Horse, Groomers Test Positive For Methamphetamine At Golden Gate Fields

http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2016/08/26/horse-groomers-test-positive-for-methamphetamine-at-golden-gate-fields/

A thoroughbred horse and two groomers tested positive for methamphetamine at the Golden Gate Fields race track, raising concerns about drug abuse at California race tracks.

The horse that tested positive for methamphetamine and amphetamine, named Run for Retts, won third place at a race in December at Los Alamitos Race Track. When Run for Retts tested positive after the race, she was disqualified and the purse monies were forfeited....

Run for Retts is just one of many racing horses to test positive for methamphetamine or amphetamine in recent years. Similar incidents have been reported in Kentucky, Minnesota and Australia, among other locations.

It is unclear whether any of the incidents involving horses testing positive for methamphetamine were intentionally done to enhance performance.


How would you even get a horse on meth into the gate?!
