Pedigree Query

Nuclear scans are used in conjunction with x rays.......its part of the process to diagnose lameness and injury. Something may not be definitive in an x ray and then a nuclear scan is done to see what else is going on. The reverse is also true. Usually the process starts with the trainer and the vet...

Beholder did not bleed at all. Fact.

http://www.chrb.ca.gov/misc_docs/clenbuterol_2012_memo.pdf So the californian board, has decided to step in against glenbuterol. Another muscle creating stuff out. Looking for results: steroids out, glenbuterol out, bute level reduced. This is gooiing the right direction. Clenbuteral.....and it can...

The main reason there have been no Triple Crown winners in the US for so long is indeed breeding. It doesn't have anything to do with a stallion so far back in the pedigree it means nothing, however. If you breed for a 2 year old, you get a 2 year old. The emphasis is on get rich quick buyers. Get ...

Most all of the trainers dont like synth tracks, because their tb sustained a high degree of injuries. The trainers that do like synth tracks, are fortunate to have tb that like those synth tracks. You cant please every body. SA dirt track is doing great. Neil French told me the SA dirt track is th...

Whe a track has too much sand, many of our tbs slip & slide, they cant get ahold of the track. Thats when many of them sustain injuries. The track crew, has to have the right amounts of clay, sand & dirt. You do know a horses foot slips twice when it strikes the ground on the turf right? Wh...

The one quote that really struck me was from the trackvet at Finger Lakes. She said that fatalities are up from 5 yrs ago and also that she does pre-race inspections. Shouldn't she be held partially responsible for the breakdowns then? If its lower class hurt horses that are breaking down then the ...

EB: Go ahead & ask Dr. Arthur, I have know him for 40 years. He is a sly person, & has his mysterious ways. We all inherit different personalities. I am just telling it like it is. Dont forget Dr. Arthur is always right. He is also very educated and most likely the best diagnostic vet on th...

I didnt tell Dr. Arthur that i have been researching Injuries & breakdownbs for 7 years. I asked him where i could find the names of those tbs, that sustained injuries & breakdowns. The doc told me they dont want the fans to know how many tbs become injured. Thats why you dont see the racet...

Louis: a damn nice article from Dr Rick Arthur and please shut your mouth forever. http://cs.bloodhorse.com/blogs/finalturn/archive/2010/09/15/bute-not-in-racing-s-best-interet-by-dr-rick-arthur.aspx from that article: "California has had an extensive necropsy program for 20 years.

The grooms that are working for Luck, are making big $$, This is a windfall for them, as their wages are 30 years behind times. There's a lot of that going around, and not just on the backstretch. Actually if the grooms dont have a speaking part they are making 149.00 a day but they do get free mea...
