Lasix thought.
Greetings all.
With this being the first running of the derby lasix free some thoughts I have had and welcome others thoughts..
1) Have trainers babied there horses doing everything possible to avoid a bleed?
Reason for the slower than normal speed figures?
2) Now trainers are as they say tightening the screws. These horses are getting trained harder than ever, to run further than ever, carrying more weight than ever.
Some horse have only run three times.
It is a level playing ground, but I have been burned by this new rule and have bet horses that bled. Is this an issue to factor into handicapping?
Any other thoughts about this subject going into the derby?
Ty and GL
