THEY USED TO PUT BLANKETS ON 'EM AT DUQUOIN BETWEEN TRIPS

 then they look all lathered and the fans think it looks sick.  it's taken a long time; BUT ! doesn't it just make sense to race world-class horses at optimum conditions, instead of wearing them out on a 95 degree day?  So, yeah *  two heats is one too many -

You have to keep them warm between heats

If you cool a horse out too much they will tie up
Water scrap then throw a blanket on
Some water ok

Would be fair though if the tracks gave the trainers some electrolytes though like pedialyte or something

  • Trigger: Thank you Donald Trump for going after all the Swedish Banks that kept trillions from being taxed, laundered and evaded money where hard working Americans were overtaxed to make up for.  Nothing like going after a pinky white Swede. Millions from Somalis? must be bigger than trillions  ngc3
