For older geldings, the improvement was as much as nine lengths. The study also found that over 60 percent of bleeders continued to bleed after being given Lasix."

Yes. I have posted that very study on Dee Tee several times. They are ignoring the parts of that study they don't like, however. And how about the other ones that contradict it?

Can't pick and choose. One has to acknowlege all the scientific evidence, in toto.
