This horse has had a tendon for quite awhile. Chances of running over the CD surface? Zero

Ask the Experts / Re: IEAH buys 1/2 of IWR--Is this good for racing?

Not a fan of IEAH like most people. But it\'s good to see someone buying horses in today\'s economy.There is not a lot of money changing hands. Only on the top end.

Look, all Im saying is that nothing can make a horse perform above their ability. Nothing,I know this. I spent 5 years riding along with one of the best vets on the west coast, seven days a week. Milkshakes have been around since the 70\'s.This is not something new. I don\'t doubt that co2 levels can help a horse reach their ability.I know lasix allows a horse to breathe. Although it may help more by calming them down.Is that cheating? I can only speak for California. Cheating as you guys call it is very tough.

Every horse is post race tested for milkshakes in California. Anyone who milkshakes is just pure stupid. O\'Neil horses will now have to go to a holding barn the night before they run. Each horse will have his own security guard at the cost of ( i think ) $300 per horse. With the amount of horses that O\'Neill runs. Well, you figure it out. Not very cost affective. As for Rick Arthur. There is no DVM more honest. I was a vet assistant on the So Cal circuit for 5 years. And know Rick well. It seems to me that there is way to much time spent on cheating on this board. I can tell you that there is nothing that can make a horse perform above his talent. Only make them perform up to that talent.

Del Mar has two tracks. The morning track and the afternoon track.Few if any trainers have any idea how well their horses will run in the afternoon.(on the poly). Horses who train fantastic in the morning run horrible in the afternoon.It was interesting to watch a few horses ship from Arlington to run. Both horses had run well in Chicago. But were eased over this track at short prices.One pattern has come to the surface as the meeting winds down. Horses who have had a race over the track have been much improved.

As everyone knows. Turf racing in this country is dominated by European horses. Especially out here on the west coast. One should also take notice that these are not the best of the lot. Seldom do we see the top group horses being sold to the US. Few select Stables bring these quality horses over.(Juddmonte,Darly,etc) Some of these group horses may show up here to benefit the usage of Lasix. Most people who purchase horses from Europe want horses with conditions nw 1x etc. Hope that helps.
