New York horse owners were recently discouraged to discover that drug tests were not performed on the racehorses despite the fact that they were paying a 10$ fee for each thoroughbred that runs in New York. The program is supposed to be conducted at the College of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell University.

According to Dr.Michael Kotlikoff, the college’s dean, they were not provided with sufficient funds by the New York State Racing and Wagering Board. Racing Board officials opposed with Dr. Kottlikoff statement that the state is not providing the University with enough money. Rather, the problem has to do with the increased fee of drug testing in the said university. Kotlikoff said that they have to raise drug testing fees in order to cover the deficit from the costs incurred by the drug-testing program in the past years. Added to that, the building where the testing is conducted is in a state of damage that they may have no choice but to close it in the future. If this happens, then drug-testing would be done outside New York which would cost three times more than what they are charging.

The test should be conducted in order to detect the use of anabolic steroids in horse racing and to detect the use of “milkshake”. Milkshake is a combination of baking soda and other substances that delays the onset of lactic acid in horses.

According to New York Times:

“I was told they were testing for steroids and that they were testing everywhere for the milkshakes,” said Kim Crawford, director of the United States Trotting Association, who is also a trainer and driver at Saratoga Raceway. “The state is getting the $10 per horse from us and that amounts to a lot of money. Now, we find out they’re not doing the testing they’re supposed to be doing.”
