[RC] question for Steve Shaw - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: Patti Pizzo  piz220@xxxxxxx  or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

On race day our horses got new and different electrolytes. Maybe some of the 
horses had it before, but I know that Tallymark hadn't. AND during the race 
this was mixed with molasses. Something TM had never had before. This was a 
decision made by staff. Touted as the best type of mixture. All of the riders 
were so much on board as a team that they did not want to oppose the staff on 
this. The shoeing issues were much like this. A desire to support the "plan" 
and staff.

Steve.   Do you think the horses while in Florida the horses  should/could of 
been given  this new formula of electrolytes? Do you have any idea what kind of 
electrolytes were given to these horses? That is something that we have always 
heard - do not change things on race day.  I know riders who even wear the same 
socks or underwear for years as not to change anything !  Did they also change 
their shoeing?
Thank you  Patti
