[ShamWasBetter1973]

@rcschumann Sham was better than Forego,Secretariat,Alysheba,or Seattle Slew.

@cmf4321 you are the most arrogant piece of human balls sweat to ever walk through the grandstand at Saratoga.Even the jockeys are amazed by how small your Penis is even poor little Julie Krone has a bigger package than you.

@rcschumann Alysheba was better than Secretariat according to Chris McCarron and Jack Van Berg.

[JeffMcNeel1]

@SecretariatsSteriods your correct Secretariat was known to run with steriods in his blood.

[SecretariatsSteriods]

@rcschumann Alysheba was over rated.Broad Brush,Ferdinand,Snow Chief,Bet Twice and Forty Niner were all just as good.

[rcschumann]

@SecretariatsSteriods Exactly! Horses can win or lose with or without Lasix. Ferdinand won the Classic because he got a superb ride from the great Shoemaker and beat Alysheba by a nose. But again, Alysheba won the Woodward Stakes without Lasix - I think it was his best performance.

[SecretariatsSteriods]

@rcschumann Alysheba lost to Ferdinanad in the breeders cup as well as to Bet Twice in the Pimlico special while racing without Lasix.

[rcschumann]

@SecretariatsSteriods But Alysheba also ran in the 1988 Woodward Stakes without Lasix and won it, setting a track record against strong competition. So Lasix doesn't affect the performance - it depends on the form of the horse on the day, and Alysheba was one of the greats.

[SecretariatsSteriods]

@rcschumann Alysheba ran without Lasix in the 1987 Belmont and never got a call.Sunday Silence ran without Lasix in the 1989 Belmont and was beaten 20 lengths by Easy Goer and his trainer Shug who never used drugs on his horses.Spectacular Bid ran without drugs in the 1979 Belmont and stopped like he was shot by Lee Harvey Oswald while on the brink of the triple crown.His trainer "Bud" Delp was caught using Cocaine and other illegal drugs with his jockey Ronnie Franklin.

[rcschumann]

@SecretariatsSteriods Alysheba also won the G1 Woodward Stakes without drugs, his trainer wanting to prove a point that this horse didn't need Lasix or anything else - that was arguably his best performance against a strong field, and he set a track record. Yes, Lava Man and The Tin Man ran badly in the Dubai World Cup, but SEVEN others won this race, which shows that great US horses don't need meds to win major races.
