You would think it (Atrovent) wouldn't be very good as a race day as it is far better a drying agent than bronchodialtor and takes longer to work. It is not a direct bronchodilator but inhibits or poisons the nervous system responsible for bronchoconstriction. When combined with it's ability to dry out secretions you can see why it is the drug of choice for COPD (bronchitis + emphysema) in humans. Jeff from So Cal uses another product that is very similar for special circumstances....
