You
might be interested to know that Wave's tactical nutritional protocol that day
owed a great deal to Bill Proctor's work, and that his experiments proved to
be valid in Wave's case. Those facts, which you can provide, might be more
interesting to a few on this list interested in winning a PanAm some day.
Eh?
Wait! I thought Bill and Smokey were totally debunked...what did I
miss? I remember the bet, I remember someone going out to see the famous
"Smokey" and I remember that it was all proven to be smoke (pardon the pun) and
mirrors....no?
Tom in the studies that you cite weren't these horses fed exclusively beet
pulp and nothing else? Or what was the ration that they were given?
I would think studies that go to an extreme end would most likely provide
extreme results. Kind of like making lab rats inhale cigarette smoke 24/7
don't you think?
I'm open to new information, so I'm curious as to what the horses in your
study paper were fed. I tried to figure it out but the words were too big
<g>.
I agree completely on the e-lyte subject. I've rarely syringed lytes,
do feed them in mashes during rides though. But then, I'm not a winner,
I'm *just* a finisher.
