NYTHA Lasix Primer & Letter to NYS RWB

[Honu]

How about we use Robinal instead? Or Premerin and La'Arginine.....why do people think we have to replicate racing from other countries? Really us Americans do a whole lot of stuff way different than other countries because we ARE different. People who own horses and dont like Lasix, dont use it then.

that's still medication honu. it's not whether it's useful or has a purpose, or even that we aren't in fact the only country that allows lasix-whether on raceday or in training.

a certain segment wants raceday medication banned. it doesn't matter if it would make a horse walk on water, they feel raceday use, regardless of merit, is wrong.


guess we may see how it'll shake out if it gets banned. if nothing else, it'll be interesting.

you can give a million reasons why it should stay, that means nothing.

Actually Premerin and La'Arginine are not given on race day....one is given 36 hours out and the 24 hours out.

Premarin is not going to go over with the PETA crowd considering where it comes from.

It is amazing what horses can do when they are not bleeding into their lungs.

Why, they can run to their best effort!

Why, they can run even better than their best effort!

No thanks. I have an evidence-based opinion on frusemide. Not an unsubstantiated, factually-opposed and rationally-bereft cultist dogma
