Give him some VIAGRA!
http://msn.foxsports.com/horseracing/story/3618790Italian police have discovered a mob-linked race track where they say horses were pumped full of Viagra and other drugs to fix races, according to a Reuters report.
The illegally owned and operated track is known as "Miss Charmet." According to the report, it is located on the outskirts of Naples City, home of the Camorra, the local version of the Sicilian Mafia.
"We are able to ascertain the use of the famous (drug) Viagra to increase the performance of these horses," police commander Mario Pantano reportedly told local television.
Reports say Viagra can improve a horse's cardio-respiratory functions and its performance if taken before races.
The track and its horses are reportedly worth an estimated $6.4 million. They were seized by authorities investigating the illegal doping of horses. The investigation started in 2004, focusing in particular the illegal use of drugs and secret betting.
I'm guessing it doesn't have the same affect on a horse as it does on a man.
When I first saw the article, I was wondering how they'd run with the poles between their legs....(you know it'd have to be big - hung like a horse)
