Dara just one the national title in the 100M Freestyle in 54.4 at the ripe old age of 40. Simply Incredible. :applaud: :woot: If that's not inspiring I don't know what is.

  • When I raced my standardbred race horses. We would claim them in claiming races. They were so loaded with junk that our vetrinarian would have to bleed them to let them produce fresh untainted blood. Sometimes when they were bleed their blood was like thick syrup and it did not flow. Just think of the damage that can be done to humans. George...my family was in the horse business for 3 generations...it's probably the only "sport" dirtier than cycling and bodybuilding. Can't even begin to tell you how horrible I saw people treat these beautiful creatures...my first thoroughbred (Toppers Son) came off the track as a 3 year old, we had him for 4 years before he died of cancer...
