Title: CA Steroids
Post by: firmturf on January 03, 2017, 07:42:34 AM
Would be curious to see the Thorographs for the attached 16 horse (within links). I\'m happy to put something together on these horses and the dates they received steroids for the board.

I removed horses (3) that had less than 2 starts prior to treatment:

Wonder Boy – Amescua
Pedro Cerano – Miller
Big League – Miller

Of the remaining 12 the first start after treatment resulted in:

Top: 4 (33%), Pair 3 (25%), Off 3 (25%) X 2 (16%)

Tops came from the barns of Glatt, Runco, Miller and Morey

Using Sire Profile's it's worth noting some tops could be maturity of the individual.

There is no indication horses improve as they continue racing after treatment. No Lay-2 jumps or significant improvements later for the 12 that had set a pattern pre-treatment.

Hope this helps.
