1) There are three arms to the coagulation cascade
  a) The liver dependent factors of which Warfarin or Coumadin are part of.
  b) The blood vessel or endothelial factors of which Warfarin or Coumidin are not involved with for the most part.
  c) The platelets which are involved in clot formation (Aspirin alters platelets so they will never work for the life of the platelet)

The best use of this drug being discussed is to avoid making clot in the horses lungs at all cost, not limiting bleeding, but to thin the horses blood in the lungs to a point where the air spaces or alveoli and small blood vessels and red cells in the lungs can pass the most oxygen to be delivered to the horses body.

Red Blood Cell clots formed block the number of potential air spaces in the lungs or limit the amount of oxygen a horse can potentially transport throughout the body and use to run.  It\'s all about avoiding shunt or A-V mismatch....

Bigger shame is the horse\'s namesake never having seen the \"one\" worthy of his name.....

It makes you wonder what got the police interested enough to cross that line and file criminal charges.  I used to think the authorities thought the cost of bringing these to trial didn\'t yield enough to justify the risk so what was so special about this when other trainers have been caught with syringes laced with Cobra venom and worse.....why now???

And with the money these \"pay for friends\" get, it is difficult to argue with them.

You haven\'t had full sheets at Laurel for about a year because when you added Laurel to the early simulcast books Cookie sells, it made no sense to pay $25 for a stand alone track which now came in the Thoroquick book of 4 or 5 tracks for $40. .

They do a decent TGH business on the weekends but strangely enough Rags outsells TGH by multiples at Laurel and Pimlico.  I have been buying simulcast books at Laurel for years which are always available but Rags stuff sells out most days.  It makes no sense at all to me as the products are so different.  Seems some guys pass on a Kleenex to blow their nose if they were raised on cheaper tissues 30 years ago.

Did you guys offer refund on this cancellation of the 9th for products purchased for a race not run?

This thread is far more informative and entertaining than any episode of Jockey\'s could ever be.  Perhaps a reality series sequel that exceeds the drama of the great summer Delmar/Saratoga contest of years past would be great summer TV.  I would call it \"Rags vs Riches\" for the pilot and see where it goes.......If Jockey\'s does any ratings at all this idea would dwarf the competition by a Secretariat Belmont.

Hopefully your laughing....

Did Beamon bounce after 29\' 6\'\'?

Jon White\'s hype was too much for POTN to carry 1 3/16 miles.......or the dirt X 2 from poly = < dirt from poly X 1.

Either way one day in the future a price may be had after a LONG rest on this one.  Sitting in the grandstand boxes on the first turn he was about 5th around the turn and went for the gas only to find Gomez found none....a long rest is in order which means Zayat will have him in NY

So did MTB get somewhere in the 0-2 range for his number in the Derby?.....sorry if it\'s hidden here in the thread but can\'t find it

Any chance the TGH pattern for Nowhere to Hide is available for those who purchased the special Derby/Oaks package?

First the cash cow P6 bet loses what appears to be over a 100K with the guaranteed 500K in the pool this past Saturday followed this inability to fill a Thursday 8 race card.

Here is another example of poly revolt which initially was quietly voiced by the progressively lowering of total handle from disinterested players now trainers and owners are following suit by just saying \"No\" to the garbage gallop followed by last quarter sprints at all distances.

Maybe if trainers and owners keep running their horses on dirt and turf elsewhere,   So Cal tracks will rip up this Cushion crap and Pro-ride puddles before the real estate moguls do it for them as they turn these race tracks into K Marts and condos.

The data is in......players don\'t bet \'em, horses don\'t really run on\'em, trainers don\'t train on \'em and owners don\'t want to run horses at tracks that maintain them.  

How much do they have to lose before they give in to the obvious...if the public wanted quarter horse racing over 8-10 furlong distances Los Al would be Churchill Downs.

I was trying to use the new product which apparently is being unveiled today free of charge hence I do not want to seem ungrateful to be enjoying the menu as displayed.  I am however at a loss to download FG as a track available and somehow ended up with the \"analysis\" selections rather than the thoroquick version of the sheets.

This afternoon it came in the minithoroquick version which I am not intelligent enough to spatially convert to the other comprehensive data of the larger version.  Is FG not available as part of a book today or did I just manage somehow to find a way to ruin a free lunch given graciously by the hosts?

Thanks for the effort in any case....

Legend has it that TAP became mortal after a very public 2 person breakfast with a certain NYRA racing exec shortly after the Eclipse award he received during a year he sat out for a medication positive he fought tooth and nail to avoid before agreeing to the suspension.

  Choosing to sit out days when the racing calendar was barren of meaningful competition brought him less publicity than he would have received in May but his reputation was tarnished while his numbers fell to levels associated with a good rather than a \"super\" trainer.A sloppy procaine PCN positive at 18 days of known delivery to WAW (recommended 15 day to safely clear horse) is simply more evidence of the pattern that caused the racing industry to treat him as a known cheater who has never really served a suspension worthy of his actions.

Even OJ eventually found himself on the wrong side of a hearing table.  It is only a matter of time before TAP finds that billable hours may have paid his way out of previous trouble but \"A Change Is Gonna Come\" one day.

And if more of us could actually bet these tracks we might actually care.
