Your assumption is that the horses pre-lasix are not bleeding. Hard science says no, that's not true.
You say it is true because of one scope and lack of obvious blood in the nose or trachea. That's a method that misses the diagnosis of bleeding 80% of the time. Other methods with greater detection shows that yes, these horses are bleeding in their dorso-caudal lungs.

Again though, this is the problem. How much of a problem is it if it takes that much to detect it? These two year olds at Saratoga that didn't bleed will race faster with Lasix on average, I guarentee it. Of course you say they did bleed without proof, calling those people that said they didn't liars basically. How convenient.
