SAFETY VESTS must be worn on the track - no exceptions.

STAY WITH YOUR HORSE! The MGC requires the owner, trainer, or his or her groom or other authorized representative be present in the testing enclosure when a blood, urine, or other specimen is taken from his or her horse and shall remain until the sample tag is attached to the specimen container.  Said tag shall be signed by the owner, trainer, or their representative as witnesses to the taking of the specimen.
