Hay there everyone!

I thought i had a pretty good thought process! I was organizing my equus
magazines and would like to point out an article that was extremely
interesting and goes with this thread. It is in issue 225, July 1996.On
page 54 titled Championship Condition, it was done at the ROC July 1995 and
features Valerie Kanavy and Cash. What was the most interesting about the
article was the lab techs that tested the blood never saw the horses or the
riders and told them at 75 miles out who was going to win the race based on
the blood test results and they were absolutely right, Great reading.
If you're gonna ride...ride hard or stay home.

Happy Trails
