2歳馬に対するレース当日薬物投与禁止に有力馬主Mike Repoleが反発

Owner Repole to Skip Breeders' Cup | BloodHorse.com
人それぞれのスタンスがあってはいいとは思いますが、これは何とも。

Repole opposes most race-day medication but said in talking with veterinarians and trainers that Salix seems to be the one drug proven to prevent exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage.

"If you want to experiment with racing 2-year-olds without Lasix, I think I’m open to that. But let’s do it on the second race at Belmont on a Wednesday afternoon. Let’s not do it on one of the biggest days when people are actually paying attention," Repole said. "To me it makes no sense. Why would you want to experiment with top 2-year-olds? I wouldn’t want it to be my horse who bleeds or gets injured."
