Black Tie Affair was obviously a MUCH better horse with lasix. He was 0-for-5 in NY .. but lasix wasn't legal there at the time.
When allowed to race on lasix ... Black Tie Affair had a career record of 13-10-1-2
Two of those three defeats came in sprint races .. and the other one was off a layoff.
While he was unpressured on the lead in the BC Classic - he still won the race and did so with a 120 Beyer figure for his 6th straight win... all at the Graded Stakes level.
Look at Mineshaft before he got lasix ... he wasn't very much either.
