Last race was a bit of a joke, most of those jockeys looked like amateurs the way the let the front runners get away...:S

Sam The Man probably went "doof" because he suffered a nosebleed and has been suspended for 3 months. The same is true also for Song Of Camden.

Nobody has an answer for what seems to still be a growing number of bleeders, but it is a serious problem and was partially responsible for at least one ex-trainer giving up the game when a horse that was considered to be the stable star bled like a stuck pig and was never the same again afterwards. And that was years ago, when the problem was less widespread than it is today.

the biggest lameness in the game today...november 2007 we had those lasix trials at the vaal and nothing has happened since,,,,to give 3 months for a nose bleed and 12 days for a horse found to be lame now you tell me where is the justice

Funnily (wrong word but never mind) enough we ran a horse in one of those Lasix trial races that suffered a severe nosebleed and he was never even close to being the same again afterwards.

you speak to trainers that trained in the 60s 70s 80s and even the early 90s and they will tell you that they hardly if ever saw a horse have this problem of bleeding...as an owner it is a real kick in the guts the 3mth suspension for a trickle of blood and then further more if bleeds again 6 mths so you might as well write the horse off seeing you cannot treat it for raceday the way you would like to treat it

Imo Lasix is the only way forward....agree or disagree?
