The Junky Horse

When I heard this my first thought was, I'm supposed to believe the media now? If...If the horse was drugged then who did it? With all the testing done in horse racing did someone think this the case of the East German Women's Olympic Team? Two people could profit; the owner if he thought he could evade a drug test or someone who wants that horse (owner or trainer) to be disqualified and humiliated. I personally lean towards a third party. I can't believe that someone would be so stupid. Originally Posted by the_real_Barleycorn

the trainer, owner and vet knowingly used betamethasone a legal and regulated treatment for inflammation. commonly used in training and legal. with a catch. you can't treat the horse with various regulated drugs too close to a race. for several reasons, the big two are unfair advantage and the other is part of the dark side of the sport, to run a horse that would otherwise be unable to run.

Derby winner Medina Spirit tests positive for regulated drug, trainer Bob Baffert says he'll fight it

Betamethasone is a Class C anti-inflammatory, and while it's not banned, it's regulated: a horse must be off the drug within 14 days of racing. Medina Spirit tested for more than twice the allowed amount.


they miscalculated the time it would take to drop below the accepted limit.

a horse can live 40 years. 30 years is closer to average. their racing career is about 7 years, tops. horses begin racing as a 2 year old. 3 year olds are considered in their prime. that's why the Derby is for 3 years olds only.


after the 3 year old racing season horses can be handicapped, by that they are required to carry weight. never as a 3 year old, only 4 year olds and up.





lol you don't take a horse that won 350k in stakes winnings to a glue factory. and that was 1980s purse money. double that today, at least. Originally Posted by The_Waco_Kid

Not all of them are Quarter Horses from time to time I think I've seen a few Thoroughbreds out there. They look different they are gorgeous maybe the ones I've seen were racers in their youth. This place appears to be quite Large. I've been to a few Horse Races, my father use to go bet on the races when he lived in Oklahoma it's a nice outing.
