NEW FOR 2025 – A hair test is good for the current meet, only. Results of a negative hair test must be on file for the current meet before a horse can ENTER a race. Qualifier testing is still a requirement if it is in the conditions of the race.

Allow up to 10 business days for test results. No horse will be allowed to enter a race before results come back.

In case of a positive test, Fair Meadows Management will contact the trainer.

Special consideration will be made for horses needing to be tested in other jurisdictions. Contact the hair testing phone number for more info. Off-site testing will have to be approved on a case-by-case basis and must be conducted by a veterinarian under the auspices of a state regulatory body (racing commission) or Department of Agriculture.

It is trainer/owner responsibility to determine the best time to have a horse tested and to make the necessary arrangements. OQHRA makes every effort to contact the connections of horses nominated to any futurity or derby out of courtesy. It is your responsibility to know what races your horses will be running in and schedule an appointment accordingly. There will be no “Rush” samples, outside of stakes qualifiers.
