It may be a huge overstep but it must start somewhere. I completely agree it has to be an industry-wide step but I do not know where to start.

I have followed horse racing for over 40 years and believe that the thoroughbreds are now weaker physically. I do not have any answers to why but I believe the "over use" of Lasix has been a contributing factor as well as other medications.
