I put up several links to veterinary and scientific articles on the condition and its treatment IN HORSES over a week ago, in particular that by Susan Eades titled "Equine Cardiology".

They go into some detail regarding the fact that no-one can be CERTAIN that the condition will not return under racing pressure until the horse races; and however long a horse has been 'clear' no-one can be sure the fibrillation will not recur under MAX pressure (of the sort any horse is subject to in 3-mile G1 or a race like the GN). They have other interesting points to make as well, including on the known side effects of the very drug with which Denman is known to have been treated (Quinidine sulfate, as is usual in this case). There is plenty more in the same vein online if you care to look for it.

I'm pleased to see that PN is coming round to my way of thinking, that it will take until next season to get Denman back to his best - I just wish they would accept that, and pull stumps now... However I'm also pleased to see that if he is to run he will have the services of the jockey who gets on best with him, namely Sam T
