[Janny]

Really? That’s the best Ron Merritt could do at Northville Downs? Well, a year off in Michigan will be humbling.

fuckin' sad shit.

i see there were three tbreds at turf paradise early in the year who also did the rat poison (strychnine) mambo,,but washed it down with a little caffeine too.  Suspended the shit of the trainer.

pathetic from border to border.

Is often an ingredient in western formula.

You would know wouldn't you now Sam.............. .....Who taught you this............. ..Was it Inman or Belcher or their vet.............. Sam who couldn't train a dog to bark many years ago.............. .....strychnine used to thin the blood when it produces too many RBCs and becomes heavy............ tell'em Sam.............. .you know............. ....

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.

It used to be in the good caco-copper going back a few years.

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.
