    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["We already know what the reforms must be. American racing must join the rest of the world and eliminate race-day medications. The template provided at Santa Anita by The Stronach Group, which implemented vigorous pre-race and pre-workout examinations by a team of veterinarians as part of a meaningful effort to reduce injuries, must be standard operating procedure at every racetrack in North America. Because the general public does not accept the whipping of race horses, whipping must be abolished. Synthetic racetracks are safer than dirt tracks, so they must replace dirt surfaces and become the norm instead of the exception. Trainers must be scrutinized and those who still want to push the envelope must be rooted out of the sport."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["If Churchill Downs and Keeneland and the New York Racing Association are contemplating a joint effort to phase out the controversial diuretic, that discussion did not spill over into Tuesday’s meeting of the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission, or KHRC. I'm not trying to be coy,' said Marc Guilfoil, the KHRC’s executive director. 'There's something out there. I've had two or three voicemails. But I haven't seen it.' 'I've heard rumblings,' said Dr. Mary Scollay, the commission's equine medical director, 'but until we hear more than rumblings, I've got other stuff on my plate. If they come out with something, we'll sit down and talk about it.' One of the enduring ironies about the sport of kings is that there is no king; no central authority setting policy and streamlining procedures. If Kentucky's two biggest tracks are engaged in discussions that could lead them to eliminate Lasix for 2-year-olds as early as next year and for stakes races beginning in 2021, as the Daily Racing Form reported Tuesday, those discussions are apparently proceeding without input from state regulators."]]></description>

As a result, if the plan goes through, the Triple Crown races held at Churchill Downs and Belmont, owned by NYRA, would not be Lasix-free until 2021. The plan has been hashed out among the tracks over the last few weeks in the wake of intense scrutiny of the racing industry brought about by a spate of fatalities this winter at Santa Anita Park in Southern California."]]></description>

While not mentioned by name, it's likely that members of the organization People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals are the 'specific sectors' that the NAARV was referring to."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Press release: "The response to the events at Santa Anita Racetrack has established an unfortunate precedent for the regulation of horseracing. The ability of powerful individuals or organizations to arbitrarily dictate policy is a threat to the wellbeing of horses and horseracing. Over the years a regulatory framework has developed which insures that policy decisions are based on scientific, rational arguments and public discourse. It has served the industry well and protected and promoted the wellbeing of our equine athletes. NAARV supports the dependence on publicly mandated regulatory bodies for the regulation of horseracing. Arbitrary and dictatorial decision making should have no place in the regulation of our sport."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[The announcement was met with approval from IFHA chairman Louis Romanet, who said in a statement: "I am in complete support of the actions and decisions made by The Stronach Group to bring medication policies in line with international standards, notably those outlined in article six of the IFHA's International Agreement on Breeding, Racing and Wagering. Article six ... has served as the basis for medication regulation, enforcement and testing for racing authorities such as the British Racing Authority, France Galop, the Hong Kong Jockey Club, the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board, the Japan Racing Association and Racing Australia among others. I am calling on other jurisdictions and race organisers in the United States to adopt stringent medication principals in accord with Article Six."]]></description>

Belinda has the power as an operator of many prime American racetracks to make this happen. For this initiative to succeed, Ms. Stronach must stick to her guns and initiate these reforms at all Stronach racetracks with common sense guidance. This will be the telling test for the end of the Lasix era in race day medication."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["The Stronach Group and Stronach Stable Inc. fall under the same umbrella, and the Stronach racing division continues to use Lasix with the majority of its horses. Example: Saturday at Laurel, the Stronachs ran two horses, Lion Lord (Bernardini) and Unbridled Juan (Unbridled's Song). Both ran on Lasix. And even better example came in the GI Pegasus World Cup Turf. The Stronachs ran Delta Prince (Street Cry {Ire}) on Lasix even though there was a condition in the race whereby a horse got a seven-pound break in the weights if running without the drug. You want Lasix out of the sport? Lead by example. All Stronach horses should stop racing on Lasix immediately."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Four races on the nine-race card were won by horses who ran without furosemide, the legal diuretic commonly known as Lasix. Only nine horses of the 73 horses on the card did not receive the drug, and four of them competed in the same 2-year-old maiden race. In statistical terms, horses who weren’t administered furosemide represented 12.3 percent of the horses on the card, yet the non-furosemide horses won 45 percent of the races. Those are outsized results by many measures, especially when considering that none of the non-Lasix winners was favored and that only 5 percent of horses nationally in 2013 ran without the drug."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["What has largely defined this long-standing tug-of-war is the belief by most on either side of the table that theirs’ is the stance more aligned with horse welfare – that to ban a drug that has been proven to be effective in treating bleeders is as cruel and dangerous to racehorses as it is to administer it. But after years of intractability the latest proposal, with its ringing endorsement from so many figures in the racing war cabinet, appears to be one of the most significant pushes yet for Lasix reform."]]></description>

And these gamblers know and respect it. That is why they bet on racing, because sport trumps all. To taint this glorious contest by artificially impacting the outcome is, in a word, unconscionable.

