Is Makybe Diva on the 'roids?

[Fire Storm]

Reasonable question. I mean, if bodybuilders are using horse 'roids, ya'd have to think the horses are usin em.

Hardly. Racing isn't all about muscle tone. She is a fantastic horse, good conformity, amazing runner. Simple as that.
They wouldn't waste their time even trying to use steroids.

Yep. So is Pavlich, Judd, Cousins, Tredrea and J. Brown.

you dockers think everyone is one roids. first you took delight in declaring Jakovich as the "roids king" now a legendary horse, both had big hearts and all their triumphs achieved by their natural abilities and their heart and soul

How can you be so sure of that? If Olympic atheletes can cheat with ease, why not horses?

Chances are they're all taking steroids, just undetected as yet.

When asked, dad always says Lee Freedman is the best trainer, because he has the "best chemicals." Might be true, might not. One of life's mysteries.

Neigh , but I hear she gives those oats a workout.

 

[The Dice Man]

Like I said in another thread.. Ben Johnson was more impressive.

 

[Tigger]

Freedman has form

If you took the time to read my post instead of allowing your prejudice for the Dockers cloud your reasoning, you would have seen that I said Pavlich as well! Hmmm, now do you think I was being serious or having a go?

No way. You would have heard about it if she was. The stewards test the horses every single time that they are in a race.

Pathetic excuse all because the horse that you picked didn't win.

I know a few trainers of race-horses and I'll tell you that they are all on the same playing field cause they are all on roids at one point or another.

It's the same in humans as long as there is a masking agent or a new undetectable or un-banned drug they'll be on it.

It's part and parcel, but there is no way that Makybe Diva has any distinct advantage even if she was roided up. She is still a champion.

Steroids assist geldings, not mares.

In fact, since steroid restrictions were introduced 10 years ago, mares have won 5 Melb Cups. Prior to that, geldings had won 17 of the past 20 cups.

Both looked like each other.

Your an idiot. Why?

1. Drug tests. Horses can be drug tested as well you know
2. Have you seen the size of her? She is big, but she does not have any monstrous characterisitcs that would suggest she is on steroids. She does not stand out in terms of size when compared to other horses
3. No way she would win all the accolades she has if she was suspect

 

[PAFC2004]

As soon as someone (or a horse) performs very well, everyone has to question them.
Get over it. Did we lose a bit of money did we fire storm?

 

[Fire Storm]

I don't bet.


Gambling is for the weak.

I vote yes.

What a scandal that would be!!!! Chances are it will appear in the Hun now.
