He got beat against the same horses last series and now they can’t touch him.

All this trainers horses were on go the last few days, wasn’t this the series he got busted for a while back?

Good point, LOL.   ;D

The scientific study I read way back and committed to memory, used a pretty big sampling of race horses, thoroughbreds though, beyond Lasix's (Furosemide) use for it's intended purpose, it did improve the performance in geldings by 1 second, and fillies / mares by 1/5 of second faster on average.  tmbz1
