What Does Jerry Brown Know The Rest Of Us Don't....

On his list he's said he believes that TCO2 levels well below the established illegal threshold moves horses up lengths and is performance-enhancing.

He's said he wants TCO2 levels published and public for every horse, every race, so one can identify the average levels for individual trainers (to identify "move-up" trainers).

He thinks that the currently established world-wide TCO2 overage levels should be lowered markedly.

I'd love to see that happen. To protect themselves from countersuits they have to set the threshold to be above the levels that any horse could ever possibly reach naturally. It wouldn't take a rocket scientist to figure things out if you are seeing a trainer consistently move up the TCO2 levels of their newly acquired horses.

The TG guy has had tests done to find out what the HIGHEST natural TCO2 level is within a horse, I think he said it was 37 whatevers....There was a horse in California as recently as last year that had like 62 whatevers, or something.

He has talked about that on the board. I am not 100% sure on those above numbers, but I think they are close...

That's where the threshold is now in all countries that test.

Brown thinks that threshold should be lowered. It most likely won't be (based upon the past 20 years of TCO2 knowledge and experience testing), so he's out to expose the trainers who he thinks are "cheating" by having higher TCO2 levels than other trainers, but who are below the currently established legal limit.

LOL - no he hasn't. There's 25 years of detailed research publically available regarding TCO2 in the horse business on google. The guy sells fugures for a living.

Ok, well then he is educated within the research that has been done that he knows the top level that a thoroughbred can produce, on its own
