Can somebody with first hand knowledge of "the juice syndrome" come forward and explain to me the following points:
1. What defines Juice? I want to know what drug or combination of drugs is used to constitue "juice"
2. What affect does it have on the animal? (Obviously they perform better but what is the medical estimate of how it affects the horse)
3. How and when is it administered?
I am not being funny here. I here "juice" talk all thne time by experts like TGJB and Beyer and would like it explained in layman's terms.
I see the end result of the alleged juicing and completely agree that juice is playing a huge roll in the industry. Dutrow to me seemks the worst offender. In the Oaks coverage I could have puked every time he said "We didn;t really do anything with her - she's doing it all on her own"
I also have an observation to share. I think Bellamy Road and Point Given share an aweful lot of similarities in their paths. I would expect a race like Point Given's Preakness out of BR should he run at Pimlico...
Thanks in advance for your explanations
