Collapsing after racing

[my miss storm cat]

I'm confused.

This is about Flax who is a Singapore runner.

Now I don't know anything about such things but he collapsed twice after racing.

Is he trying to tell them something? Should they be concerned? Should he be running or are there factors I'm not taking into account by wondering such things (like the weather over there, etc)...

Thoughts?

I wonder if he doesn't sweat as much as he should be. My sister's off the track TB was a non-sweater and he'd get super hot in the summers here until he was put on One AC. One AC is a supplement based on the theory of imbalance of dopamine to the nor-adrenaline/adrenaline complex. Dopamine is used first by the brain, then by the cardiovascular system and last by the sweating system. A reduction in dopamine below a certain level allows the well-known vasoconstrictive properties of the nor-adrenaline/adrenaline complex to predominate and reduce the blood carrying capacity of the peripheral vascular system to a minimum, thereby reducing the ability of the sweat glands to function properly. Makes for a very hot horse if they aren't sweating properly ...
