When being lasix-free causes horses to suffer, we'll be sure to point directly. at. you.

I'll worry about it after horses like Anew are treated differently. That is a much bigger problem than bleeding, and nobody seems to care. Until then, you are all a bunch of hypocrites.

Push this beaten to death thread to 18 pages and all recieve Scat Daddy hats...

Scat

Banning lasix is a tax cut for rich tea party koch brother republicans. For that reason alone lasix should be allowed.

Btw I am a republican and speak with integrity.

Yes. There are much bigger problems than eliminating lasix. Unfortunately the hypocrites that have made lasix a false straw man for all of racing's perceived "problems" - move up performances, declining Beyers, inability to make money in the sport, smaller fields, falling purses, the sport failing and falling from the public eye.

The hypocrites are those blaming lasix for all of that, and thinking that eliminating lasix will change any of those things. Eliminating lasix will only harm the horses.
