Cobra Venom Ain't Squat Compared With

[Barry Irwin]

How about thaqt subject line, huh?

I could get a job at AOL writing those teasers.

Or maybe one at CNN. \"We\'ll have more on that in the next segment\" right after 4 consecutive Countrywide Mortgage spots. \"Home owners, need money?\"

Coba Venom has been around for many moons my friends. In some ways, horsemen and vets prefer it over surgery for nerving a heel.

But it ain\'t squat compared with venom from a particular sea snail found in the barrier reef.

We won\'t have to send Chuckles the Clown down to Australasia, because the vets at a famous Eastern vet school know all about it and are making progress on tests for it.

Oscar Barrera would have loved this stuff.

This is the kind of stuff we need to be afraid of, not the known stuff. The unknown will always plague us, because it is new and undetectable for awhile.

So we can soon expect a post from CtC, the subject of which will be \"Its
Escargot which makes TAP Go!

I resent The Clown using the name Chuckles as part of his name because I have always been fond of those jellies with fruit flavorings by the same name. Now I cannot ever think of them in the same light.

But the pills that Barry gives you...

From a handicapping perspective, I\'m not nearly as concerned about the pain blockers, though the fact is that Sneaky Peek did serve a suspension for a positive on painkillers. It is possible that Allday has found a way to get enhanced performances out of painkillers, or perhaps mask other agents, but to my mind all a painkiller can really do is enable a horse to get where its heart, lungs, muscle and blood can already take it. Without surprise, one can handicap painkillers my friends.

What I object to is Lawyer Ron performances. Situations where established levels of performance are clearly exceeded on doping and stratosphere figures result. That kind of doping involves primarily oxygen packing and secondarily lactic acid neutralization.

Steroids are the other consideration. However, you can\'t build muscle mass and think muscle mass alone will make a horse faster. With additional muscle a horse will need a bigger \"oxygen pump\" and also the stamina to resist the fatigue which will eventually set it. These are the issues handicappers need to be primarily concerned with.

Can someone get back to handicapping,I have 2 tuition payments to send out,I need a winner!!!

You invoke the ghost of Oscar.

  Everyone knows all he did was run \'em back on 2 or 3 days rest, and look menacingly at the other trainers.

 That was good enough for 5 or 10 lengths of move up, on a bad day.

 Thanks for the memories.

Glad I could be of service.

One pill makes you bigger...that would be Viagara.

One pill makes you small...that would be the pea-size of your brain. Don\'t confuse gray matter with pharmaceuticals.

[P-Dub]

It was right in front of your face.  The ROTW.

[Chuckles_the_Clown2]

...and the pills that Barry gives you, don\'t do anything at all.
