Horse racing panel to hear comments on drugs ? Artesia News

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) ? The Kentucky Horse Racing Commission will meet Tuesday afternoon to hear public comments on a proposal to phase out the use of an anti-bleeding drug on race days.

Kentucky would become the first to take the action against the drug, which is banned internationally.

The ban would initially apply to 2-year-olds, starting next January, and then to 2- and 3-year-olds starting the following year. In 2015, the ban would apply to any horse.

The meeting is set for 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. EDT at the Capitol Annex in Frankfort.
