Section 260-70-540. Veterinarians' reports.

(1) Every veterinarian who treats a racehorse at any location under the jurisdiction of the commission must, on a form approved by the commission, report all treatment to an official veterinarian. The report must include the following:

(a) The name of the horse treated;

(b) The name of any medication, drug, or substance administered or prescribed;

(c) The procedure administered;

(d) The name of the trainer;

(e) The date and time of treatment; and

(f) Any other information required by the official veterinarian.

(2) The practicing veterinarian must sign the report and file the report with an official veterinarian no later than post time of the race for which the horse is entered.
