Doctor Chit Sharp at Woodbine

TDN MAGAZINE, The International Difference: Part III of A Painful Truth: "Welfare in Europe means to train the horse without any chemicals and make him race if he can face the challenge,” says France Galop's Dr. Roland Devolz. “In your country, welfare means to be allowed to use as many drugs as possible to ensure the horse will support training and race." Whose version is right? Part 3 of A Painful Truth examines North America's singular stance on medication. Download part three by clicking here.

DOCTOR CHIT (c, 3, War Front--True Gritz, by Yes It's True), a $42,000 KEESEP yearling turned $375,000 OBSMAR 2-year-old, was sixth behind State of Play (War Front) in his grassy unveiling at the Spa last July, but resurfaced over the Keeneland Poly Apr. 14 to romp home by 8 1/2 lengths with a 97 Beyer. Made the prohibitive 2-5 chalk in this somewhat surprising ship north of the border, Doctor Chit took early pressure through splits of :22.83 and :44.87, but kept on kicking in the lane to get it done by three lengths. Shakespeare's Brew (Shakespeare), who hadn't been seen since a solid debut on the turf here last August, got up for second. Lifetime Record: 3-2-0-0, $66,139.
