Possible Action: Possible action may include, but is not limited to: taking no action; adopting the recommendations, in whole or in part; deciding not to adopt the recommendations; adopting a modified version; or continuing the matter.

F. Proposed Opening of the Permanent Rulemaking Pro cess to Consider Repeal of Rule 325 :45-1-28, Report of Treatment: Procaine Penicillin Administration, in the OHRC Rules of Racing As Proposed by Ad Hoc Committee on Medications The Ad Hoc Committee on Medications recommends that the Commission consider repealing Rule 325:45-1-28, Report of Treatment: Procaine Penicillin Administration, which rule was added in CY 2009 to assist Trainers in using the therapeutic medication.


8

The current regulatory language of Rule 325:45-1-28, Report of Treatment: Procaine Penicillin Administration, reads as follows:

The efficacious nature of Procaine Penicillin shall permit its use as a therapeutic medication. A Trainer or his Veterinarian shall submit, prior to post time of the first race on the day of the race, a report to the Official Veterinarian that the horse participating on that day’s race card has been previously treated with a Procaine Penicillin administration. The report must contain the Procaine Penicillin administration, treatment dates, dosage, name and tattoo number of the horse, Trainer’s name and race date. The presence of Procaine Penicillin in the post race sample of a participating horse is permitted under the following conditions: (1) Report of treatment is properly filed with the Official Veterinarian. (2) The treated horse is presented, prior to the first race, to the Official Veterinarian in order to draw an adequate blood sample for testing. (3) The pre-race blood/serum sample shall be tested and compared to the post-race blood/serum sample. The pre-race sample shall not exceed the Commission-sanctioned levels for thresholds. Should the pre-race sample levels be reported by the official testing laboratory as equal to or greater than the post-race levels, there shall be no positive affidavit filed by the laboratory. (4) Should the post-race sample levels exceed the pre-race levels by an amount not sanctioned by the Commission, the sample shall be treated as being in violation of the rules of this Chapter. A positive affidavit will be issued by the laboratory. The Stewards may use mitigating factors in their decision to impose disciplinary action against the Trainer, horse or other parties found to have been in violation of this Chapter. The cost of pre-race testing shall be the responsibility of the Owner of the treated horse.

The repeal of the rule would make it clear that the use of Procaine Penicillin as a therapeutic medication includes an assumption of risk by Owners and Trainers as cited in the Directive on Commission-Sanctioned Thresholds as follows:

(7) Owner’s and Trainer’s Assumption of the Risk.

In an effort to allow horses that have been treated with specified therapeutic medications to race, the Commission has replaced its no tolerance standard for those medications with Commission-Sanctioned Thresholds. As specified above, under this Directive, a specified therapeutic medication may be used if two (2) conditions are met:

1. The medication must be administered at least 24 hours prior

to post time of the race in which the horse is entered, and


9

2. The post-race concentration level of the medication in the horse’s plasma/serum cannot exceed the Commission-Sanctioned Threshold for the medication.

While the Commission established thresholds are based on

scientific studies, there is no guarantee that administration of an allowed therapeutic medication twenty-four (24) hours prior to post time will result in a concentration level of the medication that complies with Commission-Sanctioned Thresholds, as the condition of the horse, the horse’s metabolism, the route of drug administration, the dosage of the drug administered, and other factors may affect the post-race levels of the medication in the horse’s plasma or serum. Accordingly, owners and trainers who use a permitted therapeutic medication assume the risk that, even if the drug is administered twenty-four (24) hours prior to post time, the concentration level of the medicatio n in the horse’s plasma or serum may, nevertheless, exceed the Commi ssion-Sanctioned Threshold for the medication.

Possible Action:

Possible action may include, but is not limited to: taking no action; approving the beginning of the permanent rulemaking procedure to repeal the rule as proposed, or as modified at the meeting, by authorizing publication in The Oklahoma Register and scheduling of a Public Hearing; or continuing the matter.

