Here is the link http://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/specialseries/2017/04/sports-doping-endless-chase-170413073512026.html It is a 2-part documentry I have NO problem naming trainers like Fabrice Souloy (cobalt) or Ake Svanstedt...
Just wondering if there is a limit to monte races at a certain age for riders? I cannot find any information on why someone like Jean Michel Bazire (he of 17 Sulky D'ors) would hang up the boots and remain sulky only
Norway Trotting has shown some real courage and handed down a suspension worthy of the crime (doping) to French Trainer. Hopefully Sweden will also suspend Fabrice Souloy ? However ? IF they simply allow "trainership" to shift on "paper" to his...
Most drugs get "mixed" into a "cocktail" of general performance drugs that are LEGALLY used 24-72 hours BEFORE the race in that quest to "make the horse FEEL better" (race better) with a veterinarians help as part of THEIR training "skills" And...
Well Dad ( John DuCHARME ) did ( he is 90 now ) drive... It wasn't very often. The most interesting part to the European readers is the horse ( Richie Prospect ) who was named after ME. But more important finished 2nd to both Nevele Pride and...
This race was very exciting, but a heartbreak as well. It hurts when circumstances beat your horse, and you can't do ANYTHING about it !! QUICK WORK was NOT a easy gate horse. And getting him "out" and thru the first turn was always a...
Sebastian Coe, or at least someone like him to grab this issue of PED's by the horns, and wrestle it to the ground ? If he didn't already have a job ? I would say HIRE him ! ...
HIPA - Health Information Privacy Act. Does Europe have such a rule ? I don't know ? Horses are considered AGRICULTURAL PROPERTY, not any different than a cow, pig, or chicken. They can be bought, sold, and even "slaughtered" purely on the...
This concerns a filly CIAMPINO (speedy crown - candor's lady) that Dad trained for Jim Harrison. Dad got 1/2 of this filly for "training" her, and actually drove her on the PA Sires (fair) circuit. Jim sold (exported) her to GERMANY at the end...
Worlds biggest(?) trot race on at Vincennes, Paris Sunday night our time. Hopefully doesn't get moved to Sky 2 :D:D . As always some awesome video preludes done by the French media on Youtube are available. Bold Eagle has question marks over him...
Lemon Dra seemed to just disapear ? And that happened YEARS ago. I read he was a mean as Nevele Pride ? so the kidnappers might have just shot him ? But the kidnapping the "bombshell" was last year ? Any word ? R DuCHARME
The dam ( First Dance) of one of our horses (Quick Work who raced in europe) had a foal (filly) exported to russia. Is there any info available about russian trotting ? Richard DuCHARME
I realize of course he sends THOUSANDS of such "autographed" ( auto-pen I am sure) photos every year. But still he sent one to my Dad (at my request) and I am grateful I am sure I would get something similar if I wrote to ABBA ? lol Still,...
Imagine that ? Who would have thought such a thing ? https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-cup/2018/06/21/fifa-refuse-reveal-russia-drug-test-numbers-following-hostss/ Nobody "cheats" in sports, do they ? Certainly NOT in Horse Racing ? That...
Or at least the last foal (alive) in the USA. There "might" be some in SWEDEN ? If anyone knows ? CROWNTRON of course being the sire of QUEEN L. Won won, and was 3rd in Prix de Amerique I think it is a horse named CROWNMINISTER (EE915) ? ...
I would like to obtain a "frame able" copy of a article that appeared after our 1975 trip to Sovalla. The day AFTER the elitlopp one of the swedish papers declared QUICK WORK the "moral" victor, after he won his elimination, and finished a...
