BC to phase out raceday meds; No Lasix for '12 Juvenile events

#1 07-15-2011, 04:56 AM

Rumor has it they're going to burn the American flag in the winners circle.

Wait until the next big thing skips the BC because he/she is a known bleeder.

Better yet, watch the faces of the chalk eaters when the favorite pulls up at the top of the stretch.

why are they banning race day lasix?

Because they want to be European. They tend to despise their neighbors and feel they are superior to everyone around them. They attach themselves to people and places that are far away so they can one up the neighbors they despise.

Basically your dealing with morons. Morons with money and extreme emotional problems.

Absolutely makes it unbettable in 2013. Guess I'll have to go this year and next year and be done with horse racing after that

As long as they don't make me give up my raceday meds.

Forget about say, the Del Cap being unbettable, Scav is saying 15 races almost 2.5 years from now are unbettable. Brilliant!

Now that was a non-sequitur.

So you are going to want to risk your hard earned money on a race where out of the say 14 starters, 10 of them are going to be Lasix Off and then you have to predict who is gonna handle that. No thank you.

That is why its unbettable to me now.

Who says they are going to be "Lasix off" in the BC only? If you know the BC races are Lasix off, maybe horses will be prepared without Lasix in advance of that knowledge...

Overall, I just think it was premature to say it will automatically be bad betting.

Indian Charlie · #13 07-15-2011, 11:57 AM

It's going to be an advantage to trainers that can get away with stuff that others cannot.

Same as it ever was.

Here is what I know. Out of the 6 race horses that we have in racing, 4 of them couldn't compete at the lowest levels of racing, say Beulah Park, if it wasn't for Lasix.

Meanwhile, because of Lasix, we compete at levels the horse is capable of because we prevent him from being in pain, while 1000% sound.

Please enlighten us on the positives of banning Lasix on a race day. Please don't make the nonsensical claims that it masks other drugs or that it has weakened the breed.

Or hopefully this will be the end of the Breeder's Cup and NYRA will reinstate the fall Championship series for those that want to run on real dirt with Lasix.

I was gonna mention this yesterday, they should just take over this thing, let the BC fart around with some BS horse from South Africa and India and do it the right way.

Amazing, another moronic knee jerk reaction much like synthetic racetracks. But I am sure Dr. Loonybin will come on here and tell us why I am wrong. This should do wonders for the raceday horse population.
