Totally acceptable yoke in this pic. If you imagined the horse standing the strap wouldnt be near his knees. Yes, you can tighten the neck strap which won't affect the length of the strap running...

I remember the first time I had ever heard his name, was 1982 and my first summer at the track. I watched 3 horses collapse and die during the first 2 weeks at the meet, all in front of me being...

Jogging is trotting, as far as how fast, just depends on the horse! As a rider, I would try and get the horse to use himself correctly from behind and not let the horses get on the forehand. Of...

I started at the racetrack right before my 18th birthday, shared a house with Julie Krone that summer in A.C. Learned to gallop that summer and also rubbed a few. I came from a H/J background so...

Also pedigree will play a part...Horses from sprinters, turf horses, distance horses, etc.

I bought a lovely filly that was bred to go long on the grass... former owner ran her twice sprinting on...

We will be up there next week... really looking forward to it!

Leverage also plays a role... it's much easier to pull a horse up with your irons jacked up... the quarter horse jocks take it to an even "higher" level. Not to mention the thrust you can get with...

The $1 donation sounds like a great idea, however, most races dont have entry fees.

I love the old "war" horses... I have one myself.. check out my bay on my profile.. he is 13 and ran 104 times... they remind me of each other... gotta love them! Congrats and best of luck with him!

Yes, Tommy Creel was Gill's former racing manager...

I just wanted to add that my husband was at Gill's former farm for a day, and witnessed 25 horses layed down for the Llewellen surgery. ...

You also need a stallion certificate when you register... and since it is all done via live cover, I dont really see how it could be done...but I guess there is always a chance that there is someone...

Yes, that would be the one, apologize for my spelling...

He was notorious for running horses days apart, usually on the raise... they would never even leave the barn to train... just hack in the...

Anyone remember Oscar Barrerra?

I agree Sleepy, I've seen it done, and done succesfully... I have also witnessed a horse running during the day at Laurel and then back at night at Charles Town.

Gosh Lori... since when did electrolytes become a drug?

I'll be looking for you in the winners circle... since you are the only trainer out there with a clue....

Yes, I knew that...LOL... there are some pics of Grady in my profile!

Dick, from what I've witnessed (older horses recieving lasix, I have one that ran 104 times) I'm not seeing liver damage... he is in perfect health, as well as others I have been around.

From what...

If I am going to work a horse in the morning that I know bleeds, I will give lasix.. usually not the full dose he would get in the afternoon though, it would depend on how far we are working... I've...

I dont think it's unreasonable for a horse to get lasix in the a.m... just as an added measure to protect them. It's usually not worth the risk of having them bleed in the morning to go without.
...

I've already listed this horse, but going to bump him back up anyway...

Greatsilverfleet... he was a nice horse, ran in the Pimlico Special with Pistols and Roses... last known to be in Canada...

Yep, amazing how as we get older those stupid people start wearing neon signs...

Ruffles and Ridges... he finished a bad 6th today... look for his trainer to run him back for a nickle... Keep him on your radar if possible...

lori, I really want to know where you raced... How in the world does a trainer make a living off of his day rate? (I'm talking about trainers that have to hire grooms, hotwalkers and excersise...

I galloped for 25 yrs, and also rode races for a few of those years...

I feel extremely lucky that I've only broken one bone, and was only taken away in an ambulance once...(had a horse fall while...

There is a nice horse running today at Suffolk that we used to have, I'm glad this rule is in effect, he keeps going down the ladder, hopefully he will end up in a good place when he's finished.

I'm glad he went to a good place...he was a very cool horse!
