Have you ever heard of giving a horse vodka to calm it'... - 7/15/2007 3:03:45 AM    sacback1   Posts: 168 Joined: 7/11/2007 Status: offline A vet is Nebr was charged with a crime after he was accused of giving race horses shots of vodka to calm their nerves.  The charge had something to do with the betting, not animal cruelty.

But, I do agree with some of the blokes here that it is totally insane putting them to great hardship.. Unfortunate, but who pays heed? (in reply to willyable) Post #: 5

Well, that was such a smooth way of cheating the opponent, huh? I guess they couldn't do anything with the jockey so they went for the horse! (in reply to sacback1) Post #: 7
