Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted November 27, 2019 Journalists Share Posted November 27, 2019 Beginning at 1 p.m. ET Dec. 2 and running for one week, the Racing Medication and Testing Consortium will auction off halters of history-making racehorses, stallions and broodmares on its eBay page. All proceeds from the auction go to the RMTC’s Tactical Research Program, which funds studies focused on the identification and detection of illicit substances impacting racing integrity and safety. Areas of special interest for studies funded through the program include bisphosphonates in horses in racing and race training, performance-enhancing or performance-modifying substances, and emerging substances with potential health, welfare and/or integrity hazards. “In just its second year, our Tactical Research Grant Program has already enabled our sport to make significant advances in targeting emerging threats and developing new techniques to test for them,” said RMTC Executive Director and COO Dr. Mary Scollay. “These studies are critical to protecting the health and welfare of our horses and strengthening the integrity of racing competition.” Halters offered include: Arrogate, Awesome Again, California Chrome, Code of Honor, Corona Cartel (QH), Get Stormy, Ghostzapper, Groupie Doll, Keen Ice, Lady Eli, Lava Man, Littleprincessemma, Malibu Moon, Maximum Security, McKinzie, Midnight Bisou, Mucho Macho Man, Omaha Beach, Orb, Rachel Alexandra, Silver Charm, Songbird, Speightstown, Tapit, Undrafted, War of Will, Wise Dan, Yoshida and Zenyatta.
