Re: [RC] tums - Barbara McCrary

I had the impression the writer was referring to the RIDER taking Tums, not the horse.  ??????

I have heard that race horses are sometimes "milkshaked" - eg given a froth of sodium bicarb - before a race in hopes of that being true. However it is illegal in racing now, and I think I read it was never all that effective anyway, but I'm not certain.

Have any of you on RC heard of this re Tums?

 

?tums is also a source of sodium bicarbonate which slows down the accumulation of lactic acid in your muscles.........letting you ride harder and longer woo hoo.?
