Captain Albano ..incredible racehorse
trained by Noel Daley.
went to the Stallion ranks....
Failed the fertility test....no surprise.
Now back racing and super!!!
very rare for a 2 year old champ to race super at 3, 4
and 5....
on hay and oats...
but it is possible....I guess.
They say the steroids, synthetic EPO derivatives and miscellaneous "Vitamins"
do ,in fact, have serious negative side effects on the
Reproductive System according to most vets in the know.
Captain Albano has always had tons of speed..
It certainly is possible that Captain Albano had
fertility issues not related to the speed factors so the
jury is out...but several have pointed even prior to
the fertility tests that this horse looked "too good to be true"
and they doubted he will be a Stallion when you factor
in Noel Daley etc etc.
But he has made plenty on the track from 2 thru 5 and
still going strong...so who cares about a few stud fees?
And maybe he did race on hay and oats..with minimal
Pre Race?
I guess there are different ways to look at it.
