Title: Veterinarians Brian McNamara & Roy Sadowski
Post by: Zack on September 02, 2024, 04:18:19 PM
Is Brian still practicing? I think he lived up around Goshen. I think he made more money pre-racing than he did practicing veterinarian care but who can blame him.

I heard Roy Sadowski (Mr. radium pellets) really nice guy,  I heard he passed away. Sad

I’m not sure if we’re talking about the same person. Roy was a veterinarian that specialized in radium pellets. Really nice personable fellow.

Roy was George's son. Roy was part of the famous Cornell Class of 1969. Others were Dr. Nolan, Dr. Delius. Dr. DeLeo, Dr. Madrin and Dr. Seeber.

I remember all of those guys you’re mentioning Pocono Joe was a character.  Doc Seeber and Vic who worked with him had horrible attitudes at times. I didn’t know that Roy was George’s son.

George was a pumpkin farmer/horse trainer. He had some top horses like Wico Dares and Bomber Bill.

I wonder if you remember Elmer Seiler Pocono Taurus and Pocono bagman. I know he had his own farm I think he also trained up and Honesdale.

Knew him well. The rumor about him was all his homebreds were a year older than they actually were. Those Pocono horses were tough as nails.

They sure were tuff. I heard the same thing that horse horses were a year older than the papers read.

Elmer had a very good trotter, Durbar. He was B-1 when he raced at Roosevelt.

Brian is with Warwick Equine. I think his wife is still working with him. Roy died about 10 years ago or so. He had relocated up to Greenwich and was starting to spend more time with the show horses in FL. Roy could be, and I'll use the word, "controversial" so to speak, LOL. Yes, the radium pellets, but Roy also got famous for working for Laz Barrera.

Roy was a character. Funny, real sense of humor. He knew who the good guys were and who the bad guys were. His dealings with Laz put a real stigma on him for a while. The radium pellets and all that compliance was also a bit of a lightning rod. But he was well respected with the show horse community and he was sought after in Wellington, FL. Way back, before Roy died, Mickey McNichol and I went to see one of those competitions in Wellington. As soon as people we met learned we were in the harness game they asked about Roy and Dr. Steven Allday and a few characters from the harness world. I always liked Roy and he always steered me right when asked.

Driver change George Sadovsky to Ken Heaney- gold.
The other way around- lead.
The weight difference alone was 100 pounds, and Sadovsky in the bike signaled a no try.

Yep great gig that lasix vets get. Spend 6 hours giving about 70 shots for $1400. Much better than going to a barn injecting 8 joints in an hour.
