Check out Bloodhorse article on Jocks insurance. www.bloodhorse.com


\"The bill also includes a federal prohibition against entering horses into races that have been administered anabolic steroids of any kind. Steroids cause dramatic muscle mass increases in horses, which can damage ligaments that weaken a horse\'s foundation. Whitfield said the provision was included to improve racing safety and reduce the number of catastrophic accidents that happen on the track\"


This bill was about covering jocks insurance and look what found it\'s way in.All the major barns are steroid city, WOW!!

This is sounding a lot more interesting out in CALI as compared to hearing nothing like this on the east coast.

\"Every trainer who has gone into the detention barn has had their horses drop in TCO2 levels,\" Arthur said, \"and this includes the trainers who said they have no idea how the substance got into the horse\'s system.\"

You know, the J.J. Graci Internet radio show (Attheracesandbeyond) has Dr. Allday on as a guest about once a week. If you\'ve ever listened to the show, you know that they\'ll take callers at any time, even in the middle of interviews with guests. Calling in to ask Dr. Allday a few pointed questions won\'t accomplish anything, but it might be interesting to hear the answers...on second thought, it would probably just be depressing...

Just some questions.



Wasn\'t Allday the vet attending to SECOND OF JUNE??


And didn\'t the horse shatter the same ankle that he injured several years ago in the FOY @ Gulfstream??


Was the Woodward the first time Allday was involved with this horse???



Good Luck,
Joe B.

SECOND OF JUNE was a White Mercedes production of a Bill Cesare film... when the colt was a 2 yr. old through to the Fountain of Youth Stakes the following year, when the poor steroided animal suffered a condylar fracture of the cannon bone. Steroids effect bone.
