Only if you ignore the incidence of EIPH in American (allows lasix) and non-American racing jurisdictions. And the results in the progeny of American sires used as shuttle stallions.

Focusing on lasix as a major problem in horse racing is a sham, and an idiocy.

I think that's a pretty good description

I'm sure they all feel wonderfully self-satisfied for their efforts at taking American racing back to a past that's not in the best interest of the health and welfare of the race horse, nor at current standards of veterinary medical care.

So, are you really saying that if you ignore bleeders vs non bleeders, than your entire argument finally holds merit?

How much do you get paid to post here and on other boards?
