Post by: Janny on November 08, 2019, 12:33:02 PM
Really? That’s the best Ron Merritt could do at Northville Downs? Well, a year off in Michigan will be humbling.

I know because a trainer at the Meadows got a positive and it was from Western Formula.  She got a year also.  I bring it up because many use western formula not knowing what is in it.

Many years ago, trace amounts of strychnine were an ingredient in many horse medications! I don't know the real reason but an old timer once told me that it slightly stimulated the stomach lining increasing appetite and vitality! Back in the 1970's I used a supplement called iron, arsenic and strychnine once a week after a race and kept them in the feed tub and feeling good! Great product and seemed really good for the animals but taken off the market in the early 1980's!

We were getting the good Canadian caco with it in it up into the 90`s. It made the body kickstart rbc growth and definitely kept them in the feed tub.
