How much snake venom

[Tucumcari]

did that one get...???!!!! LAdy of Venice. Fun race. Too bad Biancone won it. TAkes the shine away.

you notice snake charmer wasn't there in the interview. I like Christina O, but that was horrible interviewing skills... everyone and i mean EVERYONE was waiting for "the question" and they tipped toed around it like a ballerina.

[Tucumcari]

I'd have just gone right for the jugular and asked if they thought there'd be a shake down tomorrow? Or so is this one clean... will there be a purse redistribution...? Enquiring minds

[bdw0617]

Great win in the Cash Call mile, so how much juice did you have to give Lady of Venice of the race?

How did she react to the juice?

What species of corbra venom work best?

they ought to take all the winnings and make them donate it to endangered species research or something

[Tucumcari]

HA! HE's gonna need the money for the lawyers....

Did anybody hear Gary Stevens say "The good fillys, they are just coiled up to strike like...." He then delayed himself for a second, gathered his thoughts and said, they are just coiled and ready to be cut lose. It was very obvious he wanted to say coiled like a snake but caught himself midsentence.

[bdw0617]

lol, I caught that

they should have just addressed the 500 pound gorilla in the room.

If they can talk about Exercise Riding meth addicts getting 30 years in prison on HRTV, then they can talk about a little reptile juice on TVG

[Sysonby]

That amazes me about TVG--even Bloodhorse, which is absolutely an industry mouthpiece, ran this story. I know the allegations might put a damper on their rah rah gamble til you drop stuff but it didn't deserve even a mention when someone under this kind of cloud wins a million dollar race?

Nonetheless, Biancome has only been charged with using snake venom, not proven guilty. As much as we highly doubt his innocence, it's still better to reserve judgment until after an official decision. Then let him have it, along with a one way ticket to France.

It really doesnt matter CAM, he had the shit in his barn. Its illegal to have any injectible in the barn unless its being administered by a vet. You know the rules, especially a nerve blocking agent. The guy shouldnt be able to enter another horse, period.

Seems like the jockeys would want to know about trainers doing nerveblocking treatments and would then pick mounts accordingly.....I would not want to ride a horse that had treatments to it's nerves. Seems like a recipe for a major catastrophe not to mention a big ole lawsuit on the trainer by any jockeys injured ina misshap.

look at what hapened at Colonial yesterday. Horse was running and litararly broke down ON THE GRASS

poor anna N.. she was doing real good too. she can't buy a break (no pun intended)

[CA Michael]

foggytrip, you're right. I forgot that important detail.

BTW, whatever happened with that lawsuit where a claiming owner in CA sued Richard Mandella for delivering to him a horse who had been heal nerved by him? Mandella has never denied doing it.

[Foggytrip]

Kind of went under the rug didnt it? Mr Mandella to owner....One small oversight is we nerved the horse because he couldnt walk

[halo]

Heaven forbid we let the facts get in the way of sensationalism.
