Why do people say they have to "pee like a race horse"?

Question

Why do race horses have to pee so bad?

Answer 1

people say that because racehorses run fast so they have to pee at the speed at which a racehorse runs

Answer 2

After a race as part of the drug test, horses are trained to pee when they hear the vet whistle.  I think the expression came about because horses are trained not to pee until after the race.  By that time, they really really need to go.  People say they have to pee like a race horse when they really really need to go.

Answer 6

Most Race Horses today race on the medication LASIX. It is a diuretic that soon after it is administered by the vet, the horse will urinate quite a lot !!! Thus , the term , PEE like a Race Horse.

Answer 7

Cuz after a race TB's have to pee since they can't stop and do it on a track....and they pee a lot....what horse doesn't?

Answer 8

That expression preceded lasix.

Here is my best guess;

Race horses are athletes which train hard and sweat a lot more and thus drink more and thus pee more.

I wonder if horses say to each other, "man I had to pee like lance armstrong"

P.S. horses do pee a lot
