Important Fact:

In March 2013, eight states (New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey,

Delaware, Virginia, West Virginia, and Massachusetts) agreed to operate all of their racetracks

under strict new rules that will limit the number of approved medications for racehorses to 24

and will require the drugs to be accredited under standards set forth by the Racing Medication

and Testing Consortium. The agreement is set to take effect on January 1, 2014.
