I have to admit, this is probably the funniest thing you have posted.

When horses start racing competitively on a treadmill, and they are known to maintain form from day to day, I'll buy into the first test.

Seriously, the second is a joke, right? I've seen the studies. They have no idea how to measure performance.

Your asthma thing is ridiculous. These horses are treated for EIPH before anyone has a clue if they suffer from it or not. Nice dodge on the Frankel question though. The answer is, of course, he would race on Lasix. Would he need it? The answer is, of course, obviously not.
