Don’t think he is the only one that has one

SAME WITH STOCK PRODS AND VARIOUS TRANQUILIZERS AND MILD PAINKILLERS...ALO NG WITH THE BOX ASK ZOOT

[helpplease]

I do not see that owning a diagnostic instrument should be a problem.

Except it's against the rules.

[pylon]

the rules were changed awhile back in Ontario, where only vets could have black box machines....in years past trainers having  these was as numerous as walking machines...………..for Mcintosh it was probably more about saving $ than doing something nefarious

[Lance]

Was it a sofa machine or for checking bloods?

[MR.DALRAE]

THERES MORE THAN 1 AT THE FARMS NEAR POCONO

[pylon]

At that time Robinson had it all down pat and then his vet had his license revoked by the ORC and the walls started to crumble around Robinson and his sons with the barn checks.

 if that vet was RR, he is back as a licensed owner with Pat Sheppard

[mwins]

He is still a licensed vet, practicing in Ontario, working with horses.

[pylon]

to be fair, I think he just has 1 cheapie racing at Flamboro

          If you have a gas machine that means that you are tubing horses with baking soda and whatever else and are chequing how much more you can give.
That`s the reason a majority of horses are on lasix. They give you a few extra points for blood gas count.

     I am sure that Bob was not the first one with a black box, BUT in order to be close to competitive in today's world you have to resort to this kind of warfare. 

[slimshady]

Duke  ....   right on about Laxix, although I don't think a majority are on it.

Why do you think 90% of some trainers horses are on Lasix and others have none on it.
HHMMMMMM  !!!
What a joke.

I've owned 8 horses and none of them needed Lasix.
I've seen trainers with upwards of 75% of what they have racing, on it.

Bob has been a crook since the early 70's when i started in the business here in the Mi/Canada area,a true low life drug artist,he will rot in hell
