TUCSON, Ariz. - Everyone is climbing aboard the Uniform Medication Rules Express, but two problems loom that can derail the trip.
There is no engineer in the cab, and no wheels on the train.
The National Thoroughbred Racing Association wants better standardized testing.
The American Association of Equine Practitioners thinks it is high time for the industry to get together on medication rules, and that veterinarians can and should lead the way. They hope to get a leg up on doing it at the Racing Symposium in Tucson in December.
