I don't know about anyone else, but I know, from a gambling perspective, I have no interest in handicapping a minefield where I have to guess which horses may or may not bleed or what have you.

I'll bet half of the "x" couldn't even say what the meds are, what they do and what affect they have on horses to begin with.

Exactly, it makes a hard game to play even harder from a gambling standpoint.

I'm very interested to see what happens this year at the BC with their lasix ban on the 2 year old races. Personally, I'm not going to play any race or multi-sequance that includes any of those races. I wonder if the handle is down enough on those races, if we will see a reversal of course by the BC.
