how does lasix benefit some more than others? and if you have no way of knowing if a horse would bleed or not, how would you know if lasix was beneficial or not?


i just wonder if this latest hot topic will be like poly a few years back in california? look where the synthetic mandate ended up. i can't help but think that if you start having hemorraging horses on the track they won't back-pedal in a hurry. and there have been instances where a horse bled so severely they went down in a race.
