perfect example of horse improving off lasix/flight craft

[macdaddi]

last year flight craft was a struggling bottom horse in pa sire stakes he had a mark of 155 this year was put on lasix and is all of a sudden cruising in 151.3 in series final at the meadows earlier this year in two starts was a 156 horse now a 151 horse and will be very competitive in pa sire stakes

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.   

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.
