Also, from an NYT article about Michael Phelps: "[Michael Phelp's coach] Bowman owns racehorses— one of his 3-year-olds, Vanderkaay, won the Dancing Count Stakes in February— and he often sounds like a trainer of thoroughbreds when he talks about Phelps.
Asked last week how he was handling Phelps in the days before the biggest meet of his life, Bowman said, "We just basically give him a little training and try to just keep him happy."
He made no mention of treats of sugar cubes or carrots, though Bowman has been known to feed Phelps Quaker Oats for breakfast when they are at competitions. "
