Kentucky Equine Drug Research Council (EDRC) voted 6-2 on Nov. 25 to advance to the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission (KHRC) a recommendation to partially phase out race-day Lasix usage. If the measure gets adopted by the KHRC at its Dec. 10 meeting, race-day Lasix administration will be barred in 2-year-olds beginning in 2020, and the use of the drug will be eliminated in stakes races for all ages starting in 2021. The EDRC serves as an advisory board to the KHRC. Last month the EDRC voted on the same measure, but the recommendation failed to advance by a 5-3 vote. The following EDRC members voted in favor of the Lasix phase-out Monday: Stuart Brown II, DVM, (chairman), Johnny Mac Smith, DVM (representing Thoroughbred breeders), James Morehead, DVM, (representing veterinarians), Damon Thayer (representing legislators), Mike Ziegler (representing licensed racing associations), and Art Zubrod (representing Standardbred breeders). The no votes came from Marcus Cheney, DVM, (representing Thoroughbred horsemen) and Andy Roberts, DVM, (representing Standardbred horsemen).

Smith explained to TDN why he changed his vote from no to yes from one meeting to the next. AThe proposal as it was given to us in the last meeting lacked a lot of detail, as in how are you going to enforce this [and] what are the regulatory aspects,@ Smith said. AThere was very little fleshing out. It was just presented as a removal of Lasix from 2-year-old races in 2020 and in stakes races in 2021.

AAn AIFM was approached by Phoenix, but is understood to have walked away from the role during the due diligence process, meaning the fund never started and never traded despite Phoenix acquiring more than 300 horses, including stallions and broodmares, since its inception,@ Racing Post wrote. The report also went on to quote Aa source with knowledge of the situation@ who said, AThis fund never got off the ground. It never did business and wasn=t approved for any assets.

Cupʼs Contenders in Market Order of Preference as of 2nd October 2014 Check out the 2016 Melbourne Cup Market Order of Preference with Unibet MY TOP 10 CONTENDERS Comments In BOLD THE OFFER Underwood Stakes run was pretty good. Very good Sydney Cup winner showed acceleration. All good wins have been on affected ground which is a bit of a query. Underwood Stakes run was on top of the ground and showed acceleration there. Winning chance. ADMIRE RAKTI Reasonable closing performance in the Japan Cup last year. Think the Handicapper has found him with 58kg. Brings good enough form, and accelerates quite ok, but Iʼm going to risk him at the weights in terms of Winning the Melbourne Cup. BANDE He is a leader and he sticks on well. Long time since weʼve seen a bold front runner lead all the way in the Melbourne Cup, Might and Power did it by an eyelash. Will be having the lead up run in the Caulfiled Cup which is a positive. A winning chance. LUCIA VALENTINA Best form on wet tracks. Iʼm going to risk her on reasonable ground in a race like the Melbourne Cup. SILENT ACHIEVER Has found something with blinkers this horse, Underwood Stakes run this time in was ok. Tranier not thrilled by a mare carrying 56.5kg in the Cup this year, so might be aimed at the Cox Plate then, but wouldnʼt surprise to see her run in the Melbourne Cup. I could go around it in the Melbourne Cup.
