I'm sure there are guys who have their own and do it a few days before the race.

I hate to break it to you but none of that is going to move a horse up as much as these guys do in two to three weeks. So you move a tendon temp down (temporarily) to 30 degrees, big deal. You still have to eliminate the cause of that. If you do that then bring the tendon down to 30 degrees daily for a month you can do it. That's why standing horses in a snow bank for a couple months heals a lot of leg issues. But if you haven't determined the cause of those ailments and done something to eliminate or prevent that your pissin down your leg.
