TRACK RULES
Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs AND HARRAH’S
Philadelphia CASINO & RACETRACK
1. Horsemen are to be licensed by and familiar with the rules of
the Pennsylvania Harness Racing Commission (PHRC) and the
United States Trotting Association (USTA). In the event of any
conflicts, the Judges at the Host Track (i.e. Harrah’s
Philadelphia, Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs) shall determine
which rules apply. The violation of any of the rules may result
in disciplinary action including loss of purse, fines and/or
suspension. Any ruling by the Judges at the Host Track is
subject to appeal to the PHRC. Trainers are responsible for the
licensing of their owners and employees, along with providing
proof of Workmen’s Compensation Insurance to the PHRC.
2. All racing applications must be submitted online only.
3. Horses eligible to the bottom classes that are approved to
race at either Host Track prior to the start of the current race
meet must start within the first 30 days of the current meet or
within the date of acceptance, whichever applies. Horses that
do not start within the 30 days must be re-submitted.
4. In order for a horse to qualify and/or race at either track, proof
of a current year Coggin’s test, rabies vaccination, along with a
health certificate dated within 30 days of the horse’s first start
at either Host Track must be submitted to the appropriate
Racing Office. If the required paperwork for a horse has
already been submitted at another track and that information
is indicated on the USTA eTrack eligibility report, then that
paperwork need not be submitted.
5. It is PHRC policy that all horses originally entered in an
overnight class shall have preference over any horse
subsequently moved into the class from another class or as a
late entry.
6. In designated events, preference will be given for wholly
Pennsylvania owned horses, Pennsylvania sired horses, horses
stabled at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs and horses stabled
in Pennsylvania. Trainers must submit to management a list of
all horses stabled at their facilities for approval. In addition,

TRACK RULES
preference will be determined by the racing dates of the
horse’s last two (2) pari-mutuel starts during the current year.
For first time starters, preference will be determined by the
following: 4 Yr. Olds & Older – by the most recent satisfactory
qualifying race; 2 & 3 Yr. Olds – by the first qualifying race
going in the required time, provided they have no more than
three (3) qualifying lines prior to being entered in the box. In
some classes, preference may be given to horses that fit the
original condition over horses that actually fit a lower class. If
a horse isn’t listed on a trainer’s roster, it possibly may not
be used.
7. Anyone racing horses on their own, along with working for
another trainer, must notify the Judges and the Racing Office
of this potential conflict. Horses from those separate entities
will not be allowed to race against each other.

race in a qualifying race without Lasix. The horse must be
tested and show no Lasix in the system.

established by the PHRC. When it is determined that a horse
has a high metabolic alkalosis, the horse will be scratched from
competition. Furthermore, the horse will not be able to be
dropped into the box for five (5) consecutive days after the
high metabolic alkalosis positive.
50.CLAIMS – A current or associate member of the USTA or a
current licensee of this or another racing jurisdiction may claim
any horse in a claiming race. Claims must be in 30 minutes
prior to post time of the race. Trainers may not submit multiple
claims on any one horse in a race. Check with the Horsemen’s
Bookkeeper at each Host Track as to what is accepted and
required for funds to claim a horse. Horses claimed at a Host
Track will not be allowed to race at another track for a period
of sixty (60) days, unless it is at another track in Pennsylvania.
No other reason will be accepted to allow a horse at another
track outside Pennsylvania within that time period. A newly

MEDICATION RECOMMENDATIONS (summary)
Anabolic steroids. As of October 1st, 2008, the Pennsylvania Harness
Racing Commission prohibited the use anabolic and androgenic
steroids in all horses competing in the State of Pennsylvania. No
anabolic steroids (ABS) will be allowed in horses competing in the
State of Pennsylvania. The exceptions are 100 pg/mLof plasma for
boldenone, nandrolone, and stanozolol. Testosterone plasma
concentrations greater than 100 pg/mL plasma are not allowed in the
female or gelded male horse. Acceptable plasma concentration of
natural occurring testosterone of 2000 pg/mL has been established
for the intact male horse.
Elimination from plasma of anabolic and androgenic steroids
following a single intramuscular injection can be variable and a period
of at least 30 to 60 days should be allowed before entering a horse in
an official race. To assure compliance out-of-competition testing for
anabolic and androgenic steroids is available in the State of
Pennsylvania at a cost payable by the trainer or owner. Information
for submitting an unofficial out-of-competition plasma sample for
anabolic or androgenic steroids is available at all Pennsylvania Tracks.
Human Chorionic Gonadatrophin (HCG) provocative test is available to
determine if a gelding is truly a gelding and not a monorchid, cryptorchid
or has some remaining residual testicular tissue. Contact a Commission
Veterinarian or Commission Track Manager for more information.

