Ontario’s Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) rules prohibit most licensees from possessing hypodermic equipment or injectable substances at an association’s grounds without permission from the Stewards or Registrar. The rules also provide for searches and seizures, and make horses denerved or desensitised above the pastern ineligible to race, subject to stated exceptions.
Thoroughbred participants and track operators must comply with restrictions on injectables, searches and horse eligibility.
