For the most part the experts agree that lasix helps. To another issue on the subject of this thread. Most recently, I've been looking at GI ulcers having an effect on the overall athletic abilities in the actively training racehorse. I've searched far and wide, but have found nothing specific on th...

Bill: Wonderful reading recommendation. I don't suppose you make loans or have a copying machine?

It's either very good news, very bad news, or no news when it comes to racing. Yesterday on CNN, a segment was run on the homicide at Churchill Downs. Rather than titling the segment "homocide at CD," it was titled "the darkside of horseracing." I recall sometime back their was a very feisty convers...

Okay, gurus, I'll follow your suggestions but a new rule is that future posts have to have "elaboration" and "footnotes." You all have been confiding in each other privately for too too long. We already have one private blog on PQ. I'll take responsibility for keeping the "censorship" at bay. All yo...

Diomed: I'm in my twilight years. Not much time left. Amuse me. You should know by now that I always have my nose in a book or resource. Help out here. I live here with wannabees in VA. What are the chances I can browze the Lexington bookstores? I do travel the used book store net and have some jewe...

I think BODEMEISTER will regress. The KD has to have taken something out of him. Two weeks is a very short time to recover from that kind of a race.

PZ: I've read the darn thing numerous times. My memory is the culprit. Can't even find the car keys.

I'm reading a few other books now and I revisit Tesio in a couple of weeks. In the meantime, you all should elaborate.

Are you posting to individual horses that you have researched or are you sources in book or other forms? Me thinks this is your personal research and without something to reference, it is impossible for me to follow by just looking at a pedigree, breeder info, or dates.

Links? Resources?

Vineyridge posted: One rather interesting thing to me about Tesio is that he used Catnip, whose dam was North American and she worked REALLY well for him. He also used, IIRC, Orby whose dam was North American in the mare Navarra. I've come to believe that there was enough variation from the British ...

Lots of interesting stuff going on NY concerning safety. I came across this. The issue of lasix is being considered along with emergency claiming rules. There was a previous post on another thread with links to NY Times articles concerning older horses being run without proper preparation. http://ww...

Some time ago, I came across this power point. Although it is dedicated to how not to train sporthorses, it may provoke some thought and discussion on this thread related to racehorses.

It appears that the chief moderator (probably at the behest of Diane and few others) is coming out of her closet after a lengthy hiatus to chime in concerning unsavory characterizations and accusations. Now that the terms "ban, delete, and censor" are on the moderator table again, we all have to be ...
