No. Not at all. No, lasix is not a stand-alone performance-enhancer.

Again, since all horse bleed according to you, how could you possibly prove this? Drug em all, that is the ticket.

Are you deliberately obtuse, or simply unable to understand? I'll give you a bit of credit, I'm guessing the former.

All horses that work at certain speeds and intensities suffer EIPH, all breeds (race horses, event horses, etc). However, not all horses that work hard for shorter intensities suffer EIPH (cutting horses, reining horses). Yes, if you give the second group of horses lasix, no, their performance is not improved.

Yes, all TB race horses are considered to bleed in their fast work (not at slow base-forming gallops).

Anyway, Hinchcliff proved the point in South Africa a few years ago, verifying previous data from NYRA races, and Australia.

Don't you have another conspiracy theory, where you completely ignore science you don't like, to promulgate? Gravity is a lie, or evolution doesn't occur?
