Horse Racing

The Center’s Equine Exercise Physiology Laboratory is considered to be the best-equipped and most active lab of its kind in the country. Researchers utilizing the lab focus on preventive research rather than curing clinical syndromes or diseases. One area involves the investigation of the use of performance-altering substances in racehorses. The Center develops tests to detect the use of illicit substances and provides expert testimony in litigation involving the use of performance-altering substances. This research is critical to ensure a level playing field for all equestrian sports and the well-being of the equine athlete.
