What do you think Winstrol does? I dont think it does much of anything for a horse, if anything its just a big markup for the vet. If you pay 5 bucks for an amp and resell for 50-70 bucks thats pretty strong. If Dutrow has 70 in training and they all get 1 shot of Stanazol per month at track prices that vets hitting pretty good. You could make a very good living going around giving horses a shot of winstrol, its hard to believe a vet wouldnt recommend that shot. It wont do anything negative, very little, if any positive, and you make a killing.

The trainers that we have used do not have their horses on a steady diet of steroids (mostly for fear of some of the side effects they have observed, particularly very aggressive behavior). That being said, my understanding is that they have typically used Winstrol - as suggested in the articles noted elsewhere in this thread - when a horse has lost weight or is off its feed, sometimes both.
