This is more of an insider question. Being that I am new to the area and might be interested in some horses, does anyone know what the rules are in the state of Ohio if I were to claim a horse, am I able to request from the state vet at my expense a test for EPO be done? And if I do test for it and it were to come back positive what are the repercussions to the old trainer and what am I able to do with the said horse?
I would also like to know if a CO2 test is done on a horse that is claimed etc etc.
Thanks for humoring me.

Of course at your own expense you can have a horse tested for anything after the horse is yours, but as far as reprecussions towards the previous trainer, none currently exist. A Co2 test may or may not have been performed pre-race as part of the normal nightly routine. I would say approximatly 1/4 of the horses on any given race night are randomly tested. |
