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: Dear USTA, Horseplop could replace you! We're on top of issues, we're diametrically opposing and a completely balanced dynamic, and if we ever signed off it would be rock solid and done out in the open.  On our worst days - we're a much better class of dumbass and corruption than y'all!   ngc3

  • Trigger: You actually have no enemies, you go out of your way to betray your friends who stand tall for you and you fuck with people enjoying themself.  You almost never seem happy.  Why is that?
