<<These strips are good for the health of the horse ->>>

Sid,

<<The resulting vacuum in the lungs causes the capillaries to burst, filling the lungs with blood.>>>>

I heard similar when they introduced Lasix.

The betting world was told then that the use of Lasix would be permitted only for bleeding horses.

Today almost every race horse in the U.S. is using Lasix which leads to my question "to what bleeding contest has horse racing become today"? No wonder so many horse players become daytraders.

<<<Are you saying that horse owners should want that to happen to their valuable investments?>>>

You do not know the industry.

<<<The Flair strip prevents it, and involves no drugs whatsoever.>

Just one last thing so.I did never state that Flair strips involve drugs of any kind.

What I said was that it will be only a matter of time until someone
will be caught introducing race ability enhancing drugs. Abusing the Flair strips.

<<<... but if the racing commissions really cared about keeping horses healthy, they would mandate the use of them.>>>>>

If U.S racing commissions really cared about keeping horses healthy and competitive they would mandate Wayne Lukas to wear one as it would blend well with his red jackets.

Because Cat Chief would have won with or without.

Regards,

ED

Sid,

I watched the horse races yesterday trying to see what the flair strip looks like. I couldn't see it on any horse.

What does the flair strip look like? What color? Does it look similar to a breatheright strip? Do they stick on the horses nose similar to the BRS?

How much do they cost? Is there much of a market for this? I don't know much about horse racing, but I'd think the market is VERY limited.

I don't have a position in CNXS, but I did own it in the past. Heck, my dad wouldn't go to be without a BRS on his nose....hehehehe...my mom wouldn't let him.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

Paul
