Sheepskin that goes on either side of a bridle....sort of a blinker effect from them. Blocks some peripheral vision but not as much as blinkers.

Let me say something because this is how these things start....the Stewards said he couldn't wear the nasal strip. Not NYRA. One of the Stewards is a NYRA employee. The other two are not.

I don't have an opinion either way. I just thought maybe I could nip this one in the bud. NYRA did not ban the nasal strip.

The article said nyra banned them at the discretion of the stewards.

It's like a concerted effort to kill horse racing everywhere right now...

It was. It was put to bed in 1999, and I can't recall anyone ever complaining about it before now.

Only on message boards....

This has been in place since 1999. How exactly is this a concerted effort to kill racing now?

It was a general assessment, not indicative solely on the nasal strip ban...

CHRB pushing for a an O'Neill ban/punishment with the current focus of the outside world squarely on him and horse racing. They could have waitied till this TC stuff blows over, but they chose not to.

The NYRA political problems currently going on.

The Lasix issue being pushed through.

Want me to keep going?

so, what, was cali supposed to not bother with the case since o'neill won the derby? surely you don't think things should be ignored because of the timing? he's a repeat offender, if it gives racing a bad name, perhaps they should re-consider the laxity of rules that allow repeat offenders to keep on doing what they do. does it suck for racing, absolutely. but whose fault is it?

He's 1000% correct. They couldn't wait another 2 weeks before dishing out the punishment? It was a charge on something that happened 2 years ago for crying out loud. No one is saying make it go away, but it surely didn't have to be addressed before the Belmont.

It seems to me that the arbitrary ban in NY on nasal strips should be lifted now. I am going to write my state senator and ask that the ban be lifted before the Belmont Stakes.

Here's the website for the NYSRB...contact info is on the right

It was my understanding that this hearing was already scheduled pre-derby- if thats the case, they shouldnt have changed it just because he won.
Im more concerned that this has dragged on as long as it has.

Don't you know that NYRA is responsible for every wrong in NY racing?
