On Thursday, horses could be given 10cc of the drug on race days. On Friday it drops to 5cc and next year all 2-year-olds will be prohibited from race-day medication. Only the U.S. and Canada allow race-day medication. Representatives of the Guild had asked that the vote be delayed because it believed there hadn’t been enough time to research the topic and present scientific evidence. They also said the materials submitted to the board for the meeting were inadequate.

Belinda Stronach, chief executive of The Stronach Group — which owns the track — also spoke on behalf of banning the use of the whip.
