"The American Graded Stakes Committee hoped to take a leadership role on race-day medication when it announced last year that it would not award graded status to any stakes races for two-year-olds (or two-year-old fillies) that allows race-day medication, specifically the diuretic furosemide (Salix, also called Lasix). Less than six months remain until the first scheduled graded stakes for juveniles is run and not only has no regulatory body taken action, but the issue has not advanced beyond the committee level of any racing commission."

An outrageous and unwelcome development.

"[The regulations are] a monument to unintended consequence, hidden dangers, and dangerous assumptions."

How to do a disclosure.
