That's the race to the bottom point. All it actually takes is a couple to side with the horsemen. Then everyone else follows suit because they can't lose horses to the other states.
The most obvious example of where this happened was Lasix. Once a few states decided to allow Lasix and that they weren't going to require proof of bleeding, detention barns, etc., the floodgates opened and other states were forced to go along. New York held out for as long as it could, but in the end, even they had to cave.
