Experts are concerned about a drug treatment for which there are no rules, one used on some horses before they start racing, that might lead to more breakdowns and serious injuries.
Santa Anita had a sixth horse fatality at the track since Sept. 18 when Bye Bye Beautiful, a 2-year-old filly, broke down Sunday and was euthanized.
The drugs were approved for use in horses in 2014, but only for those 4 and older. They are used to treat navicular syndrome, an inflammation or degradation of the navicular bone in the front feet that can cause a horse to go lame.It’s the drug’s off-label use on young horses that has the equine medical community very concerned.
Experts say a common misconception is that horses are being brought to the track too early and that they shouldn’t be raceduntil they are older. Science paints a different picture.
