You folks have made my day and given me a great chuckle. I went to Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine with \"White Mercedes\" or as we knew him Steve \"Know it Allday\". He could not keep is mouth shut at that time either. I was a practicing Equine Veterinarian for 17 years and since change vocations. One of my new current clients in the High Technology Industry has become a big player in the TB Racing Industry........it made me wonder what happened to good ole Steve. I did a google search and came up with your comments. Steve was a little above average academically in Vet School but very driven and had a big ego. You do not have to be an A+ student to be successful at anything and being driven is a good thing. Too bad Steve funneled that effort to being a \"syringe for hire\" instead of something you did not have to constantly look over your shoulder. I am not \"warm and fuzzy\" about horses but do feel the \"good ones\" should be taken care of properly and admired  so it is so hard to breed, raise and train one to be successful and not fall to injury or death. Others that are not so good have a place either in another dicipline, a pet or as dog food. I guess anytime a lot of money is involved the industry is always very vunerable to methods less than honest. We see the same types of \"things\" in the \"show\" horse industry. I always thought our practice was very leading edge in our knowledge and methods of practrice/treatment. However, I had trainers ask me about pharmaceuticals I never heard of or could even find in the literature.............nor did I care to know more.

I think I am better off that ole Steve and I can sleep at nite.

Happy Trails!
