the rest of the world in racing does not give a rats ass if we use lasix or not..why can the euros run jump horses 4.5 miles with 30 jumps and dont need lasix? its a diffrent breed..dont think for a hot second that the british sharp trainers dont have thier own 'helpers' ala t pleach in the usa..they do .our racing is diffrent as are the tracks and the grass and the way we need speed not endurance. the breed is changing for the worse but any help we or the trainers get is justified. my 2c
