To be fair, I'm pretty sure you can substitute New York with any other racing jurisdiction and that entire paragraph would still be mostly truthful.

I thought it was interesting, especially considering that it was written several years before Lasix was legal in New York. Amusing really when you have buffoons such as Phipps, Farmer and Irwin who insist that Lasix is the root of all evil and that racing was better before it was legalized. Just another example of how delusional this unholy trinity is regarding raceday medication and public perception.
