Requirements for collecting race information

According to VTCR 80-210-002 § X, the Post Race Receiving Area of each track granted a license by the Commission is under the supervision and control of the Vermont Racing Commission and its representatives. When a Post Race Receiving Area is prescribed by the Commission for the securing of saliva, urine, or other samples for chemical analysis of such samples, the following rules are to govern the same:

• The saliva and urine specimen of the winner of each and every race shall be taken and from such other horses as the Stewards may direct.
• The winner of each race and any other horse specified by the Stewards shall be taken to the Post Race Receiving Area immediately following the race, except as provided for in Rule 183.
• The horse shall remain in the area for the taking of saliva, urine, or other samples, as prescribed by the Commission or its representatives, until released by proper authority (person in charge).
• The horse shall be accompanied by the groom and one helper to perform the duties of cooling out, washing, and so forth. When a body brace is to be used it is to be furnished by the responsible trainer and the State Veterinarian must be notified and be present during its use. No stable equipment other than that necessary to washing off and cooling out of the horse will be permitted in the area.
• In case the horse is accompanied by a lead pony, permission for the pony to enter the area must be obtained from the person in charge, and it must act under his direction at all times while in the enclosure.
• The owner, the trainer, or his groom or other representative must be present in the testing barn when a saliva, urine, or other specimen is taken from his horse, and must remain until the sample is sealed in his presence.

Therefore, if you want to collect race information from participants in Vermont, you must follow the rules and regulations set forth by the Vermont Racing Commission.
