True, but they can be compared against other first timers and two year olds, who do use it - Data Mining. Here is a list of the tracks that report:

It's over 100, even if they report (as a conservative estimate) 100 races per year with 8 starters per race. That's 80k starts. 5% of that would be 4k. Comparing over 10 years gives a larger sample too.
I'm not fighting to keep Lasix in the game, although it does put all of the contestants on a level playing field, banning all race days is a good PR move. I'm all for it. I just don't think including Lasix will accomplish what they want.
