R.E. Lee, a trainer who is president of the Horseman's Benevolent and Protective Association, said the stewards have the option of either following the penalty guidelines adopted by the Association of Racing Commissioners International or coming up with their own penalty. If the stewards propose a lesser penalty, it must by approved by the Nebraska State Racing Commission. I'll make my judgment later, I guess. Oelschlager said trainers who tell the stewards that they were simply following their veterinarians' recommendations may not escape being penalized. It's called the trainer is responsible for the condition of the horse.
Horses bleed when small capillaries that surround the lungs' air sacks rupture.
When that happens, blood may be seen coming out of the horse's nostrils. That was the only reason for my even using the stuff. Oelschlager said backsiders who want to try a new type of medication may want to check with the racing commission first. We would do anything we could to help them get information about a drug.
