Forte I have Bad vibes off since 11/4 /22 and Pletcher I bet he puts
Forte in one non point race with Lasix and after for Cox and Pletcher the Pattern
is good for 2 races after. Cyberknife special. ? Red Flag Anyway.
Hoosier Philly might have an injury from that stumble out of the gate.

I still don't see Comparing Humans (even Children) to Tbreds the 2 systems are different to function.
Horses System are different from most other animals. Its like comparing a Kumquat to a Q Tip.

It's used on race day, in the U.S. and Canada, to control horse's bleeding in the lungs. But outside of North America, it's widely banned on race days. As a diuretic, Lasix causes horses to drop a significant amount of weight due to fluid loss. As a result, they race lighter. That's led to charges that Lasix is a performance-enhancer.
Why do horses bleed?
Racehorses are unique, in that they are one of very few animals known to suffer Exercise Induced Pulmonary Hemorrhage (EIPH) (more commonly referred to as bleeding), Professor Ken Hinchcliff, dean of veterinary and agricultural sciences at the University of Melbourne and co-author of a series of comprehensive studies in recent years looking into the effects of Lasix on racehorses, told the Guardian. One of the causes of EIPH is a four-fold increase in pulmonary blood pressure when horses exercise or compete.

“If you take a horse out and exercise it, then the blood pressure leading from the artery on the right side of the heart to the lungs increases from about 25mm of mercury [pressure] to about 100mm of pressure,” he said. “You don’t see anything like this in humans, for example.”
-“A horse can pass between 10 to 15 liters of urine in the first hour after Furosemide is administered,” said Hinchcliff. “Whereas a horse throughout the normal course of the day would only produce about 10 to 15 liters of urine. So it markedly increases the rate of urine production.”

I'm no doctor but you would think after one hour it would create a Hydrate problem, Do they still have to wait 4 hours
before a race with no water ???

I just saw Don Corleone, the pricey MTR colt run his second race. He challenged a Baffert colt on the front end, then tired badly. It was a better effort than his debut at least.
Just found out that when he ran so impressively at the sales, resulting in his 1.2 million price tag, it was on an artificial surface. He might wind up on the turf before long. He is such a big, imposing figure, that I have to believe he will have some success at some point.
