  1. Good Morning from Omaha,

    RED BULL???? that is all they let there horses have in Kentucky. Red Bull?

    there is a track out in Grand Island, Fonner Park, and a couple of years ago and it may have been 5

    they punished a veterinarian for doctoring up the horses with VODKA. I am not kidding. He would give the horses shots of vodka , with a needle,to keep them loose. Keep the joints lubricated and if the horse had any anxiety about running in front of people he thought it would help.

    And it really didn’t matter if the horses were under the influence or not, the jockeys were sober so the horses ran the right way around the track.

    They never said if the vodka helped or not and I never heard what happened to the vet. He “might ” be ion Kentucky.

    Better get out the breathalyzer before the race.

    Strive for excellence, nothing but your best.

    Gene
