Oy. Glad he seems to be on the mend.

Demonstrating once again how great running without Lasix is for both the bettors and the horse!

He didn't use it because he wouldn't be able to race in Hong Kong again

Get rid of lasix so this can happen MORE and MORE

These arguments for lasix shown in this thread are ridiculously simplistic.

Let's just dismiss all the KNOWN problems with diuretics so we can beat our chests that in this one instance, we were right.

Cause, you know, if you are right once, you are right all the time.

Is it any more simplistic than when those supporting a Lasix ban cite a horse winning without Lasix as evidence that no horses need to be using it?

I suppose not, but the chest thumping righteousness is a bit much.

You should apply to be Obama's Press Secretary with such a simplistic, dismissive argument against a prime example that supports the arguments made by those who support the use of Lasix.

Prime example?

You don't even know if the horse wouldn't have bled with Lasix being used, which happens more than you seem to realize.

Prime example?

If that's one of the best examples you can come up with, the pro Lasix camp has already lost.
