For the first time, all 20 horses in the Kentucky Derby were administered surprise tests for performance-enhancing drugs.
Kentucky Environmental and Public Protection Cabinet spokesman Mark York said the decision to test all the entrants was not motivated by suspicions or allegations of wrongdoing, but to ensure enforcement of the state's medication rules.
"There were no particular concerns," York said. "We've been doing post-race testing, but we've added pre-race to bolster enforcement."
