I have always been a big fan of capsaicin as an antihemorrhagic , but more and more racing jurisdictions seem to be objecting to its use. The first prosecutions occurred during the show jumping of the 2008 Olympic games Now it seems most of Europe, Australia, and New Zealand has followed suit in penalizing racehorse trainers for its use. So far, Pennsylvania seems to be the only state ruling against it:

Quote:
Prohibition of the use of Capsaicin and any products which contain Capsaicin, with a positive test resulting in a Class 1 medication violation. Research conducted by the University of Pennsylvania concluded the use of Capsaicin topically on equine joints may have an analgesic effect. The use of red pepper in the daily care of horses has been discouraged. (November 2010)




Joseph Michael Humber---5/7/12 was given 15 days DQ of Jest A Genius TB for capsaicin in Pennsylvania

Ramon R. Preciado ---7/2/11 at PA PHA was given 15 days DQ for the horse: Lemony Fresh TB for a positive for capsaicin

Scott M. Blackler on 11/29/10 PA CHST was given 15 days $500, DQ for the horse: Artlight Hanover ST for a positive for capsaicin
