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?

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
