But don't you empty your bladder before you run, and ensure you haven't eaten a meal? Pretty much the same thing. I did 2 miles today, and I'll bet I lost half a percent in dehydration (sweating).
If a horse loses 1% of it's body weight to sweating/lasix, that's 4.5 kg, that's replaceable by a few buckets of water back in the barn over the few hours post-race.

Seriously, isn't the fact that a nasal strip can do just as good a job reason enough?

That's the first time I've ever heard that as a reason
More Joyous just won the Doncaster Mile, so goodnight.
