Well, that will cut the Derby field down to six in a couple years.
Unbelievably dumb. You have elite athletes you want to perform at the highest levels, and you don't want to help enable their lungs to stay healthy? Ridiculous. Every trainer in KY will go elsewhere. Funny, I recall when New York was the only jurisdiction that didn't allow lasix! I'm still shaking my head in disbelief at the ignorance of those running this sport ... out of all the medication problems in racing, they want to outlaw the one that helps protect horses from bleeding disasters?

i don't expect the rule (if passed by the full committee) to stay in place any longer than the synthetic mandate lasted in cali. especially considering the third paragraph above!

Yay! Per Matt Hegarty on Twitter: Vote tied 7-7 thus motion to ban lasix does not pass
Good news for race horses.
