Default dont need it anymore

the usefulness of FTL as well as 2nd Lasix and sometimes 3rd time as a handicapping measure hasnt been relevant to finding prices now that most are aware of the benefit..early on and with certain trainers I know it was masking something else..lets get rid of it and bring the pedigree aspect of "bleeders" back into play

See post #42 regarding the myth of "pedigree aspect".

When lasix is discussed, it is the horse - only - that should be considered. Not handicapping. Handicappers will have to work around whatever is decided best for the horse.

Lasix hasn't been able to mask anything via urine dilution for a long time, detection methods are too good for that.
