"Hanging around Quarter Horses, that's what
Steve Burns, the prominent doctor of veterinary
medicine, has enjoyed doing his entire life. Along
the way, Dr. Burns has made an impact in the racing
world, first by working with historic stallions
like Rocket Wrangler, Merridoc and Strawfly Special,
and later by playing a key role in helping to
perfect and popularize the embryo transfer technique
that has become so prevalent in the sport
today."
