Wrong again. Rehoming agencies RETRAIN horses so they can be rehomed. Rehoming in this sense ISN'T putting them in a paddock where they will get grass and have a boring life moping around in a paddock for the rest of their lives. Rehoming is RETRAINING them so they can be ridden and handled by any inexperienced person. For some reason Arcano wasn't suitable for Nairn's view of rehoming. She argues it was because of its respiratory issues. But if that was the case why couldn't it have been rehomed to just live life in a paddock? No Nairn chose to euthanise the horse and then embellish and put on internet showtime the dissection of the horse. -

Where is the evidence? The horse had had respiratory issues for a long time before Kerr got him. Are you saying the previous trainer was at fault? As for the "intel" those rumours were rife about argon but there was never any evidence found in NZ or OZ. As we have debated before argon is not easy nor cheap to get a hold of and there would be a chain of evidence relating to supply. Kerr was under pressure because of his gambling but you draw long bows my friend. The horse HAD respiratory issues BEFORE Kerr got it. As for her dissection if she wanted to prove a point why wasn't the dissection done with reputable trained people observing and under proper forensic conditions? Why weren't blood samples taken before the dissections? Were tissue samples taken during the dissection and tested or even analysed by a trained animal pathologist? All that would have proved her point well and truly. She had no evidence that the alleged lung damage wasn't caused by a pathological disease the horse had over a long period of time. In my opinion it is worse than that however even based on this assessment by you why should any credence be given to Nairn's findings? That's the biggest problem with social media implausible and outlandish conspiracies are given airtime and there is always a group willing to believe them. Nairn's evidence and conclusions fall over on numerous points. I've already posted a few as has more eloquently @Steven B - but if the argon gave Arcano the necessary lift to win how did it do it? Argon is stated by Nairn as an EPO agent (a stretch at best) yet Arcano was known to have respiratory issues prior to Kerr training him and Nairn says Argon damaged his lungs then if both those facts are correct how did Arcano win? The horse wins because her conclusions are wrong. -

FFS @the galah her "knowledge" is BS. If you are not anti-racing then she should "irritate" the hell out of you. -
thats a chief type of reply. Where someone says i have i said something,in this case your comments makes me uncomfortable,when i have never said that. so comment away as much as you like . My analysis of your comments is you come across as intolerant of what shes doing and saying.Like you think shes got just enough knowledge to irritate you. you asked for proof that arcano was fridge gased by m kerr.. I know that seems to be a constant in many of your posts. but heres the thing as i posted a while back on this topic.. M kerr was rumoured to be doing that,the horse made what many thought was a remarkable turnaround in form within just weeks of m kerr getting it to win easily at addington,then the said horse dropped out next start and then was retired after the next start. Hrnz at the time,had said they were taking allegations of the fridge gas seriously due to the intel they had,had also issued media releases to that effect. M kerr was known at the time to be under immense pressure through his unusual behavior at some race meetings and it was subsequently revealed he had lost millions in gambling and defrauded many people through many different means. then,to add to that, we get this nairtn lady saying she was involved in the rehoming process and after arcano was rehomed ,apparently the horse exhibited issues related to damaged lungs. Then nairn ,to apparently prove a point ,dissected the horse and displayed on her facebook page what she said were the lungs of arcano,pointing to what she said were damaged lungs and gave what she thought was the reason.i.e. treated with fridge gasing by the trainer rumoured to be fridge gasing.. now you can talk as much as you like about the things not stacking up,the lack of definitive proof. And your right,there isn't any definitive proof. nairn's conclusions are based on circumstantial evidence so need to be viewed accordingly. but despite all you have said steven b,i bet you my bottom $,that if you asked people who had knowledge ot the trainer and the horse,they would say they believed nairn. and thats how life works,rightly or wrongly,people make assuptions and draw conclusions and just have to follow their own instincts and knowldge to form their opinions. And in this case,what nairn has said seems entirely plausible to me as well.. i had thought the places like what was once saddle and stirrups, took horses with the intention of rehoming them. you appear to be saying they don't and say nairn should have retained arcano,not rehomed him. i think you know thats not how those rehoming places work. -
thanks for the update.Glad to hear the op on her eyelids went well.. Thailand very reasonably priced by the sounds of it, for that type of thing. So shes thinking about getting a tummy tuck in the future? i hope that goes well for her..
