I read the reports. They don't know how. They did the best they could with what they had to work with, but that is about the best I can say.

Really? Which studies specifically have you found "ambiguous"?

How could they be anything else when different conclusions are reached?
Well, you're suffering a confusion common to people who know nothing about science, and less than nothing about critical, objective thinking.

I also would submit that the testing methods were woefully flawed. The performance measurements were obviously designed by people that knew little about actual racing and how to measure performance.
And again: list which studies you are calling "flawed", and which "measurements" you think are inadequate. Be specific.

How am I uncaring? I very much care about horses like Anew. Ignorant? I know more about the actual sport of horse racing than you will ever hope to know. There is a lot more to racing than sticking them with needles. I guess I struck a nerve...oh well, too bad. Everything I said is true about the horse and the people involved, like it or not. Actions speak a lot louder than words.

I'm not playing your games.

Before anybody lectures me on how everybody loves horses, I'll offer up Anew, a horse that ran in the last race at Penn National tonight.

How about John Fort of Peachtree Stable entering his multiple graded stakes winner Mythical Power (over $800k in earnings) in a $12.5k claiming event at Hollywood Park today?

His previous start was in a Grade 2 at Churchill Downs on Derby Day last year.

The public loves a good reverse-Cinderella story.

Because you don't have a clue about lasix or studies or methods or peer review and scientific quality. You're only good at throwing out mindless and ignorant accusations and invented crap about trainers and veterinarians. You know what you know, and dammit, you're not gonna let any facts or reality change your mind.

Your games are beyond tiresome. It's not about you. It's about the horses.

No. Because he's impervious to reality. He's the typical "set my opinion first, and any facts that counter it be damned" fool that is ruining this sport.

Yeah, sure it is. I've already addressed this and you went off on a ridiculous, unfounded rant.

What the hell are you talking about? There are multiple studies out there, some in the research lab and some retroactive studies of actual racing results.

You just dissed them all as to results and methodology.

You don't have the first clue what you are talking about. You have no idea how veterinarians measured "performance".

My. god. you. are. ignorant. Yes, the dose of lasix is determined by body weight. You are making imaginary scenarios up out of thin air.

The retroactive studies using actual racing results are particularly laughable. I have a database with nearly a million races in it that can easily disprove any of the conclusions they drew from the data they had.

So you are saying an individual horse gets the same amount of lasix each time it races?

CMorioles says he can disprove 100% of any published scientific study by his personal computer database.

Please - the climate deniers and conspiracy theorists need your help desperately :tro:

That isn't what I said, and you know it. I guess you are still sore I said it isn't always about the horse, even though you know it is true. So you twist things and make others up instead of admitting your psychotic rant was totally out of line.

Nope. I said the dose is determined by body weight. Those are two different things, even keeping with your concern.

Try learning about what you are talking about, before you declare "how things are"?

No, that's exactly what you said. Here. Read your words:

I'll inform Gluck and NIH that it is worthless to do any research using actual horses races or laboratory imitation of racing conditions, because cmorioles has a database that can easily disprove any of the conclusions they draw from the data they have.

You might want to look up "psychotic". It doesn't mean how you are using it. And, again:the climate deniers need men who think like you.

It's nice to know that, throughout weeks of discussion regarding lasix, you and your buddy Rollo have absolutely refused to acknowledge any piece of evidence that even remotely negatively impacts your preformed opinions.

Good luck with that, guys.

You're the undisputed master at turning things on their heads and driving them into the ground.

What I said was that instead of allowing individual horses to receive a variable amount of lasix (3cc to 10cc), it would be more ideal to standardize the amount. That is to say, every horse would receive lasix at the same dosage--for example, 0.5mg/kg bw--every time it runs.

What you are arguing is anyone's guess.

I clearly was referencing the studies about Lasix and performance that used actual race results, nothing more. Only an idiot could stretch that to other fields.like weather. Well, an idiot or a psycho.
