The issue is about sugar .. Anne from East Aust.. said it and other have..
loding up on sugar -dextrose before race slows down fat utilization.. during
a race it gives false sugar highs then a crash low..
so i choose to feed electrolytes with a minum amount of sugar added ..as well
as sweet feed.. do feed grain.
however as some testing has shown.. ie Perf/Win (Gayle E) and ABC.. dextrose
will in small amounts will aide in the quick absorbtion of the electrolytes.

and i do mix the stuff with applesauce.. but i dont use kayro syrup like i
did b4..

i guess its most likely not a big deal..
