What Options Do Lasix-Dependent Horses Have?
I'm talking about high-end Lasix-dependent horses; specifically, horses that have used up all of their allowance conditions.
The reason I'm asking this is because I was just on the NYRA's web site, and saw their first 2021 condition book - and even ungraded stakes are barred to Lasix users.
I was hoping that they would at least have the decency to card "money condition" allowance races or overnight handicaps for the Lasix-dependent horses - yet there is not a single such race in the condition book.
So what do these martinets expect trainers to do - run horses that are worth half a million dollars or even more in $62,500 optional claimers?
