Hoss I worked with a guy like you. It only took once to fix the problem, I promised myself to not stoop to being hateful. I'm Sorry I really want to be a good person.

I wish I had seen the unedited version.

I’m not going to apologize for anything I have said in this thread. Chad keeps just saying things with no basis in fact. His being a trainer 30 years ago doesnot mean he has any idea of what is actually going on and I think that’s been shown numerous times. The post by Forefoforever that numerous people applauded was a summation of what I had been saying.

I’m a lot of things but I don’t just make stuff up. Some here do but that’s not me.

You are so over your head. Please stop.

The un edited version was that I added I'm Sorry.

Bleeding in horses has always happened.


Allan
they'll be using that same stuff here eventually if lasix is banned. then the betters won't know which ones are on it and which ones aren't.

What's your point? Let's pretend that breeding thing is true, what are you suggesting? That there's more bleeders now than ever before? What are the options in that situation?

1) Forge ahead until we get to a point where even lasix won't mitigate the severity of bleeding anymore and we see your Chicken Little 2 or 3 blood drenched horses (in a 5-horse field) being paraded in front of the grandstand

or

2) Scale back the use of lasix thereby reversing breeding trends, promoting better training/management of "true" bleeders, and encouraging research in alternative therapies that don't require raceday medication.

Well, it probably holds more water than a racehorse that gets a dose of lasix about once a week.

I think you're confused here. Horses bleed out the nose even through lasix (see the Fair Grounds Oaks last weekend). Unless you're willing to pour over the Belmont and Aqueduct charts from late 1995, you have no idea if those 4 cases were treated with lasix or not. But we do know they were bleeders...because they bled!

And we don't know if the horses that didn't bleed externally were true bleeders at all because once they allowed lasix immediately the majority of runners began receiving lasix.

Or are we to believe in your topsy-turvy world that a massive influx of out-of-state bleeders invaded NYRA tracks in September 1995 and began pummeling the non-bleeding locals to the point that the non-bleeders became bleeders (in the worst degree no less)?

Do you write Zombie Apocalypse thrillers in your spare time?

Huh? The sample size is every start in every race conducted by NYRA in 1995. That's something like 3,000-odd races and about 25,000 starts. Why would you laugh?

Maybe it's a nervous laughter cuz those big numbers have too many zeros. Well...

..they say that Minnesota is the "Land of 10,000 Lakes", so if it makes it easier for you that's about 2 and 1/2 Minnesotas worth of starters.

Remind us again, was your win percentage 7 or 9 when you were training?

Ouch! Somebody is getting lectured by a career 9% trainer who last started a horse on August 12, 1991.


But in all fairness, in that final, abbreviated year, he had a trio of stand-up stakes horses.

Indeed there were the lean years:

6-of-127
10-of-167

and there were the salad days:

8-for-33 in 1991 (8 wins in 98 days)


But why does a guy hang it up when he's got the world eating right out of his hand?

Was it Lasix???

Or... hmmmmmm, the career 8% (then) guy is suddenly winning at 24%.


Enquiring minds really do want to know...

Why not give the trainers what they want?

Let them have their Lasix.

Limit or ban the other 2000 or so drugs 30 days from race day.

And get rid of the rules that allow them to run horses under another trainer.

My main question is still basically if horse racing stays off the ballot over the next 5 years? Only 600,000 votes need to be voted on...

Just an observation, but I would actually trust a 9 percent trainer on the drug issue over a 30 percent trainer...
