i understand Stevens was given injections to his hip to ride the BC races.

Why is it legal to juice up a jockey for big races..
a horse can't get a steroid or a painkiller/anti inflammatory for a race ??

is this allowed ?

The DRF used to list it as "B" in its past performances.

my understanding was that lasix is all the race day meds a horse can get

Can we get a little help on clarifying this ..please

The horses are allowed to be treated the day before, not on race day.
