The new expanded Google now includes web-based bulletin boards in its database. Type in "Steve Allday,vet" and you will see at least two of the recent TG threads!

More interesting to me, however, was the thread below that is from "The Chronicle of the Horse" forum on a new product - oral Sodium Hyulauronic - developed and patented by Dr. Steven Allday!

The below link (and additional comments within the thread) indicate that these people lost track of Dr. Allday after the move to Stronach. However, the product is described as providing joint relief and in one case, enabling a "cat to scurry along like he used to do years ago" - even though the product is definitely for horses!

One of the advantages to this product (also contained in remarks on thread) is that the current sodium hylaronic solution available on the market must be administered with an injection and requires a vet...while this oral version (from our Dr. A) is oral and can be given to the horse without the vet's fee (or the vet on the premises!).

I recommend you go back to page 1 (this link starts on page 2 with the quote from "Lord Helpus") at least where you can find the originating statement from "Oldenberg Mom" on the Allday patent. And bear with the real technical explanations as you continue...there are many requests for layman's terms and they are eventually accomodated.

Since this is a legal product, and may not even be restricted on race days (though that would vary with jurisdictions) I am certainly not implying any wrongdoing in the use of it. But Dr. Allday may just be good enough to have the knowledge and skill to develop legal substances that impact on race performance. In any event, anything that eases joints and promotes cat "scurrying" or "scampering" certainly causes one to ponder the result in a race horse!

I doubt that there are 2 Steve Allday's in the racing world. So this must be the same Steve Allday who used to be a race track vet in California. That is until he was 'disinvited' (for lack of the correct word) from racetracks in that state.

He then moved his practice to Kentucky and became the vet for a small trainer (among others) who had spent decades plying his trade in the middle ranks of the business. The following year, said trainer trains the Eclipse Champion 2 year old colt AND the 2 year old filly, both of humble breeding.

Toward the end of that year, Allday is hired by Frank Stronach as his racing manager and Allday in turn hires said trainer as the private trainer for Stronach's enormous racing empire.

In the meantime, the champion colt and filly move on to other trainers (Hall of Fame trainers) who are unable to replicate their 2 year old success...

I had heard several years ago that Allday was no longer with Stronach. This must be what he has been doing since he left there."
