810 KAR 1:110
Pursuant to 810 KAR 1:110, the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission (the "KHRC") is authorized to conduct "out of competition" testing on any horse that is eligible, or that may become eligible, to race in Kentucky. A horse is eligible to race in Kentucky if it is under the care, custody or control of a trainer licensed by the KHRC; or is owned by an owner licensed by the KHRC; or is nominated to a race at an association licensed by the KHRC; or has raced at an association licensed by the KHRC within the previous twelve calendar months; or is stabled on the grounds of an association or training center subject to the jurisdiction of the KHRC; or is nominated to participate in the Kentucky Thoroughbred Development Fund. The KHRC is authorized to test for blood doping agents, venoms and their derivatives, and growth hormones. The regulation also prohibits possession of the foregoing substances, as well as whole blood or packed red blood cells, on the grounds of an association or training facility subject to jurisdiction of the KHRC. A horse designated for testing must be made available for sampling at a mutually agreed-upon location within six hours of notification that it has been designated for testing. If a horse is not made available for testing, or if there is any other failure to cooperate with the KHRC, the individual(s) responsible will be penalized to the full extent allowed by the regulation. If a horse tests positive for a prohibited substance, the owner and trainer are notified of the test results, and the horse is placed on the Veterinarian's List pending a steward's hearing. The owner and/or trainer have the right to split sample analysis, as set forth in 810 KAR 1:018/811 KAR 1:090. If the positive finding is confirmed, serious penalties shall be imposed, including but not limited to, the revocation of the violator's license for a period of five to ten years. The regulation can be found in its entirety at the KHRC website.
