Lasix is not a stand-alone performance enhancer.

Every study I've ever done, and there were many, showed a very high percentage of horses ran faster with 1st time Lasix than they ever did pre-Lasix, so this simply isn't true. Of course these days the sample size is way too small to test because most horses apparently bleed at birth.
