Or the measured difference that a study quoted earlier here found.

Is that worth drugging every horse so now they all run a length faster?

If you take an aspirin for a sore knee, are you a "drugged performance enhancer"? And nobody has ever said lasix should be given to every horse.

Sturdier is an assumption based on rapidly declining starts per year, which happens to coincide with the use of Lasix.

That also coincides 100% with the advancement of the Mayan calendar.

As for your science, there have been studies done that show it does enhance performance among non-bleeders. You posted it yourself if I'm not mistaken.

That's right, I posted three studies about performance. What did they say again?

The thread has now come full circle. Some that are sure lasix is a performance enhancer ruining the sport will not be dissuaded by any evidence to the contrary.

Kasept and Cannon wrote some very insightful posts in the first few pages. Worth a re-read.