G. Proposed Opening of the Permanent Rulemaking Pro cess to Consider Rule Amendments of the OHRC Rules of Racing As Proposed by Commission Staff

1. Ms. Mary Ann Roberts, Staff Attorney, recommends amendments to the following two racing rules to change the term ‘plasma’ to ‘plasma/serum’ to be consistent within the rules as well as the Directive on Commission-Sanctioned Thresholds:

Rule 325:45-1-9. Furosemide (Salix) Use without De tention Barn The use of Furosemide (Salix) shall be permitted under the following conditions: (1) The dose shall be administrated intravenously. (2) The Commission has established a post race plasma plasma/serum concentration level not to exceed 100 ng/ml of Furosemide (Salix). (3) Any treated horse may be subject to having a blood and/or urine sample taken at the direction of the Official Veterinarian to determine the quantitative Furosemide (Salix) levels and/or the presence of other drugs which may be present in the blood or urine sample. The cost of such testing shall be at the expense of the Owner. (4) The permitted quantitative Furosemide (Salix) level (tolerance level) shall not exceed the tolerance level established by Commission directive [3A:205.2(H)]. Said directive shall be conspicuously posted within the enclosure by the Official Veterinarian. (5) The Stewards shall impose a fine of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) for any Trainer in violation of this Section for a first time offense.

325:45-1-22. Phenylbutazone Use The use of Phenylbutazone shall be permitted under the following conditions: (1) Any horse to which Phenylbutazone has been administered shall be subject to having a blood and/or urine sample(s) taken at the direction of the Official Veterinarian to determine the quantitative Phenylbutazone level(s) and/or the presence of other drugs which may be present in the blood or urine sample(s). The cost of such testing


11

shall be at the expense of the horse Owner. (2) The permitted quantitative test level of Phenylbutazone shall not exceed 5 micrograms (ug) per milliliter (ml) of plasma plasma/serum . (3) The Stewards shall impose a fine of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) for violation of paragraph (2) of this Section if the result of quantitative testing exceeds 5 micrograms (ug) per milliliter (ml) of plasma plasma/serum but not greater than 10 micrograms (ug) per milliliter (ml) of plasma plasma/serum . In the event any Trainer violates paragraph (2) of this Section not exceeding 10 micrograms per milliliter of plasma plasma/serum five (5) or more times within a one (1) year period, that Trainer shall be subject to a One Thousand Dollar ($1,000.00) fine. If the result of quantitative testing of the sample(s) exceed 10 micrograms (ug) per milliliter (ml) of plasma plasma/serum , the Stewards shall impose a fine of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00); and the Owner or Owners of such horse shall not participate in any portion of the purse or stakes; and any trophy or other award shall be returned.

Penalties for third time and subsequent violations on the same horse shall be assessed by the Stewards to include fines not to exceed Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00) per person per violation, suspension of a license for up to one year, revocation of a license, ordering that a person be ineligible to hold a license, referral of the matter to the Commission with or without recommendation, or any combination of these assessments. (4) If within one (1) year, any Licensee violates paragraph 3 of this Section by exceeding 10 ug/ml of plasma plasma/serum five (5) times or more, the Stewards shall refer that Licensee to the Commission for disciplinary action.


12

Possible Action: Possible action may include, but is not limited to: taking no action; approving the beginning of the permanent rulemaking process to amend the rules as proposed, or as modified at the meeting, by authorizing publication in The Oklahoma Register and scheduling of a Public Hearing; or continuing the matter.

2. In CY 2009, the Commission adopted a new rule, Rule¨325:75-1-12.1,

Application Requirements, Categories and Fees for Thoroughbreds, Beginning with an Effective Date of January 1, 2010, that included a new fee, the yearly re-certification fee for Thoroughbred Stallions.

Ms. Tara Teel, Oklahoma-Bred Registrar, recommends amendments to the following two rules to address the yearly re-certification of Thoroughbred Stallions. A. Add a definition for the re-certification of Thoroughbred stallions to Rule

325:75-1-2, Definitions, as follows:

NOTE TO READER: Proposed additions are shown in t he bold and underline fonts.

“Stallion Re-certification” means completing a recertification application annually for Thoroughbr ed stallions that were previously accredited in the St allion Registry.

Possible Action: Possible action may include, but is not limited to: taking no action; approving the beginning of the permanent rulemaking process to amend the rules as proposed, or as modified at the meeting, by authorizing publication in The Oklahoma Register and scheduling of a Public Hearing; or continuing the matter.

3. Commission Staff recommends amending Rule 325:65-1-44, Pools Dependent
