Joint Injection Reporting Requirements

Maryland:

The trainer of record of a horse that was claimed shall have his veterinarian supply the state veterinarian, within 72 hours, a report in writing or email of a joint injection or injections performed on a claimed horse within the last 30 days. The report must include the joint or joints involved, medication used (Depo-Medrol or Hyaluronic Acid, for example) and the dosage. The data will be shared with the connections that claimed the horse.

New York:

The New York State Gaming Commission requires that a record of every corticosteroid joint injection be recorded by the trainer or attending veterinarian within 48 hours of treatment on the equine steroid administration log on the commission’s website. If a horse is claimed, the history of corticosteroid injections is automatically transferred to the claimant.
