Lasix enhances performance

[cmorioles]

The California attending veterinarians are at liberty to switch out established race-day Lasix administration for race-day Premarin without the public disclosure of the change. All the while the horse is listed on the program as a Lasix horse race after race, despite differing medication regimens from race to race. This can result in significant variations in the type and dosage of administered medications from race to race, with associated alterations in performance. A horse listed as a Lasix horse may legally receive Premarin instead of Lasix. Next race the horse may receive Lasix, or Lasix plus Premarin, or only Premarin. The betting public is not made aware of these medication switches. Potential performance variations because of medication changes are hidden from the public by the California Horse Racing Board.

Oh by the way you also gamble on horses that have been given Vetalog shot and DMSO jugs and or had their hocks injected and you dont know about it. They might have been given a pack of Azium to dry up a slight cough at 48 hrs and you wouldnt know about that either. Also could have had the gallop person jump on the horse in the stall prior to being led over to the paddock to "wake" one up, you wouldnt know that either.

I'm sure there is lots of stuff I don't know. It doesn't mean I shouldn't know this, silly argument.

Let me ask you, can you point me to the PPs of a few of these California horses where they are listed as not having Lasix for 6 months?

If you want to know you do the research....Im just telling you what the rule is and the reason I know was because I asked Dr Blea. The reason for my question is because there is a horse in our barn that was being considered not to run on Lasix.

You are doing it again Orioles.

Remember my Zenyatta fan analogy.

This coming from a pharmacist that suffers from over confidence in their knowledge based on having too much education.

You do realize you keep missing the point that Orioles has been making about Lasix, right?

The point being that lasix imparts an edge to racehorses that has nothing to do with stopping bleeding into the lungs.

That was a nice dodge on your part, pointing out that humans and horses are both mammals! Freaking brilliant!!!

I am utterly wowed by your inability to comprehend a very basic concept. Or, maybe comprehend is the wrong term. Perhaps you wanted to show off your 'expertise' here by announcing that you are a pharmacist, and the only way you could do that was by chiming in with a total non sequitur.

Now go look up the meaning of non sequitur with your beloved Google search engine.

Nobody was arguing the rule, just that it is not only keeping information from horseplayers, it is outright deceptive.
