With today’s testing ability Lasix isn’t going to mask anything. It doesn’t enhance performance it only ensures horses will be able to run to its god given ability assuming all other possible performance reducers don’t naturally hinder. Bleeding is traumatic to horses mentally. I’ve seen horses that bled that never run the same again down the stretch. You can scope em all you want and you don’t find anything. They just pack it in at the spot they experienced the blended. They associate the deeper breathing at that point with the trauma they experienced. Horses have a hell of a memory for bad experiences. And as a trainer I never rode an apprentice for a five pound weight break.
