Huh? What are you basing that on?

I did overstate it when I said it's been totally debunked, but there is clear evidence that it is not as effective as people have been led to believe, and that aspirin is a bandaid for an underlying problem that needs to be addressed.

My dad starting taking daily aspirin after what was a misdiagnosed mild heart issue and almost died from a GI bleed 3 weeks later.......scary stuff.

I don't get how with all these drugs the game has developed for horse welfare, the advances in modern equine medicine, that horses run about 1/3 as often as they did in the "30 years ago".
