For example, one of many on this subject:
Hilarious. Did you even read this abstract before you cut and pasted it?

The study was conducted on the premise that the Thoroughbred population is homogenous (ie, all racehorses are equal). No acknowledgment of the silly "fast" horse versus "slow" horse cowboy logic you're trying to purport. According to the study, the specifics of the variable training regimens employed by horsemen influenced the likelihood of injury.

[Insert back-pedal here]

Dr Riot, you are attempting to teach a peon about something way to advanced for his brain or lack there of. You are a vet he is maybe an assist pharmacist(guessing) who parades himself as a well meaning know it all.. He is baically like Matt Damon's character Will in Good will Hunting an abusived kid who reads alot of books. Effectively just a walking talking posting cut and paste machine that attempts to reverse engine what he thinks he understands.

You are a vet. He is the guy at OTB with some nutty theory that the government killed JFK or that men never walked on the moon. Who could take him seriously a drunk?

Steve, anyone... Has anybody heard a thing about him?

The last I can find was an NTRA CC where Mike Bellows asks about him Sept 28th 2011 - where TAP said, "He's doing exceptionally well and, you know, he's just getting some time off but he's down at (JJ Crupe)'s in Ocala and he reports that the horse looks fantastic and we expect to have him back joining our stable when we get down to Florida."

Pretty amazing that a horse that showed so much at the SPA can just fall off the radar like this...

FROM WELSCH'S PLETCHER 3YO OVERVIEW ON JAN. 7:

Overdriven, who is owned by Mike Repole, remains on the farm in Ocala and may not return to the track in time to get on the Kentucky Derby trail.

“I just didn’t like the way he was moving last summer so I sent him home,” said Pletcher. “It wasn’t anything serious, nothing surgical, just some minor stuff. He still needs 30 days more on the farm and we might be a little too far behind schedule to make the Triple Crown.”
