Minnesota Administrative Rules

7890.0120 REPORTING PROCEDURES.

Subpart 1.

Veterinarians must keep records.

Veterinarians must submit daily to the commission veterinarian, in writing or electronically on a prescribed form, a report of all horses treated at a licensed racetrack. The form shall contain the date and time, name of horse treated, trainer of horse, any medications, drugs, substances (as provided in part 7890.0100, subpart 13, items A to D), or procedures prescribed, administered, dispensed, or performed for horses registered at a current race meeting, and any other information requested by the commission veterinarian. The form must be filed by the treating veterinarian not later than noon on the day following treatment. The form shall be signed by hand or digitally by the treating veterinarian. The form is considered private and its content shall not be disclosed except in the course of an investigation of a possible violation of chapters 7869 to 7899, or in a proceeding before the stewards or commission, or to the trainer or owner of record at the time of treatment. A timely and accurate filing of the form that is consistent with the analytical results of a positive test may be used as a mitigating factor in determining the nature and extent, if any, of a rules violation.

Subp. 2.

Administration of NSAIDs to be reported.

If a horse is to race with a permitted NSAID in its system, the trainer or other representative shall be responsible for legibly and clearly marking the information on the entry blank for each race in which the horse shall use a permitted NSAID. Changes made after the time of entry must be submitted on the prescribed form to the commission veterinarian no later than scratch time. The specific NSAID to be used must be declared on the entry blank.

Subp. 3.

Administration of furosemide to be reported.

If a horse is to race with furosemide in its system, the trainer or other representative shall be responsible for legibly and clearly marking the information on the entry blank for each race the horse shall be entered in.
