  1. horses always turned out well on race day
  2. leo trains nota lot horses now days may be about 8 horses had a good run years ago with bruce francis bred
  3. justa saying brodster
  4. still called a horse h
  5. tall poppy Richie or dark sider
  6. how true plus your post sounds like what I think of the riu
  7. was a pacer called one for his knob
  8. I am not holding my breath lol
  9. that's true globe some trainers have more horses going unsound than others too
  10. faster times on race day and harder tracks too
  11. why are so many horses breaking down like to no peoples opinion
  12. here here brodie your right on the money some are just here to stir and some are here for love of racing and to have your say and some from darkside if you don't agree with them your a ahole
  13. thanks guys on the costs of training
  14. miss quote should been any trainers
  15. ya not talkin about me???
  16. as I am a trotting guy would love to no how much it costs to get a dog trained as im thinking of getting one
  17. kotare your only trying to stir
  18. wonder if any of our leading trainers use it??
  19. can take kotare hunter back to rc too as he is on here just to be a trouble maker
  20. Doping in professional sport is a cat-and-mouse game. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) bans a performance-enhancing drug, and athletes go on the hunt to find a new one. So what if there was an undetectable performance-enhancing method? That’s the promise Halo Neuroscience is making. It has built a device that looks like a set of headphones, which sends electrical current through the scalp to stimulate certain areas of the brain. The claim is that the device helps build new neural connections as the athletes learn a skill. The company also claims to have run a small randomized-control trial, where four athletes wearing the device received electrical stimulation, while three others didn’t. The experiment reportedly showed improvement in those who wore the device. The athletes’ co-ordination was 80% better than the placebo group and their jumping force was 70% greater, according to an account on the company’s website. (The results were not published in a peer-reviewed journal.) Haloscience Companies will always claim their devices work, but there is some independent evidence in this case. University researchers have long been fascinated by transcranial direct stimulation (tDCS), which is what Halo Neuroscience’s device does. The theory is that, if you choose the right neurons and give them just the right electric jolt, you can boost or suppress what those neurons are usually doing. In a small trial of 12 untrained athletes, University of Kent researchers found that tDCS to stimulate the motor-cortex region of the brain can reduce the perception of fatigue and thus help athletes cycle for longer. A similar result was found by a group of researchers at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte when they used tDCS to stimulate the temporal cortex region of the brain. But researchers are concerned that tDCS is not yet ready for commercial use. There is evidence that misfiring of such devices or even placing the electrodes at the wrong place on the brain can have unintended consequences. Researchers in a lab tend to be careful with their use of tDCS, but that precision is not guaranteed elsewhere. So if athletes wear the device as they practice their skills, as Halo Neuroscience proposes, a movement of only a few centimeters could change what area of the athlete’s brain is receiving the stimulation. There are also no long-term studies looking at the effect of tDCS. It could be that stimulating one region causes the brain to compensate in other regions. But, when such devices can be built at home for as little as $20, and no one knows how to detect their use, there’s no stopping athletes or other enthusiasts from experimenting
  21. brodie would had a grand on at 20 dollar lol
  22. did you get a slice of that flagships??
  23. its bit sad when pay good money to get a horse trained and cannot get a good photo with your horse
  24. just crap about having photos taken on platform at addington and most owners have been around horses for years next time I have a winner there I will not be standing on the bloody thing haha
  25. whoop weeee hoooo risk won over there too think it went faster than laz
