Vet Records

[1hooper]

Every Belmont starter except the Japanese entry was sore or had inflammation on Thursday. Treated 48 hours out.

So basically our horses are still racing on bute. I knew the Japanese entry was racing clean and drug-free, as would have Rebel's Romance.

I always look at these every year. Of course, if you are playing at tracks like Hong Kong, these records are available to all bettors for every horse in every race.

U.S. racegoers might ask: why do horses in other racing jurisdictions not need drugs to remain intact? 

Why do they not need bisphosphonates like were given to Flagstaff, who is way too young to be receiving drugs for osteoporosis and fragile disintegrating bones?.

If you looked at them daily during the week, every horse in the race EXCEPT France Go de Ina also needed iv fluids or electrolytes for "mild dehydration" or "history of eiph"

I remember when the Director of Old Friends had said they often get ex racers who do not even have one "good vein" left in their bodies by which to administer necesssary medical injections to rehabilitate them and restore them to health.



Explain to me how this isn't animal cruelty.

This doesn’t surprise me as any treatment requires a “diagnosis” and much of the diagnosis is prophylactic treatment anyway. The fact that veterinarian uses an unapproved medical device on a horse (polyglycan on Hot Rod Charlie) is one thing. The fact that a vet writes it down on a treatment sheet that is turned in, reviewed by regulators, and then made public is laughable.

Half-hearted (false)  attempt at "transparency"  I guess?
