Sully · 1st time lasix just seals the deal with me for Departing. He should romp. Like Departing, Ground Transport did not have the greatest trip in the LA Derby, so I like him coming home 2nd. I'm looking for a big race from Dewey Square to get 3rd, and Siete De Oros is ultra consistent to round out the super. · 36 days ago ·

BrianZipse · I have thought highly of the potential of Departing since his career debut, but this is a solid field, and the 13-hole is no bargain. It should be interesting! · 36 days ago ·

travel_vic · Furosemide the biggest LIE every incorporated into the racing game. Decreased platelet adhesion (ONE OF THE BIG side effects of Bute), in other words PROMOTE bleeding and then come along and think (EVEN while Bute is still in the system) it will not create even more capillary fagility and the loss the the plug function that platelets are called in to do. Horse may improve, but it won't be because of Lasix....In objective studies of final times, only geldings showed any, and that was barely statistically significant.....No one questions the dogma even though it continues to leach Calcium ions out of newly laid down bone in babies....Pharmacological insanity over which as a human practitioner might lose their license · 36 days ago ·

head_heart_hooves · travel_vic: do you have a link to or title of any of these studies? I would like to look into the subject more. I wonder why Lasix is such a big deal if it is completely ineffective... · 36 days ago ·

travel_vic · not handy but if you just google furoseminde butazolidin interactions you will see a lot of them and how they work effectively against one another. · 36 days ago ·

travel_vic · no drug has a single effect. We tolerate the minor effects as long as the major effect is worthwile...Bute interacts with furosemide to reduce its effectivenss. · 36 days ago ·

MichaelPete · Agree with you Sully! Except I LOVE Ground Transport to win this one for Stidham. He was a litltle wide in LA Derby, but he should get out on top or close and runaway with this one. Sucks there are no points to go towards Kentucky. · 36 days ago ·

head_heart_hooves · travel_vic: I understand the drug interaction. The studies I was referring to were the "objective studies of final times." Also, believing in aliens and believing that a loop diuretic makes horse run faster are two far different things. If your argument is that everyone should not only focus on furosemide but also phenylbutazone, et al, then I'm for it. If not, you will need to clarify for me. · 35 days ago ·

Sully · Just for the record, I don't recall ever saying Departing is going to run faster because he's getting lasix. From a handicapping angle (all handicappers understand that's all we have to go on most of the time to set us apart from the crowd), first time lasix is usually a sign that something did not go right in the last race, and they're attempting to fix it. Thus I view it as a "drug" that prevents problems, not a performance enhancer like steroids. That is all. · 35 days ago ·

Mary Z. · btw, Just about all of my favorites(could be all at this time) run while on Salix. I still am against using this drug as an "equalizer"(everyone else is on it). Not its intended purpose. · 35 days ago ·
