A deal was struck Saturday between Santa Anita Park and the Thoroughbred Owners of California that will allow the track to reopen, jcherwa reports.
Riders and horses returned to training on the Santa Anita Park track on Monday after a string of horse deaths. Another horse died Thursday.
Initially, all race-day Lasix was to be prohibited, under a proposal by the Stronach Group, which owns and runs Santa Anita. But the compromise position is that it will be applied only to 2018 foals, or horses that won’t race until next year. Horses currently on Lasix will be allowed to continue to receive the medication on race day but in a maximum dosage of 5cc, instead of the 10cc currently allowed.
