Tony,
It seems to me that the time to say, "No Lasix" was 40-50 years ago, at the time when not almost every horse needed it.
Back then, if Lasix had been banned - not even completely - breeders would have been forced to breed away from
bleeders.
Instead, the opposite was true.
Imagine (today) if, instead of banning Lasix, breeding with a stallion or mare that ran on Lasix was banned. There would be nobody left to breed!
Do I have this wrong?
Dave
