NM governor demands drug-free racing

Quote:

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico’s governor is demanding that horse racing regulators make immediate changes to address the use of performance enhancing drugs at the state’s tracks and that they consult with Kentucky, California and New York on best practices to ensure drug-free racing.

In a letter sent Thursday to the New Mexico Racing Commission, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham pointed to the recent deaths of seven horses at Ruidoso Downs. The track will host the All American Futurity — the richest quarter horse race — over the Labor Day weekend.

New Mexico racing is the lowest of the low, other than Puerto Rico and that horrible Georgia unregulated stuff

What are the New Mexico rates per 1000 starters compared to those in steeplechase racing?

Racing on concrete in NM is better for horses than finding a way to extend their careers and with trainers you can trust to care for horses?
