Washington Administrative Code › Title 260 - Horse Racing Commission › Chapter 260-70 - Equine medication program › Section 260-70-635 - Environmental substances

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
Certain substances can be considered "environmental" in that
				they are endogenous to the horse or that they can arise from plants
				traditionally grazed or harvested as equine feed or are present in equine feed
				because of contamination or exposure during the cultivation, processing,
				treatment, storage, or transportation phases. Certain drugs are recognized as
				substances of human use and could therefore be found in a horse.

			 in test samples up to the stated concentrations:
Arsenic - 0.3 mcg/ml urine
Caffeine - 100 ng/ml serum or plasma
Cobalt - 50 ppb serum or plasma*
* A level of 25 ppb in serum or plasma will result in the horse
				being placed on the official veterinarians list until such time as the level
				drops below the 25 ppb.
Benzoylecgonine - 50 ng/ml urine
Estranediol - 0.045 mcg/ml free + conjugated
				(5a-estrane-3[BETA],17a-diol), in the urine of male horses, other than

Washington Administrative Code › Title 260 - Horse Racing Commission › Chapter 260-70 - Equine medication program › Section 260-70-660 - Furosemide and bleeder lists

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
The official veterinarians will maintain a furosemide list and
				a bleeder list of all horses eligible to race with furosemide. The list is a
				statewide list that applies to all licensed associations.
(1) Furosemide list.
(a) A horse is eligible to race with
			 furosemide if the licensed trainer and/or veterinarian determine that it would
			 be in the horse's best interests to race with furosemide. Notification using
			 prescribed commission forms must be given to an official veterinarian prior to
			 the close of entries to ensure public notification.
(b) If an official veterinarian so orders, a
			 horse placed on the furosemide list will be placed in detention in its
			 regularly assigned stall, no later than four hours prior to the scheduled post
			 time for any race in which it is entered to start, and with oral or written
			 notification to the trainer may be watched by commission staff. Once placed in
			 detention, a horse must remain in its barn or on its assigned hotwalker until
			 it is taken to the receiving barn or to the paddock to be saddled for the race,
			 except that the stewards may permit a horse to leave detention to engage in
			 exercise blowouts or warm-up heats.
(c) The confirmation of a horse eligible to
			 race with furosemide must be certified in writing by an official veterinarian
			 and entered on the furosemide list. Copies of the certification will be issued
			 to the owner of the horse or the owner's designee upon request.
(d) Every horse eligible to race with
			 furosemide, regardless of age, will be placed on the furosemide list.
(e) A horse placed on the official furosemide
			 list must remain on that list unless the licensed trainer and/or veterinarian
			 submit(s) a written request to remove the horse from the list. The request must
			 be on commissioned-approved forms and must be submitted to an official
			 veterinarian no later than time of entry. After a horse has been removed from
			 the furosemide list, the horse may not be placed back on the list for a period
			 of sixty calendar days unless determined to be detrimental to the welfare of
			 the horse, in consultation with an official veterinarian. If a horse is removed
			 from the official furosemide list a second time in a three hundred sixty-five
			 day period, the horse may not be placed back on the list for a period of ninety
			 calendar days.

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) The
			 commission is authorized to collect and submit hair samples for testing in
			 quarter horses and mixed breed races. For horses which have been entered to
			 race, the hair sample may be collected at any time prior to post time, or a
			 sample may be collected in the test barn following the race. If a sample is
			 collected after a horse is entered into, but prior to competing in a race, a
			 positive report received based on the sample collected will be considered a
			 post race violation. Hair samples may also be collected for out of competition
			 testing.
(2) The commission or its
			 designee will comply with the official testing laboratories guidelines for hair
			 sample collection and storage.
(3)
			 The presence of any prohibited substances that appears in a pre- or post-race
			 sample including, but not limited to, clenbuterol, zilpaterol, and ractopamine
			 in QH and mixed breed races, will constitute a violation.
The presence of a therapeutic medication with an established
				threshold level for that breed which appears in a hair sample will not be
				considered a violation.
(4)
			 Samples collected for out of competition testing in quarter horses that result
			 in a positive finding for a prohibited substance as listed in WAC
			 260-70-545
			 will be reported to the board of stewards and considered a violation.
The presence of clenbuterol in an out of competition test in a
				quarter horse will result in the horse being placed on the official
				veterinarians list for a minimum of thirty days or until a sample is submitted
				and is reported as negative for the presence of clenbuterol. If, at the owners
				request a sample is submitted for screening for removal from the official
				veterinarians list, the owner(s) are responsible for the cost of the
				testing.
(5) If a horse is
			 selected for hair testing and the mane is less than four and one-half inches in
			 length, the commission may elect to collect a hair sample using the
			 tail.

No bicarbonate-containing substance or alkalizing substance
				that effectively alters the serum or plasma pH or concentration of bicarbonates
				or total carbon dioxide in a horse may be administered to a horse within
				twenty-four hours of post time of the race in which the horse is
				entered.
An official veterinarian, the board of stewards or the
				executive secretary acting on behalf of the commission may at their discretion
				and at any time order the collection of test samples from any horses either in
				the horse's stall or within the receiving or test barn to determine the serum
				or plasma pH or concentration of bicarbonate, total carbon dioxide, or
				electrolytes.
Test samples must not exceed 37.0 millimoles of total carbon
				dioxide concentration per liter of serum or plasma plus the measurement of
				uncertainty of the laboratory analyzing the sample. A serum or plasma total
				carbon dioxide level exceeding this value is a violation of this rule.
				Penalties will be assessed as a category B violation as provided in WAC
				260-84-110.
Split samples will be taken from all horses entered to run in a
				race when bicarbonate testing is to be done. When split samples are taken, they
				will be shipped as soon as practical to the commission-approved laboratories
				for total carbon dioxide split sample testing. The commission is responsible
				for the cost of shipping and testing of split samples taken under this
				section.
