Re: [RC] French study on treated horses - Truman Prevatt
The interesting thing is the speed range. In mph that's about 7.8 to 9
mph and most were treated at about 50 miles. Depending on the course -
that's not that fast. However, as you suggest the horses were
inexperienced - which I take to mean not much base.
I
promised to look for more information
on the subject. There is an interesting, nevertheless incomplete, study
made by
Celine Robert DVM on the teated horse on races of more than 120kms in France
in 1998..2000, so in total 27 races.
Quick
translation, so sorry for my English...

-from
4 to 16%
of the starters(from race to race) required treatment, not necessarily
IV.
-As
an average,
treated horses covered 84km before being stopped
-Treated
horses
ran at 13 to 15 ph with an aerage of 13.9Kph
