What stuck in my mind, about that article, is that his main racing mixture I am sure was, Diet 2000.NeilA wrote: Fri Mar 13, 2026 1:50 pm I only know what fructose is not a idea on the others
I remember reading some years back Wearside lass was given it as part of the owners system I think it was a Mr Arkenhead that raced her but your know better Mike
Akenhead, Son & Daughter, won Bourges in 2003, and I think the article would be in the Squills or Homing World year book 2004, for anybody that would be interested, and have those books. I myself haven't, but wouldn't mind a read at the article if it could somehow be reproduced on here. ?NeilA wrote: Fri Mar 13, 2026 7:31 pmIt was Albert I was thinking that earlierAlbert wrote: Fri Mar 13, 2026 6:58 pmWhat stuck in my mind, about that article, is that his main racing mixture I am sure was, Diet 2000.NeilA wrote: Fri Mar 13, 2026 1:50 pm I only know what fructose is not a idea on the others
