The International Federation of Horseracing Authorities should threaten to remove international Group and Graded status from drug-associated races such as those at the Breeders’ Cup, say Timeform
“Sport is losing its battle with drugs.” That statement by Timeform in their latest Racehorses annual out this week may arguably be levelled at cycling and athletics given the recent lurid headlines but racing cannot afford to be complacent, according to the respected tipping organisation.
While “efforts are still being made by a vocal minority in North American racing to prohibit the use of raceday medication on that continent,” Timeform point out “[that] drugs that are banned in nearly every other major racing jurisdiction are still being freely injected.”
