
