I think it\'s a relevant question.  My guy has looked and looked and can\'t tell.  Anyone see him close enough to tell?

mjellish: Forgot to mention, he is a noisy galloper according to my guy.  So I think it is a very relevant question.

Hard to tell with his white blaze. Looks like it and makes sense he would. You will have to decide.

Michael D.: I don\'t know. it\'s not on here, before a workout in Baltimore.

smalltimer: He only uses the strip when he races.  Read that numerous times.

mjellish: Well, he gallops like shi* and sounds like a freight train blowing when he gallops.

But when he works he doesn\'t make that noise, so I\'m guessing when he works he wears it.  Anyone know for sure?

Just trying to find some empirical evidence one way or the other if the nasal strip helps this horse other than the connections saying they were out of the Belmont without it.  

I\'m thinking it must.

smalltimer: From ABC news Fresno, CA KFSN-TV on Mon May 19.2014
\"Some horses, like humans, wear nasal strips to assist breathing.  The colt wears the strip only during races, not training.\"

Boscar Obarra: Doesn\'t look like he was wearing anything to me, and you can hear him very loudly in that youtube vid.

From 2010, but interesting

mjellish: what youtube vid?

slewzapper: He doesn\'t appear to be wearing it in his work at Belmont.
