This would be one of the dumbest moves NYRA could make. Seeing how all they care about is bottom line... :bang:

They would only hurt them selves. Would prolly cut they're attendance in half.

They shunned Il Hane Another,why wouldn't it apply to CC?

What possible reason could there be for outlawing a nasal strip?
You can use lasix to mask other drugs but not naturally help a horse breath?
What am I missing here?

I remember the time when nasal strips were consider ed equipment and listed in the PPs. Lots a form reversals with them. Why now do we not get this information?

They should be treated like any other piece of equipment and listed on the card when a horse is wearing them.

A quick rule change in the next week or two could fix that.

What's odd is that they are allowed in Harness racing in NY.

California Chrome wears a nasal strip and has since Dec. 22, when he started his current six race winning streak that includes victories in the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes. Currently, New York is the only racing state in the country that doesn’t allow it for thoroughbreds, but does for harness horses racing in New York.

open up the nasal passages allow a horse to breathe better




Sherman said he starting wearing it when his winning streak started.."helps breathing"will need it for 1.5 miles

Why change the rule?IHA wasn't allowed to wear them neither..Both Cali horses.

Because a) it's a dumb rule and b) NYRA will lose out on a potential 100,000+ crowd and all the hype that goes with a TC being on the line.

[classhandicapper]

I have no idea what the rationale is for disallowing nasal strips, but it makes no sense to me on the surface.

[NY BRED]

hard to believe the removal of a strip will cause CC to lose the Belmont.

It would be interesting to note if he works with strips.

[clocker7]

Tongue-tied :D

[Shelby]

Another example of the inequality of rules across horse racing. Nasal strips should either be banned every where (which, IMO, would be stupid) or allowed everywhere.

[Mr_Ed]

The Triple Crown is of a different era.

RIP.

[camourous]

Its not even a rule its up to the Stewards, if they didnt let IHA wear it they shouldn't Chrome either

[Bullet Plane]

It would be stupid to make any equipment changes...

now, at this stage of the game...


There's plenty of big races down the road.

Let the crickets croak at Belmont...

[Mr_Ed]

New York State steward Carmine Donofrio was not available for comment May 25, and calls to the stewards at Belmont Park were not returned.

One concern Chiapetta said he knows has been raised about the nasal strips has been the potential for a strip, listed as equipment in a program, to fall off in the paddock or at the gate in wet weather. The horse would then have to be scratched.

[classhandicapper]

I just read an article on why the "stewards" (not NYRA) disallows the strips, but none of them seems significant enough to warrant a ban, especially because there may be some positive impact on the horse's lungs to wearing them.

[samyn on the green]

NY is a bastion of stupidity. Ruling class bankers can loot the treasury for trillions but regular citizens are arrested / fined for benign offense such as parking within 30 feet of a stop sign or riding a bike down a one way street. Being that Chrome's owners are not powerful agents of usury don't expect the authority to rule favorably for them.
