AIt was not a surprise Santa Anita. Upgrades to San Luis Rey are set to begin to me, because we had been hearing over the past few June 2. Along with the refurbishment of the main track, months that it was very serious,@ said Ellis. AThe nice plans call for the addition of a seven-furlong turf course thing about stabling at Hollywood was that I could keep and a turf gallop outside the one-mile main track.

I thought it was just a to be decided whether those horses will go to Fairplex better track to train on.@ Ellis, who lives only moments or Los Alamitos.@ Asked how the closure of the storied from Santa Anita, has trained his entire stable at track might affect the bigger picture in Southern Hollywood for over 10 years. AIt will certainly be easier California, Ellis opined, AI don=t think this will hurt racing for me to get to work, and I=ll just have to put in for as in Southern California at all. What will happen is that many stalls as I can get. The biggest inconvenience to Santa Anita and Del Mar will absorb the dates, but trainers that I can see will be that trainers will have to what it will hurt will be the convenience of being able fight for stalls at Santa Anita and then having to decide to train where you want and keeping the horses where they will have to go if they can=t get stalls.@ together because everyone is going to want to be at Currently, Santa Anita can accommodate between Santa Anita.@ Also commenting on the closure, Hall of 1800-1900, while the overall Southern California circuit Fame jockey Gary Stevens added, AWe knew it was generally consists of anywhere between 2800-3000 coming.

AI arrived at this decision after considerable lack of transparency, personal agendas, meetings before meetings, continued control by power brokers and personal attacks by some of the board meetings in the last meeting,@ Sanan continued. AI love Breeders= Cup. I love the industry. I put in a lot of my own personal resources and time and energy and, yes, I am outspoken and controversial, but I always tried to bring positive change.@ Sanan said he was criticized for giving details of a Breeders= Cup meeting earlier this year at which the organization=s Lasix policy was discussed. He responded, AIn my view, people should know what is going on.@ Asked what recommendations he would make to the Breeders= Cup and the industry as a whole, Sanan said, AI would strongly recommend, not just going through the motions, but to honestly look at where our industry is going, look at the strategic plan, define what is needed and then put a plan in place. But plans are only plans if you don=t have the management that can execute. Look at the strategic plan, make sure you have the right management and the infastructure and resources and then you just have to execute, execute, execute.@

tables migrating from New York Sto Florida in the late fall and returning in the spring is as familiar as the birds which tail them. But besides the weather, the horses in those stables, on arrival and then departure, must get accustomed to changes in their drug routine, as important as any decision a trainer will make nowadays. This is what the stables had grown used to in the Sunshine State. Corticosteroids, such as betamethasone (Celestone) and triamcinolone acetonide (Vetalog), can be administered 24 hours before a race, with the unique exception of prednisolone sodium succinate, which is allowed, like furosemide (Lasix), four hours before post. The 24-hour threshold also goes for a host of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) – flunixin, ketoprofen, phenylbutazone. Clenbuterol, the popular bronchodilator beloved for its anabolic effects, reportedly has a five- day withdrawal time. The analgesic butorphanol is also reportedly permitted until three days before a race, the sedative acepromazine at four days, the pain-killer lidocaine at seven. The state doesn’t regulate total carbon dioxide (TCO2), the byproduct of milkshaking (a solution of sodium bicarbonate administered 'U0DU\6FROOD\HQJLQHHUHGUDFLQJVXUIDFHVFRP to racehorses by stomach tube 4 to allowed until 24 hours before a race, of NSAIDs – all Class 4 and 5 6 hours before racing to counteract ketoprofen and phenylbutazone until substances – Florida employs thin- the accumulation of lactic acid in the 48 hours.

Their relief is often temporary, however, and when used close to exercise can prove deleterious. You can only “tap” a horse so many times, too, before finding diminishing returns. And not all corticosteroids are created equal, claims Dr. Wayne McIlwraith, Director of the Orthopaedic Research Center at Colorado State University, who has studied them intensely. “DepoMedrol is bad; the others are good. That’s the bottom line,” McIlwraith said at the Welfare and Safety of the Racehorse Summit IV held last October at Keeneland. Because the drugs are long-acting and, depending on their administration, may stay in the bloodstream for several weeks or more, regulation is challenging. Blood tests cannot indicate how or when they were administered, says Texas’s Quirk. Until recently, states .LUN=LDGLHZLWK*,ZLQQHU7UXVW1/XFN+RUVHSKRWRV rarely tested for it; through the ‘60s and ‘70s, they

Short-acting, it supposedly treats animals on the verge of shock. “As an effort to stave off heat prostration I think it is a real stretch,” says Quirk, himself familiar with sweltering Texas days. Several Northeast trainers who race in Florida during the winter have confided that they believe this practice crazy. As powerful as they are, McIlwraith said that corticosteroids can easily be pushed out to 14 days – a great distance from the common 48-hour rule. “There needs to be a point where therapy ends and competition begins,” he said pointedly. “That is part of the dilemma we have.” Repetitive use, McIlwraith found, particularly of DepoMedrol, can cause significant damage to the cartilage in the joint.
