 The backstretch security measures Oaklawn introduced last year, which include increased camera surveillance and a roving monitor who patrols the stable area, have remained in place for the new meet. There is also a new rule concerning trainers who come up with multiple medication infractions at the track, said Eric Jackson, general manager of Oaklawn.

\"The three strikes and your out rule has been passed,\" he said.

The rule punishes trainers who have three medication positives within a two-year period with up to a year\'s suspension.

The two-year period began last Friday with the opening of the meet. The rule concerns only medication infractions at Oaklawn.
