What Government agency regulates horse racing?
967906
It differs from state to state. For example, in Kentucky, the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission regulates horseracing. There does not appear to be a federal regulation system, though two organizations which are not part of the government do regulate the industry, The National Thoroughbred Racing Association and The Association Of Racing Commissioners International.

Apparently, sometime in the early 1970s, furosemide's ability to prevent or at least greatly reduce the incidence of bleeding by horses during races was discovered accidentally. Pursuant to the racing rules of most states, horses that bleed from the nostrils three times are permanently barred from racing (for their own protection). Clinical trials followed, and by decade's end, racing commissions in some states began legalizing its use on race horses. On September 1, 1995, New York became the last state in the United States to approve such use, after years of refusing to consider doing so. Some states allow its use for all racehorses; some allow it only for confirmed "bleeders." Its use for this purpose is still prohibited in many other countries, however.

Everything jockeys do during the running of a race is under the scrutiny of the stewards.  There are very strict rules about what jockeys can and can't do in race riding, specifically to protect the safety of the riders and horses and the bettors who wager on the races.\n\nAny action by a jockey or horse that results in impeding or endangering another horse and rider can result in a steward's inquiry or a claim of foul that would result in the disqualification of the horse and rider that committed the foul, and possibly in a fine or suspension of the rider.  You can bet your bippy that if one jockey does something that causes another to be in danger, the jockey who has been endangered will be claiming foul against the other rider as soon as he can get to an outrider to do so.\n\nStill, there is a grey area between what's not allowed and what is considered to be "race riding."  Jockey Angel Cordero used to be infamous for pushing this boundary.  "Race riding" means doing things like shutting off a gap between horses or between a horse and the fence so someone can't get through, or doing something like drifting out to carry another horse wide, or waving the whip in another horse's field of vision to intimidate him.  \n\nThe jockey colony at any racetrack is a pretty tight-knit group, and while jockeys expect to encounter aggressive "race riding" tactics, especially when the stakes are high, there is also an expectation that nobody does anything so aggressive (or so stupid) as to put someone else in danger.  A jockey who uses tactics that endanger his or her fellow riders will find that the group he's riding against will, if necessary, complain to the stewards.  (This has happened to top jockey Pat Valenzuela several times, when his apparent drug use threatened the safety of other riders.)\n\nAlso true:  a jockey who rides so aggressively that he's constantly under threat of disqualification is going to eventually have trouble getting trainers to name him to ride their horses.  No trainer wants to see his horse disqualified because the jockey rode a bad race.\n\nAlso, a jockey who consistantly gets into trouble might find the stewards suspending his license, and if that happens, he's out of a job unless he can get his license back-- a process that is time-consuming and expensive.  \n\nRiding racehorses is one of the most dangerous jobs there is.  Every year there are jockeys who are killed or injured so badly that they become disabled.  Every jockey knows that every ride he makes might be the last one.  Knowing that, jockeys have very little tolerance for anyone who deliberately does things that might get someone hurt.

A claiming race is a race in which any person can 'claim' or buy any horse in the race. The amount of the claim price is based on the level of the competetion. The top claiming race is about $100,000 and the bottom goes down to less than $3,000.

The steeplechase is a form of horse racing (primarily conducted in the United Kingdom, United States, and Ireland) and derives its name from early races in which orientation of the course was by reference to a church steeple, jumping fences and ditches and generally traversing the many intervening obstacles in the countryside.\n\nIt is a term now used to refer to a distance horse race with diverse fence and ditch obstacles; the most famous of these is the English Grand National run at Aintree race course.

Banded Stakes races are races with horses that weren't good enough to make the more important races. Basically it's the race involving the inferior horses.

The horse needs to stay calm and relaxed. No energy can be used due to nerves or excitement. Race is on the track not in the barn. You do not feed the horse after 7 AM-no treats/no carrots, nothing. No morning workout the day before or race day, any and all races. Racehorses are the sole responsibility of the trainer even though the backbone of the racing industry is the owner of the horse...no owner-... no horse, no jockey, no trainer, no ferrier, etc. It all starts with the owner.\n\nFilms must be ordered, veternarians must examine the horse and, if need be, segregate the horse after a shot of lasix  has been administered. No visitors allowed in the backstretch, expecially near the horses readying to race. Security is tight. The groom and the hot-walker are usually the same person, so as to have the horse be in familiar hands when not racing. \n\nHorses are very sensitive to colic and must be well rested and not "blowing" hard after the race before they can drink or eat. Most trainers will not allow any visitors in the barn who are not specifically authorized, before or after any race to prevent the horse from becoming excited and injure himself in the stall. Visitors can excite the horses or give him treats which may comprimise any additive or medication given the horse.\n\nKentucky Derby day is very hectic and everybody wants to win as to bring in maximum amount of revenue for breeding purposes. Most kentucky Derby winners will start at $100,000 to cover a broodmare, once the horse has been retired. So, with 50-75 owners of broodmares ready to have their broodmares impregnated with the male sperm of the winner of the Kentucky Derby, multiply that income each year for twenty years. The income to the owner of a Kentucky Derby can be substantial over the years. Those figures are in place every year and skyrocket to $300,00-$500,000 if the winner of the Kentucky Derby produces a young colt who also wins the Kentucky Derby. \n\nOnce a horse enters the breeding shed he no longer races. It has been tried, to bring horses back into racing, but the horses are usually older and don't fair well once retired and returned to the track.\n\nIn essence, to have a horse even race in the Kentucky can be very lucrative for the owner, even if the horse comes last!...All in all, the security surounding the horses, any horse race is tight, to prevent the horse from injuring himself, other horses and the jockeys from a spill during the race. Not good for the horse/jockey and BAAAAD public relations for the track and the industry as a whole...\n\nTo get the pedigree of a racehorse, you need to obtain the letters and numbers tattoed on the inside of the upper lip. Sometimes it is very difficult to see the number. Use a high digital camera, 4 MP or larger, cover the horses eyes so as not to frieghten the horse, and take a flash-photo, once the upper lip is rolled back. Enhance that photo of the inside of the horses lip, where the number is located, onto a computer screen and retrieve it. Check with any equine veternarian within your state, as to how to check the pedigree once you have retrieved the number.\n\nAt the sales/auctions the pedigree is listed in the catologue that is given out for free at the entrance to anyone who is interested, as sometimes, horses may not have a tattoo because they may never have raced or are too young, yearling. But, most racehorses are tattooed early in life. It is very difficult to retrieve any information, pedigree/race record/injuries/etc., without that tattoo, on the inside of the upper lip, especially in older horses, unless papers are offered at the time of purchase. Certain features may depict a type of pedigree, i.e., large head may indicate a Bold Ruler progeny, but, it is strictly a good guess at best. That tattoo on the inside of the upper lip is the best way to find out about a horses pedigree and racing history...\n\n\nI hope I have answered your question and thank you very much for your r
