Yeah, that's too much. I found it to be about .08 per furlong. So for Runhappy, about 0.56 for his King's Bishop, 0.48 for his BC Sprint. When I used the Beyer scale it worked out to about 7 points regardless of distance. It was really consistent too.
Of course there were a lot of "first time lasix" horses 20 years ago and had plenty of data to work with back then. Now, not so much.
