Of course, if more trainers bought into this, Roman (and his dosage), and others, would get even less attention than presently.

What's next for you, Steve, exploding the 'doesn't like to run behind/between horses myth'? Or 'doesn't like being inside'?

Yep those African long distance runners sure could be amazing sprinter like the Jamaicans if they just trained differently.. Maybe Trackus could help one to run 10f's instead of sprinting...

You can't really believe the drivel above? Sure conditioning matters and can lengthen a horse but I guess Curlin could have been the same horse at 6f's or for that matter a turf star with a different training regiment? Imagine this folks Groovy at 12f's all because he ran up a few hills in Md. for a season...

Fatty stick to handicapping winners, apparently they fertilized the lawn at Prospect Park and the nitrates got into your bloodstream.. You test positive again?