Corticosteroids. As of June 1st, 2009, the Pennsylvania Harness
Racing Commission is regulating the intra-articular injections of
corticosteroids, to be no less than 7 days prior to race-day. This
policy dictates that the plasma concentration of all the exogenously
administered corticosteroids must be below the level of
quantification. In other words, the laboratory should not be able to
quantify any corticosteroid concentration in plasma at the time the
horse competes in an official race.
Plasma concentration of triamcinolone acetonide (Vetalog®) (20
mg) and methylprednisolone acetate (Depo-Medrol®) (200 mg)
administered via the intra-articular route were below the level of
quantification at 8 days.
It is recommended that methylprednisolone should not be used for
the intra-articular injections especially on multiple occasions as its
elimination from the joint has been found to be inconsistent. Our
original recommendation to the veterinarians was that it should not
be used, still remains.
Methylprednisone (Depo-Medrol), triamcinolone (Vetalog) or
corticosteroids labeled for intra-articular injections only, should not
be administered IM, SQ, IV or for soft pallet injections.
Plasma concentration of the intramuscular administration of
triamcinolone acetonide (Vetalog®) at a dose of 20 mg was quantified
in plasma for up to 14 days. It is recommended that this route of
administration for Vetalog® and Depo-Medrol® be discontinued.
Plasma concentration of the intravenous administration of
dexamethasone (Azium solution) (25 mg) was below the level of
quantification at 48 hours post injection.
Dexamethasone solution (Azium solution) (25mg) administered orally
was below the level of quantification at 48 hours post administration.
Dexamethasone phosphate (Dexium-SP) (25mg) administered IM or IV
was below the level of quantification at 48 hours post administration.
Dexamethasone phosphate (Dexium-SP) (25mg) administered by
intra-articular injection was below the level of quantification at the
required 7 days hours post administration.
22
The trainer should contact his/her attending veterinarian for
further advice on the administration of corticosteroids

Flunixin. The State of Pennsylvania does not consider the finding of
flunixin in urine a violation. The corresponding plasma sample is
analyzed by LCMS, and is a violation when the plasma concentration
is in excess of 20 ng/ml. Flunixin at 1.1 mg/kg administered IV or
PO 24 hours prior to race day should not result in a violation.
The IM or SQ. administration may result in a violation, due to a
slower absorption pattern in the horse. Oral paste formulations
should not be used. If oral route of administration is selected and
the preparation is fed in grain, the grain should be removed
immediately following consumption to avoid later consumption of
small amounts of medication remaining in the feed bucket.
Phenylbutazone. Pennsylvania does allow a plasma
concentration of 5 ug/ml on race day. The 2-gram administration
24 hours prior to race day should be administered IV.
23
Naproxen. The recommended dose is 5 mg/kg IV or 10 mg/kg
orally twice daily for 14 days. The reported bioavailability in the
horse is 50 %. Due to its long half-life at least 96 hours should be
allowed for clearance following a single IV dose of 5 mg/kg
especially if administered orally and at least 120 hours following
multiple doses before racing.
Nabumetone. This drug has a similar structure to naproxen and
due to the long half-life of nabumetone at least 96 hours should
be allowed following a single oral dose of 3.7 mg/kg and least
120 hours following multiple oral doses before racing.
Pyrilamine. Pyrilamine is a ARCI Class 4 therapeutic drug. It is
recommended that after multiple doses a minimum withdrawal
period of 48 hours be used. Because of the variability between
horses, a 72-hour withdrawal period is recommended.
Isoxsuprine. In the State of Pennsylvania the recommended
withdrawal time is 96 hours.
Aqueous procaine-penicillin-G. The last administration of an
antibiotic product containing procaine penicillin-G must occur 48
hours before the scheduled post time of the race for which the
horse is entered. The Commission Veterinary Medication List
MUST contain the dose, dosage form, route and time of the last
administration, and the consecutive number of day for which
procaine penicillin-G was administered prior to the last dose. The
required information must be transmitted by the Commission
Office to the laboratory upon request by the Laboratory Director.
The laboratory screens for penicillin and procaine in plasma.
Plasma, not urine is used to call a violation.

