Let me expand on that further. In those days you couldn’t use lasix without proof of bleeding. I had many horses that were winning at a given level and then one day bled. Got put on lasix. And guess what? Not a single one of them performed any better after getting lasix than they did prior to their bleeding episode. Not one went up in class on lasix. And I don’t even recall if any won first time out on lasix. Probably did but it wasn’t something I recall. Has anybody done a study on the number of horses that have moved up in class significantly once given lasix?
