This is very interesting, seems odd to break it out only for the most prestigious race of the meet. Why not give it a shot throughout the condition book? Kind of how like the Breeders Cup went lasix free a few years ago but I don't remember that applying anywhere else.
I also was surprised to see the race open to 3 year olds, but I guess if you pay those sort of entry fees they'll let you do what you want. A non-lasix 3yo would carry 101 lbs, would that ever be enough of a break to entice anyone with a youngster? Any respectable jock capable of making anywhere near that weight?
