Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Commentary Description
This Comment addresses the prominence of horse racing in California and the resulting tendency of some trainers to administer performance enhancing drugs to race horses. Some have advocated banning the use of medications for race horses all together. The author argues that such a ban is not the best solution. More effective means are available to curb the use of illegal drugs in racing. The author suggests more accurate drug testing programs and increasing the penalties for those who are caught drugging race horses.
