How would I know why cheaters cheat? It isn't like we are dealing with a bunch of Einsteins now is it? Are you trying to tell me all these trainers know all the science of milkshakes and Lasix? Give me a break already.

I don't think you need to have a masters degree in psychology to figure out why cheaters cheat?

And this guy is trying to tell you that every horse getting lasix is in effect milkshaked. Which of course is ludicrous.

And lets not act naive like trainers are milkshaking their own horses or are producing the materials used for the pseudo-shakes...

Meh. I'm leaning towards a ban on Lasix. It's not like these trainers nowadays are deserving of having things their way. They don't run their horses enough to have a seat at the table any longer. They need to be bullied into either quitting or running their horses more.

This nonsense of banning lasix ruining the game is just that.

But realistically I'm more concerned with getting American bettors involved with Australian, Japanese, and Hong Kong racing. Or at the very least giving those of us who bet those races access to the local pools.
