Kentucky hires British lab for horse race testing (AP via Yahoo! Sports)

LEXINGTON, Kentucky (AP)—Kentucky racing officials have agreed to a contract with a British company to establish a major lab in the state that would conduct drug testing for its horse races, including the Kentucky Derby.

The Kentucky Horse Racing Commission voted unanimously Tuesday to agree to the contract with HFL Sport Science. The company is part of Quotient Bioresearch, one of the world's top drug surveillance laboratories for both human and equine sports.

Kentucky now sends samples to a lab at the University of Florida for testing. The panel agreed Tuesday to extend that contract through January 2011 until the new lab begins.

According to the racing commission, the shift to an in-state lab would save racetracks around 20 percent of their drug testing expenses.

Nepal army soldiers display their horse riding skills as they take part in the Ghode Jatra, a horse race festival held at Tundhikhel in Kathmandu.

The horse racing festival, which is organised by the Nepal army, is celebrated to drive demons away. The army has a
sanctioned strength of 95,753, but its present strength is 2,000 less than that figure. Nearly 4,400 of them are posted with UN peace keeping missions in 13 countries across the globe.
