Well, any opinion of this picture of a Baffert/Zayat horse taken by Ernie Belmonte?


You gotta click on the big pic to see it.

I can’t believe my eyes. I would never think a Baffert horse would be a victim of freeze fire.... Very disappointed in Baffert and the Zyatts... pic.twitter.com/f4VWwNN1Gi

Saw someone on twitter saying freeze firing like this is nothing. Want to make sure I get all sides on this.

Excerpt:

Firing dates back to the middle ages, when post-operative care would have been non-existent. Today, post-operative care for fired horses can be excellent with painkillers and sedation used to control pain and discomfort. But those who disapprove of the practice point to the fact that no research has ever concluded that firing is effective.

Firing is only one part of the whole treatment. Legs will need to settle from an injury before the operation can be performed. The post-operative care will result in enforced box rest, followed by walking in-hand for several weeks, or indeed months. Then the patient be ready for the horse-walker and then the field, to complete the rehabilitation process.

There is no getting away from the fact that the whole healing process cannot be rushed and the patient will be out of action for a minimum of a year. Opponents of firing latch on to this fact. Time is the greatest healer and there are many prominent vets who are convinced it is time that has cured the injury and not the invasive act of firing.

Someone should claim SOLOMINI for the $5,000 and send him to Old Friends.

Whatever one's opinion on the practice of pin- or freeze-firing, it is still performed fairly regularly and the instance of Solomini having a splint bone fired should not be taken as a rare, clandestine, or nefarious procedure. Note that Solomini himself has not been raced in over 4 months and has just gotten back onto the worktab only a couple of weeks ago so presumably the firing wasn't done to "keep him running"...

The great Cigar...

It's Solomini ...

He's a stakes/OC horse at this point. This is silly. You posted like 15 tweets, on about the worst example you could have possible come up with...


if he drops way down into claiming then you have something significant...

You did this shit-stirring for a bogus reason... and you put negativity out towards Ernie B, Zayat, Baffert etc...

It's annoying


get your stuff together man

take a look at someone like 'Stormin Monarchos' and make sure you know both sides of the story and then you may have something valuable.

raise your game up.
