• The RCI system sets thresholds for each drug, down to how many nanograms per milliliter can be administered to a horse.
• "If your horse needs more than that, your horse probably shouldn't be running," laCour said.

• "Let's say horsemen come from South Dakota and come here. Well, if both of us have the RCI rules, then they know exactly what they have to do right off the bat," laCour said.
