I see that Disney has a movie coming out 'Secretariet'.... hmmmmm, I wonder what Disney thinks of Horses and steroids? Let's not glamorize torture, BOYCOTT Secretariet the Disney movie
Even if Eight Belles wasn't on steroids if the horses she was running against were, was the pressure on? hmmmmm
If Michael Brown couldn't take care of horses, how the hell was he supposed to take care of the folks after Katrina??????? OMG!!!
Eight Belles put down on track youtube
Eight Belles wasn't on steroids
EXCERPT:
A necropsy of Eight Belles, who was euthanized after breaking down just beyond the finish, showed that she had no pre-existing injury or ailment and was free of steroids and other drugs.
Horses on steroids same as people on steroids
EXCERPT:
Critics argue that steroids can have the same harmful side effects in horses as they do in humans and that, as in baseball, they damage the integrity of the sport. Proponents laugh off the comparisons to people and contend that steroids have rejuventative benefits.
Brittle bones and steroids
EXCERPT:
Anyone who takes steroids is at increased risk of osteoporosis and more than 80% develop some form of the disease Steroids are common, effective medications for treating many diseases, They suppress the immune system and are therefore effective in controlling diseases in which the immune system is harmful to the body's own tissue, such as with asthma, arthritis, lupus erythematosus, and some forms of kidney disease. Steroids are also commonly used to help guard against rejection following organ transplantation. However, steroids also suppress bone formation and cause the kidneys to waste calcium by blocking its absorption from the gastrointestinal tract.
Unfortunately, many of the people who must take steroids to suppress the immune system already have other risk factors for osteoporosis. An older, post-menopausal woman with arthritis already is at risk for developing osteoporosis. Steroids, while helping control the arthritis, will have a negative effect on her bone density.
Michael Brown FEMA and horses
FEMA Dir. Mike Brown fired from prior job at Horse Assoc.
Fri Sep 02, 2005 at 12:46:22 AM PDT
"An unmitigated, total fucking disaster." That's not a quote from Mike Brown, but rather, a quote describing him. And most disturbingly, it's not even a reference to his dismal performance as director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). This blunt critique was emailed to me from a regular reader who was apparently attracted to HorsesAss.org by her passion for politics and her love of Arabian horses.
I think I've told you that I'm into Arab horses. Well, for 3 years Michael Brown was hired and then fired by our IAHA, the International Arabian Horse Assoc. He was an unmitigated, total fucking disaster. I was shocked as hell when captain clueless put him in charge of FEMA a couple of years ago.
Goldy at HorsesAss's diary :: ::
He or the WH lied on the WH presser announcing him to FEMA. IAHA was never connected to the Olympic Comm, only the half Arab registry then and the governing body to the state and local Arabian horse clubs. He ruined IAHA financially so badly that we had to change the name and combine it with the Purebred registry.
I am telling you this after watching the fucking shipwreck in the Gulf. His incompetence is KILLING people.
Yes, that's right... the man responsible for directing federal relief operations in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, sharpened his emergency management skills as the "Judges and Stewards Commissioner" for the International Arabian Horses Association... a position from which he was forced to resign in the face of mounting litigation and financial disarray.
And what of that misleading White House press release?
From 1991 to 2001, Brown was the Commissioner of the International Arabian Horse Association, an international subsidiary of the national governing organization of the U.S. Olympic Committee.
I can't even begin to fact check the dates or IAHA's alleged relationship to the US Olympic Committee, because of course, the IAHA doesn't exist anymore, so there's nothing to Google. But it begs the question... how the hell did his prior job experience prepare Brown to head FEMA?
Well, judging by his agency's performance over the past few days... it didn't.
Eight Belles put down
EXCERPT:
Hillary Clinton last week put her money on Eight Belles to win the race:
"I hope that everybody will go to the derby on Saturday and place just a little money on the filly for me," Sen. Clinton told supporters in Jeffersonville, Ind., ABC News reports. "I won't be able to be there this year - my daughter is going to be there and so she has strict instructions to bet on Eight Belles."

EXCERPT:
After Failed Drug Test, Suspicions of Foul Play
Published: June 21, 2008
Two of the most outspoken critics on the use of drugs in horse racing recently had a colt of their own fail a drug test, a result that they are saying was sabotage. Larry Jones, who trained the late filly Eight Belles, and Jim Squires, the breeder of the 2001 Kentucky Derby winner Monarchos, were notified Tuesday that Stones River had tested positive for illegal levels of clenbuterol, a bronchodilator that helps burn fat and promote muscle growth, after a race June 8 at Delaware Park.
Jones trains Stones River for Squires, who races under the name Two Bucks Stable. Stones River romped to a nine-and-a-quarter-length victory in a 1-mile 70-yard allowance race, paying $7.40 for a $2 bet to win.
Jones has long called for limits on the use of steroids and race-day medications in horses, and he endured severe criticism after Eight Belles was euthanized on the track after finishing second in the Kentucky Derby. In more than 25 years of training horses, Jones had never had a violation, including any for drugs, according to the Racing Commissioners International database.
Squires, a former member of the Kentucky Racing Commission, also has a clean record and has called for more vigorous, uniform regulation of therapeutic drugs like clenbuterol, as well as for steroids. Squires has written on the subject in several articles for The New York Times.
Squires said that the positive test came amid intense scrutiny of industry practices during the recently concluded Triple Crown season, beginning with the death of Eight Belles and continuing with the acknowledgment by Rick Dutrow, the trainer of Big Brown, who won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes, that his colt had received the anabolic steroid Winstrol. These events helped spur a Congressional hearing Thursday, when members told industry leaders to clean up their sport or the federal government would.
“That a Two Bucks Stable horse in his care has become the first drug positive in his career in the highly charged atmosphere during the week of a congressional investigation focusing on drugs and safety in horse racing is highly suspicious,” Squires said in a written statement. “It reeks of a deliberate effort to impugn our credibility on the subject of drugs and damage the reputation of a highly successful trainer who has been unfairly and mistakenly blamed by a few critics outside the industry for the death of Eight Belles.”
Jones is the leading trainer at Delaware Park and is ranked No. 11 nationally with purse earnings of more than $3.1 million. Last year at Delaware Park, a small sponge was found in the nose of one of his horses in what the state police described as an attempt to fix a race. The horse, a 2-year-old filly, finished third as the 4-5 favorite.
Jones noticed mucus coming from the filly’s nose two days later. He sent her to the Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital in Lexington, Ky., and, after antibiotics failed to improve the condition, veterinarians operated and found the sponge with uniform holes stuffed in her nose. The case remains unsolved.
“I guess we’re not the most popular people in Delaware,” Jones said. “I have gotten so much hate mail after Eight Belles. I’ve been on the public record against drugs forever, as has Jim. It looks pretty obvious to me that we’ve been targeted.”
John Wayne, executive director of the Delaware Thoroughbred Racing Commission, declined to comment on what he said was a pending matter.
Brent Caldwell, a lawyer representing Jones and Squires, has asked for a copy of the all lab testing reports and investigative reports, and also that a “split sample” be taken from Stones River to an independent laboratory. Caldwell also asked for an investigation to determine who had access to Stones River on the backside in the days before the race. Squires offered the $25,200 Stones River won to supplement any investigation.
