The white horse emerged late last year representing promise to restore a limping game; a new age of clean racing, race-day-medication-free racing; but the white horse hung coming down the lane. Too much Lasix, it seems; resulting in an inability to hold sway.

Just got around to reading this and it was interesting and both articles were good. Crist has lots of experience in this game and I respect what he's got to say.

I respect him too and I really have to agree with what he is saying. I also think that only 10-20 % of the horses need lasix and IMHO they should not be running. Period end of story.

Got an email with the link to the survey. You bet I filled it out.
Could we start a separate thread on this survey??? I'm afraid it could be lost in this thread, and as much participation as possible is needed.
