Big Brown and Winstrol....questions
Ok, we now know this horse is being injected with a legal steroid (winstrol) on the 15th of every month. Besides the obvious muscle growth this steroid promotes; is anyone worried about possible side effects down the road?
Does anyone on this board know how common is it to give steroids to horses as part of their normal routine? (not to heal an injury) Do all of Dutrow's horses get winstrol? Is it expensive? If he breaks down on the track do we question why steroids are legal for equine athletes in 28 of the 38 states? (too much 'manufactured' muscle for his skeleton and tendons to support.) If he wins the Triple Crown do we put an asterisk next to his name like Barry Bonds? Just asking some questions about this sport where people (some good some bad) get to make the decisions for the equine athletes.

Someone on PA claims to have used Winstrol on himself.... I started to read through some of his old posts and was going to pull out one of his best and put an * next to it - however, it only proved that Winstrol doesn't improve your posting performance.

Is the general idea that this steroid doesn't enhance the athletic performance of the horse? That it is to keep the horse's attitude right, his appetite good, and keep him in training?

The Last KD presented by steroids ?
I apologize if this article has been posted before. It is quite insightful.
An excerpt : "Winstrol, or “Winny,” an injectable version of Stanozolol, is what Roger Clemens’s trainer claims he shot into the Rocket’s tush in 1998. It is also the most popular anabolic steroid in the world of equine athletes." Jim Squires, NY Times http://therail.blogs.nytimes.com/200...instrol-derby/

When can we expect your last post not presented by Seagrams?

It was posted when it appeared three weeks ago. Squires, the former Chicago newspaperman that bred Monarchos, has been the best addition to the NYT's blog-heavy revised race coverage.

From what I understand - it probably has a better impact on geldings and fillies than colts. Trainers will tell you that if it is administered correctly - it's no more dangerous for horses than the X-ray machine at the dentist is for humans. I'm going by what trainers say - I'd obviously prefer everything be banned except hay, oats, and water.
