Okay - now I am curious - what body part, exactly, crossed the finish line first?!

Good grief, what's next... :?:

I'm for it. The more horses on it may help to cut the prescription cost for men like me who expect their retirement years will be on a fixed income. :wink:

Racing horses on Viagra is a commonplace at Great Lakes Downs in Michigan. One trainer has all of his grooms get a prescription for it and then he gives it to the horses. It really peps up geldings to the point where they even attack lead ponies. Horses are also put on Equipoise as well. I saw one gelding come off the track hyped on on both Viagra and Equipoise and he was trying to mount everything in sight.

The coating on Viagra will test, so trainers soak the pills in water until the coating dissolves.

The trainer said it would take 60-90 days to get all the stuff out of his system and it took ALL of that time. What was once a hyped up stallion who had to go out in a gum twitch, now looks like a deflated scrawny gelding. It's amazing how much Equipoise will make them have such fake muscling.
