Triple Crown Remedy? No More Lasix

The Derby and Preakness winners are skipping the final leg of the Triple Crown and the Belmont is, to be kind, a bit of a dud. So, here we go again -- the hand-wringers say we need to fix the Triple Crown. Sorry, but it's not the Triple Crown that needs fixing, but the horses that run in the Triple ...Read More

mdracing69 · Interesting article. It brings back memories of the 1987 Belmont Stakes. Alysheba was going fo a Triple Crown sweep and New York did not permit lasix at that time. Alysheba was flat as a pancake behind runaway winner Bet Twice. I would like to see the Triple Crown tracks get together and ban lasix as well, but that is not likely to happen anytime soon. · 738 days ago ·

humphrey · Furosemide is a joke and always has been. Go to most tracks today and over 90% of the horses are on it, even untried two year olds.....There is nothing done to check the electrolytes on these animals and the fluid loss can be substantial. Our season is only a month old and we have had three babies collapse on the track...all on furosemide with NO evidence of EIPH. Multiple buckets of water and ice lavages were necessary to revive them, thankfully. If you do some pharmacological interaction investigation, you will discover that in the presence of furosemide, BUTE'S action is substantially decreased: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7486400 http://www.omafra.gov.on.ca/english/livestock/horses/facts/info_pheny.htm So the fashionable use of a drug with spurious efficacy is not only dumb it is ineffective...This is not to mention the effects of flushing other clandestine medications out of the body. · 738 days ago ·

humphrey · This supposed edge is also a lie. Veterinary tests of performance through time reduction only showed a slight advantage in geldings only and other tests are in the works.....It is a sham. http://www.grayson-jockeyclub.org/newsimages/The_Horse_022610.pdf · 738 days ago ·
