Page 6 inish Line Horse Products

The Finish Line® tradition for manufacturing quality equine healthcare products began in 1979, but their history with horses dates back to the late 1890's. That is when our founder's great grandfather rode with Teddy Roosevelt and the roughriders in the Oklahoma territory. Using botanicals, herbs, and natural remedies for equine health, John Edward passed the tradition onto four generations. His son Oscar depended on his training skills to feed his family during the depression. His grandson John Casper Howe, known throughout the racing industry as JC started out as a jockey at Sportsman's Park in Illinois at just 13 years old. He was under contract as an apprentice rider for both Bootsy Hernandez and Harry Trot- seck, riding in New Orleans, Southern Florida, and the Midwest. JC began his long career of training horses at the age of 19. He won over 500 races with a modest stable and horses were his greatest love. He trained horses for www.finishlinehorse.com nearly 50 years and trained as many as 24 horses at one given time. After his retirement at the age of 62, he remained a presence at various race tracks.

John R. Howe used his family's old-time remedies and combined them with the talents of Dr. Irving Domsky, PHD, Chemistry and Nick Cinquino, Lab Technician to create Finish Line® products. Since Dr. Domsky retired, Mr. Cinquino accepted the position of Laboratory Director and Research Chemist. Nick has over 30 years of equine healthcare product formulation experience. WCEF and MEC appreciate the support of the Finish Line company and invite you to ask for Finish Line products at your feed store.
