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've always told myself that if I ever owned a horse to win a Kentucky Derby, I was gonna give it a big old double duece of Bud to swig in celebration in the Winner's Circle.

Whatever my horse didn't down, I would.


Seriously though, there have been photos of horses drinking spirits for decades.

Even if the guy was injecting a shot of vodka into an animal outweighing a human by multiple times, I'm thinking more "homeopathic medicine" than anything meant to be devious.

So is the timing of this just a coincidence?
