The New Jersey Racing Commission has informed The Meadowlands and the Hambletonian Society that all blood tests of horses entered in the $4.9 million Breeders Crown races Saturday were negative.
Compliance with the NJRC and the Hambletonian Society's out-of-competition testing rules were a condition of entry in the Breeders Crown races. All blood samples that were drawn were quickly processed at the New Jersey Equine Testing Laboratory. The NJRC recently approved regulations to conduct out-of-competition testing for blood doping agents such as EPO (epogen) and DPO (darboepoetin) in racehorses competing at The Breeders Crown out-of-competition rules as specified in the racing conditions were used for the first time in September, 2007, at Mohawk Raceway, in co-operation with the host track, Woodbine Entertainment Group. In addition to the standard blood gas testing on all winners and "specials", all winners and of Breeders Crown races will be subject to the "Super Test." The Society is a supporter of the Racing Testing and Medication Consortium. (Meadowlands)
