========================================Please read EN Nov04 page 21,
Altering heart rate. The misuse of beta-blockers. If you have a stable
full of horse flesh,then one can experiment to determine the correct
dosage to be given to a horse for a desired result. Pulsing down within
one minute throughout the flat track race. Buddy


Having spent a portion of my life on a beta blocker, I hate to shoot down
such a tidy theory, but the truth is that the drug also generally keeps
one from getting the heart rate UP enough to perform any sort of
stupendous athletic feats.  Somehow I can't even begin to imagine a horse
on sufficient doses of beta blockers to impact the recovery rate being
able to run a sub-8 100-miler...
