If minimizing the effects of a horse's natural physical shortcomings is giving an unfair advantage we should also ban any sort of corrective surgery, whether for crooked legs or flipped palates. Bone chips? They're out of racing for good.
Horses with Lasix run faster than horses without Lasix. Period. If you like the "drug them all" to make things even, go for it.

Since when are surgery and drugs the same thing? Terrible comparison.
