I don't think so. They're most likely to hang with high heart rates. Everybdy 
else is coming in with fuel-depleted horses and most are passing the checks, 
so I don't think that will be a problem.

 quick "refuel."  What do you think about that?
 And how the heck DO you get it in them??

Best given immediately after a race for quick rebound, then another dose 
another couple of hours after. 

We're now mixing it is a loose solution in plastic water bottles, with 
electrolytes. Squeeze the bottles into the back of their mouths. The 
sryinge/paste idea is not so hot.