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["So here's a rational, pragmatic proposal to deal with Lasix. Not as a sports issue, but as a business issue -- because this is a business first, and a sport second. If you don't think so, try it without bettors. First of all, starting with next year's 2yo crop, we go back to the way it used to be -- to get on Lasix a horse has to be certified as a bleeder by a state vet, not your own vet, following a race or work. Second, any horse who goes on Lasix has to carry a five-pound penalty. From what work I've been able to do on this with very little data that looks about right, but after a year there will be lots of data, and the penalty can be tinkered with. Third, older horses currently on Lasix have the option of staying on it -- and accepting the five-pound penalty. The idea is to allow the horses that really need medicine to get it, and to remove the incentive for others to use it."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["I believe furosemide is valuable to the horse when racing, but there are too many reasons we can't keep it," said the renowned orthopedic surgeon. "The general public can't understand it and the continual drumbeat of journalists, most of whom truly have no idea of what they are talking about, will become a death knell if we don't stop it." Bramlage said the public isn't knowledgeable enough to distinguish between furosemide or cocaine, so when they see headlines about racing and medication they automatically believe the sport is "unsavory" and "dishonest."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[“... Lasix is the only scientifically proven, truly effective treatment we have to protect them. A Lasix ban does not benefit the horse, the owner or the horseplayer. Forcing trainers to return to using archaic methods to treat bleeders, whether it is the barbaric practice of taking away water for 24 to 48 hours or trying homeopathic remedies with questionable results, is not progress. Absent a researched and reasoned alternative to protect horses from EIPH, NYTHA is vehemently against any ban on Lasix.”]]></description>

It's a performance-enhancing drug and if our opposition is going to have their performance enhanced and we're not, then I'm pretty silly. It doesn't necessarily mean I agree with it, I'm just trying to win this race."]]></description>

From 1995, when New York approved Lasix and the drug was then legal everywhere, to 2013 the average number of starts per horse in a year has fallen 18.2 percent. In other countries horses may not make as many total starts per year as U.S. horses for a number of reasons, including a lack of year-round racing opportunities in Europe, but they are racing as much, if not more often, than ever. The TDN surveyed three prominent drug-free racing countries from which statistics from 1995 to 2012 were available through the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities. During that time period, the average number of starts per horse (for flat races only) has increased by 17.6 percent in Great Britain, by 10.9 percent in France and by 12.6 percent in Hong Kong."]]></description>

Well, the ones aren’t insignificant. The ones become twos, and the twos become threes. There’s a group in racing that wants us to turn a blind eye to that, who say that the one-out-of-four doesn’t affect performance. Well, I think that position is pretty reprehensible. We’re not supposed to wait until it affects performance. We’re supposed to be better than that and address issues before they affect performance. Performance shouldn’t be part of the equation.

Gary Lavin, a veterinarian on the EDRC, answered the suggestion that the study is a back-door effort for a ban by saying that -- rather than pursuing a ban -- the idea would be dropped if the study finds that 12 hours isn't as effective as four hours before a race. But he also repeated the concern of American Lasix opponents that there's a danger that overseas owners won't come to the United States to buy horses because of the drug's use here. Veterinarian and EDRC member Dr. Andy Roberts cast the other vote against the study with Hiles, saying he didn't think state money should be used to help pay for such a study. Roberts said furosemide is fast acting and studying the optimal time might better look at an administration closer to the race -- like two hours -- rather than farther ahead."]]></description>

While the proposal is still in its formative stages, Iuliano asked the council whether or not it would support a further exploration of the study for the purposes of a more formal consideration down the road, including devoting council funds to the study. The council, which receives its funding from parimutuel receipts and has funded studies in the past to determine withdrawal times for drugs that have benefited the entire racing industry, eventually conducted a vote on whether the Jockey Club should return to the council with a more detailed proposal. The motion passed by a voice vote of 7-2, with Roberts and Rick Hiles, the longtime president of the KHBPA, voting no."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[While I have no interest in dignifying the unsophisticated name calling that constituted much of Barry Irwin's Op-Ed in the TDN of Apr. 20, I would like to correct one misrepresentation of the facts, regarding New York's Racing and Wagering Board's decision to allow Lasix in 1995.

At that time, I was a senior advisor to Governor George Pataki on racing matters, and I vividly recall the surrounding circumstances of the Racing and Wagering Board's decision to permit the administration of furosemide on race days.

