Give it up man. You fought the good fight, but zealotry will beat reason every time.

I have nothing of any significance to add except that this is for Mr. Orioles as I am in awe of his eloquence, his stamina, his steadfastness, his persuasiveness.

How he doesn't lose it is beyond me. I would have blown my head off by now.

Has anyone actually taken the time to read the link in the NY times article which directs you to the Minutes from the KRHC meeting I think Dr Sids Comments start at Page 169 (I think). HE has the Solution to Stop Horses From Bleeding,The only thing is You might have to live in Fantasy land to Implement his ideals.

Was Just reading on the Thorograph Forum and ran accross this comment about this subject which I wanted to share with You guys:

Brief comment as requested by TGJB:

Lasix as one injection prior to a race or work has a predictably very minor and small raise in blood pH, nowhere near what milkshaking does to the blood pH. The TCO2 levels we measure, what is "over" and not, takes this small and predictable rise into consideration. It is about the same alkalynizing effect as some normal feeds and weather.

This vet is way over the line calling lasix the same as a milkshake. That's patently absurd.

And it sure sounds like this guy was involved with (exposed to) alot of cheating. But he says he was with standardbreds in the 1960's, 70's, 80's so yes, that was true 30 years ago (standardbred guys would do anything to a horse - the thoroughbred guys would follow their leads)

It's no longer 30 years ago.

Reading this guy's never ending, misguided, ridiculous, inaccurate rantings has me wanting to blow my own head off. I feel dumber for having read them.
