Class 1: Stimulant and depressant drugs that have the highest potential to affect performance and that have no generally accepted medical use in the
racing horse. Many of these agents are Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) schedule II substances. These include the following drugs and their metabolites:
Opiates, opium derivatives, synthetic opioids and psychoactive drugs, amphetamines and amphetamine-like drugs as well as related drugs, including but
not limited to apomorphine, nikethamide, mazindol, pemoline, and pentylenetetrazol
. Though not used as therapeutic agents, all DEA Schedule 1 agents
are included in Class 1 because they are potent stimulant or depressant substances with psychotropic and often habituative actions. This class also includes
all erythropoietin stimulating substances and their analogues.
• Class 2: Drugs that have a high potential to affect performance, but less of a potential than drugs in Class 1. These drugs are 1) not generally accepted
as therapeutic agents in racing horses, or 2) they are therapeutic agents that have a high potential for abuse. Drugs in this class include: psychotropic drugs,
certain nervous system and cardiovascular system stimulants, depressants, and neuromuscular blocking agents. Injectable local anesthetics are included
in this class because of their high potential for abuse as nerve blocking agents.
• Class 3: Drugs that may or may not have generally accepted medical use in the racing horse, but the pharmacology of which suggests less potential to
affect performance than drugs in Class 2. Drugs in this class include bronchodilators, anabolic steroids and other drugs with primary effects on the
autonomic nervous system, procaine, antihistamines with sedative properties and the high-ceiling diuretics.
• Class 4: This class includes therapeutic medications that would be expected to have less potential to affect performance than those in Class 3. Drugs in
this class includes less potent diuretics; corticosteroids; antihistamines and skeletal muscle relaxants without prominent central nervous system (CNS)
effects; expectorants and mucolytics; hemostatics; cardiac glycosides and anti-arrhythmics; topical anesthetics; antidiarrheals and mild analgesics. This
class also includes the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), at concentrations greater than established limits.
• Class 5: This class includes those therapeutic medications that have very localized actions only, such as anti-ulcer drugs, and certain anti-allergic drugs.
The anticoagulant drugs are also included
CERTAIN CLASSIFACATIONS DO NOT AFFECT THE OUTCOME, BUT WHEN ABOVE CERTAIN LIMITS A FINE AND PURSE REDISTRIBUTION ARE IN ORDER, THOSE ARE BETTER KNOWN AS THERAPUTIC