New York State was the only racing jurisdiction that did not allow the administration of furosemide on race day. The country was in a recession and the racing industry in New York state was disproportionally suffering: farms were closing, the number of foals and mares bred and produced in the state were in sharp decline, as were the field sizes in overnight and stake races, causing great discontent and complaints about a level playing field.

This had resulted in declines of the New York state racing and breeding industry on all levels, not to mention the loss of many jobs in the state's racing and breeding Industry.

Richard Corbisiero, then Chairman of the New York State Racing and Wagering Board, and Dinny Phipps stood firm against the State's position to legalize furosemide on race day. But to no avail. The decision to allow Lasix to be implemented was made at the state level, after Corbisiero's resignation on ideological grounds.

I have known Dinny Phipps for over 50 years and his personal and professional perspective has not changed one iota when it comes to Lasix. He believed then, as he believes now, that horses should compete only when they are free from the influence of medication, including Lasix. He has stated so many times, which records clearly indicate.

To suggest anything about him or his actions letting our sport down or letting our industry down, then or at any time before or since then, is preposterous, absurd and "misinformed."

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["When your prime argument boils down to the seemingly rampant drugging of racehorses being OK because the drugs are legal therapeutic medications -- without addressing whether a particular horse needs the medication -- you are missing the essential point of the case made by those opposing the racing industry’s use of drugs. I doubt there is a sensible person who would oppose medications for an animal who needs it. But when the nation’s two leading trainers are administering drugs -- albeit legal ones -- without regard for the medical needs of a particular horse, we are no longer talking about therapeutic drugs, but rather drugs they hope will be performance enhancing."]]></description>

Starting with next year’s event, the policy will no longer be enforced, and it’s unlikely that any piecemeal bans like the one enacted by the Breeders’ Cup will find firm footing in years to come."]]></description>

The big stallion farms pay the high rent and have the majority of power to direct the organization. Those farms also have a massive financial commitment to the future of racing and to its success and integrity. They also have the most to lose as owners and sales buyers, principally from Europe, look elsewhere for yearlings to stock their racing programs. And the European trainers and buyers unequivocally state that they do not want to buy yearlings from stock that has raced on Lasix for two or sometimes three generations. To prove it, they have focused their buying on the sales in France, Ireland, and England."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["They do not call it dope, of course. Lasix ... is described as an anti-bleeding 'medication' but any European trainers administering it to one of their horses on a race day in this country would expect to sacrifice their licence, and career, if caught. Nor is there any real doubt that the effects of Lasix are performance-enhancing as well as palliative. The shrewdest American punters are always on the lookout for European horses whose finishing effort appears to need a little lift. The abrupt improvement of Sir Michael Stoute's Dank to win the Beverley D Stakes at Arlington on first-time Lasix earlier this month was just the latest example of significant improvement that must, at least in part, be drug-related."]]></description>

A motion was made to inform the Breeders’ Cup that "California is not interested in hosting the 2014 Breeders’ Cup if Lasix is not allowed for all races.' The motion passed unanimously. In holding a hard line on Lasix and saying 'no' to the Breeders’ Cup for 2014 -- even if it’s the continuation of a race-day ban for 2-year-olds -- the TOC is effectively saying no to local businesses who benefit from the $60 million or more in economic activity to the Southern California region. That’s how important Lasix is to them."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["I'm totally disgusted [by the Breeders' Cup decision]," Irwin said this week. "We're out there alone, our people don't understand what's out here in the rest of the world and frankly they don't give a shit. Most Americans have that sort of John Wayne mentality, we own the world and run the world and you guys just live in the world. It's about insecurity. Most trainers, like most actors and writers, they live in the fear that they're going to be found out one day as frauds. That's their problem, they don't want their insurance taken away from them."]]></description>

"There’s a lot of working going on behind the scenes. I think they’re going to find it’s a very unpopular decision, and frankly, they’ll have a tough time filling some of their races."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["The Breeders’ Cup ban on Lasix was hardly a 'working test lab.' To purport that the small Breeders’ Cup sample, with no controls, has any real or scientific value at all is ludicrous. You can’t seriously point to the fact that we didn’t see blood gushing from a horse’s nostrils as indication that it didn’t bleed − that would be tantamount to saying fractures only exist if the bone pierces the skin."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["While it was a small sample, results suggested that when horses are asked to race sans Salix, the sky would not fall, babies would not be snatched from the arms of their mothers, the world would not spin off its axis – and the homestretch would not be filled with distressed horses pulling up, unable to finish their race, bleeding in front of distressed fans. Simply put, the absence of race-day medication appeared to have little effect on anything and, more important, may have actually demonstrated that far fewer horses 'require' race-day medication than we presently see."]]></description>
