Are there two sets of rules or standards for harness racing and thoroughbred racing ?
Reason I ask, one of the horses that broke down on TV in a graded stakes at Saratoga - have come to find out that he was injected 14 days before he raced which turned out to be the final race -- but also was injected 14 days out from his three previous races. In addition the same pattern was used for another of this trainers horses that broke down and put down while racing at Monmouth.
Is there a 14 day wait period in harness racing once a horse is injected in harness racing ?
