    Great link! Thanks, George!

    wish we could clean up the whole horse industry. the drugging, the stacks, the tail cutting, soring . . .

    George, I am certainly for anything, drugs or contraptions , that make a horse work into the area of breakdown. So I'd like to know what happens with Lasix use? Without it, would race horses be running around bleeding into their lungs?

    Wow. I remember New York being a hold out for quite a while.

    I wonder what percentage of horses that have fractures are truly under 2 years old vs truly over 2 years old? I wonder if changing over to their REal birthdays would make a change?
