The Water Hay Oats Alliance is a grassroots movement of like minded individuals who support the passage of federal legislation to prohibit the use of performance enhancing drugs in horseracing on race day. The widespread use of race day medication in American racing is destroying public confidence, defrauding the betting fan, weakening the genetic pool and, most importantly, putting life and limb of our equine athletes and their jockeys at risk. It is obvious that after years of committee review and discussion, America’s racing industry cannot police itself by eliminating the proliferation of performance enhancing drugs in our sport, nor does it possess the power to adequately punish the purveyors of these drugs. National uniformity can be accomplished by an amendment to the Interstate Horseracing Act of 1978, which simply states that tracks which simulcast race signals across state lines insure that horses run drug free on race day. www.waterhayoatsalliance.com/Also: www.paulickreport.com/news/ray-s-paddock/alliance-trainers-vets-obstruct-needed-medication-changes/
