lol, as was I. I do seem to remember Tiznow's trainer saying he gave him a shot of vodka to calm his nerves before training.
I remember when Tizzy won the second BC Classic, my friends and I did a toast to him that was some nasty vodka.

This story is on the front page of CNN.com and ESPN.com! Way to go publicity!

I'm sure Gin Talking and Vodka Talking would have something to say about this.

Seriously, there's a huge difference between drinking it like Tiznow and having it injected into the bloodstream. The trainer sounds like a ghoul.

I agree, why not just use a shot glass?

For some reason, I have the feeling that we'll be drinking it out of a shot glass down at GP... no injections for me please!

Maybe the vet is a Toby Keith fan and believes the song "Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses" and couldn't find any beer?

Does the article say how much vodka was injected? Since a horse typically weighs 4 or 5 times more than a human, the dosages and effects would be much different.

"There's no truth to the rumor that Tiznow prefers his vodka in a Cosmopolitan."

I doubt a shot of vodka that a horse drinks will do much harm..injecting it straight to the bloodstream is another story. That is uncalled for....
