From The Desk of the OQHA Queen


The Region 4 Regional Champi- onships was such a great opportunity, I was very proud to be representing Ontario as the OQHA Queen. Ontario exhibitors saw many successes includ- ing 5 Champion buckles, 5 Reserve Champions and many top 10 finishes. It was a great experience to meet some of the other queens that will be competing in the 2011 Congress Queen’s Competition and help present awards as an ambassador for Ontario. I also had the opportunity to meet many of the amazing people that organize the Regional Championships as well as the All American Quarter Horse Congress. There are definitely many hard working people involved in keep- ing both these shows running. It was great to see some familiar faces in Columbus there to lend a helping hand. I can’t wait to see all of the won- derful people I met, at the Congress in October.

Directive No. 1-2011 Enhanced Testing for Clenbuterol


WHEREAS the Ontario Racing Commis- sion is committed to working with Indus- try stakeholders to expand the medication control program beyond existing pre-race, post-race testing and retention require- ments;


AND WHEREAS concerns were brought forward by the Quarter Horse Racing Owners of Ontario Inc. (QROOI) and other participants in the Quarter Horse Racing community regarding misuse of the therapeutic drug clenbuterol;


AND WHEREAS the Ontario Racing Commission (ORC) responded to this concern by working with the Canadian Pari-Mutuel Agency (CPMA) to develop an agreement to allow for enhanced test- ing of samples;


I would like to send out a very special THANK YOU to Jenny and Siica Denhartog who made it possible for me to attend the Regional Championship as the OQHA Queen. Thanks again for taking care of me.


2011 Ontario Quarter Horse Association Queen Jenna Woodley Regards,


TAKE NOTE THAT effective August 15th, 2011 all horses competing in Quar- ter Horse races in Ontario, where those horses have been selected to provide an Official Sample as defined by the CPMA and its regulations, will have their sam- ples subjected to enhanced testing by the ORC for the presence of the drug clen- buterol.


Enjoy the rest of your summer, good luck at the fall futurities, and hope- fully I’ll see all of you at Congress which is fast approaching!


AND FURTHER TAKE NOTICE THAT any sample where clenbuterol is detected at a level of 200 pg/ml or ore in urine, and/or 1-2 pg/ml or more in blood, will be deemed to be a violation of the Rules of Thoroughbred Racing 2009 and the Rac-


ing Commission Act, 2000 and the fol- lowing regulatory action against the owner and/or trainer of the horse will result:


1/ Disqualification of the horse from the race;


2/ Return and redistribution of earnings from that race;


• The owner of the horse produces a negative test result; and


3/ The horse will be made ineligible to race until:


• The ORC investigation is complete. 4/ Any other penalties that the Director or his designate deems appropriate;


AND FURTHER TAKE NOTICE THAT if clenbuterol is detected in a horse that has been claimed, the regulatory action will be imposed against the original owner and/or trainer of record and the claimant has the option to return the horse to the original owner and the claiming price will be returned to the claimant. The request to return the horse shall be made in accordance with the procedure outlined in Rule 12.32 of the Rules of Thorough- bred Racing. If the horse is not returned, the new owner will be required to provide the negative test result prior to entering the horse to race.


BY ORDER OF THE COMMISSION


John L. Blakney Executive Director
