I can only say from former years at cheap racetracks I hate Equipoise , it makes horses stupid and addicts and is pretty much just squeezing whatever they have left in them out.
Now , I do feel that steroids when used properly can help some weaker kind horses and when I say weaker I mean one's that dont eat well , horses that are slight and some that just need a lil extra courage.
As a horse person I dont think it is to much to ask for a horse to be under a certain level steroids by the time they run , if you cant get the sucker ready to run at say the end of its last dose 30 days out then you maybe need to consider doing something else with the horse.
I have noticed that Winstrol has a way less affect on a horses mind than Equipose and it will make them eat , but so will arsnic .
We got a group of horses not too long ago from a known Equipose blasting guy , these things were so strung out and spent they never did run right , maybe we should have just blasted them with Equipoise too , but my boss doesnt really subscribe to that .