and Watson AO (2000) Pharmacokinetics of penicillin G procaine versus penicillin
G potassium and procaine hydrochloride in horses. American Journal of Veterinary
Research. 61:811-815.
Methocarbamol. Pennsylvania Harness Racing Commission does
not allow the administration of any drug within 24 hours of the
post-time of the first race. Formulations of methocarbamol must
be purchased from compounding pharmacies with labeled
concentration of 100 mg/ml.
Total doses the IV administrations were 1111 to 1265 mg. The
Limit of Quantification is 1 ng/mL and the plasma concentration at
24 hours must be below this Limit of Quantification. In the
24
administration of methocarbamol IV, a number of factors must be
taken into consideration; the administration must be performed
outside the 24-hour period, the weight of the horse being
medicated must be known, and the knowledge that compounded
solutions are not from an FDA approved company with consistent
quality control for actual methocarbamol concentration.
Concentrations of drugs per mL can vary when purchased from
compounding pharmacies.
Guidelines for the oral administration have not been completed.
Phenytoin. The suggested withdrawal time is 72 hours, which
should be an adequate time period for the clearance of phenytoin
from plasma provided the treatment schedule and dose are 8.8
mg/kg for a single oral, a single intravenous, or twice-a-day for 5
days. The terminal elimination phase half-life following 5 days of
phenytoin orally administered was 11.3 hours with a range of 5.6
to 15.7 hours. This value was not significantly different from the
single oral administration of phenytoin.

horse. Am. J. Vet. Res.62:2001, 483-489
Aminocaproic acid (Amicar). A total dose of 1.25 to 2.5 gms IV
(5 to 10 mls) 4 to 2 hours before the race has been used for the
treatment of horses, which have been, diagnosed with EIPH and
placed on the Commissions “bleeders list”. Most veterinarians
do administer the medication with furosemide as a matter of
convenience.
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Dimethyl sulfoxide is approved by
the FDA for topical use. Following oral or intravenous
administration of DMSO, horses should not race for at least 48
hours post administration. These guidelines are based on the
administration of 60 ml DMSO administered orally and
intravenously.
It is suggested that the horse should not exercise or race
following the topical administration of DMSO as the increase in
blood flow to muscles and skin do to exercise will increase its
absorption and may exceed the threshold of 10µg/ml resulting in
a violation. This is based on the topical administration of 60 ml of
DMSO.

claiming procedure
• A post-race urine or blood test, or both, shall be taken from
each horse claimed out of a claiming race. The claim shall be
voidable at the claimant’s discretion if the forensic analysis
by the Commission’s laboratory results in a positive test for
a prohibited substance, as provided in § 183.352 (relating
to post-race saliva, urine and blood tests). The claimant shall
notify the Presiding Judge in writing within 24 hours of the
intention to void the claim and return the claimed horse to
the original owner. The claimant shall immediately sign over
to the original owner the necessary certificates of ownership
of the claimed horse. This subsection does not relieve the
original trainer/owner of the responsibility for the condition of
the claimed horse during the trainer/owner’s control or care or
custody of the horse.
• If a horse is claimed, no right, title or interest therein may
be sold or transferred except in a claiming race for 30 days
following the date of claiming. The horse may not race at a
track other than the track where claimed for 60 days or the
balance of the current racing meeting, whichever comes first,
unless released by the racing secretary.
• Make claim checks payable to Harrah’s Philadelphia or Downs
Racing LP.
• Trainers who have claimed horses please note Track Rule #47:
A current or associate member of the USTA or a current
licensee of this or another racing jurisdiction may claim any
horse in a claiming race. Check with the Horsemen’s
Bookkeeper at each Host Track as to what is accepted and
required for funds to claim a horse. Horses claimed at a Host
Track will not be allowed to race at another track for a period
of sixty (60) days, unless it is at another track in Pennsylvania.
No other reason will be accepted to allow a horse that has a
trainer that is not yet approved to race at the Host Track may
not be allowed to start at another track outside Pennsylvania
for the 60 days from the date of the claim. Trainers who take a
newly claimed horse to track outside of Pennsylvania before
the 60 days have expired will be fined and denied racing
privileges at all Pennsylvania track for a period of sixty (60) days.

drug & breathalyzer tests
Drug & Breathalyzer Tests: Trainers & Drivers
Trainers & Drivers Urine Test
A driver, trainer, groom or official for a race may be subjected to
a urine test or other noninvasive fluid test for the detection of
controlled substances or prescription drugs. The testing will be
conducted and administered on racing days on track premises in
a manner prescribed by the Commission. An individual subject to
this requirement who refuses to submit to the test if requested to
do so by a representative of the Commission is subject to a fine of
$250 and an immediate 10-day suspension to be imposed by the
presiding judge or associate judge.
Breath Analyzer Requirements
Drivers, Judges, Starters, Starting Gate Drivers and track
equipment operators and Marshals shall be required to submit
to a breath analyzer test at each racing program in which they
participate. Other licensees may be required to submit to a
Breath Analyzer test at the direction of the Commission. If the
results of such test show a reading of .035% or more none of
the above named herein shall be permitted to participate in the
racing program. Upon any violation of this rule a report shall be
made to the Commission and the U.S.T.A. If any driver, judge,
starter, starting gate driver, track equipment operator, or marshal
or a licensee who refuses to submit to the testing procedures
prescribed in this section, that individual shall not be permitted to
participate in the racing program of that day or night and may be
subject to further penalties by the Commission.
