Is he kidding? It's in the interests of the state and racing in CA to let him treat a horse by using electric shock wave therapy within 3 days of a workout? Does he care to explain why he's sending a horse out to do 4 furlongs if he's got a problem necessitating three treatments in less than three weeks? What's there to heal that wouldn't also preclude such a workout, esp. given the analgesic effects? Federal Bureau was a $1.2 million yearling. He's by Medaglia D'Oro out of Keen Pauline. I'm sure there's pressure to get him to the races, but this ain't the way. |

![]() To be fair to Freddy it was after 5 when he posted. He had to be a few sapphire’s deep by that point.

![]() That was my initial thought too, but there were no misspellings or Freddyisms, so I was confused. Not as confused as Freddy, but..

![]() Dr. Baker is also the long-time attending vet for the Baffert barn. I've been mystified how responsibility for horses in his care has gone unaddressed.

![]() Great article in the TDN a couple years ago discussing the use of ESWT to treat concussive injuries like suspensory problems, sore shins, tendonitis, and sacroiliac issues.
https://www.thoroughbreddailynews.co...rophic-injury/ Cliff Notes version - The jury is out on it's efficacy, it is painful, and horses treated this way are between 54 to 79% more likely to suffer a catastrophic breakdown per a study in Scotland - basically due to the fact that they are attempting to treat an injury or defect that compromises the horse's soundness in the first place. |
