A ban on lasix makes the sport more expensive for owners a group already shrinking, almost assuredly will lead to more NY Times "incidents" with more horses bleeding severely and less formful races as various treatments (all unknown to bettors) will work to widely varying degrees.

Actually, I believe nothing of the sort. I just know Lasix is a performance enhancer and have said so all along. That has really been the only thing I've argued about.
I don't care if horses get Lasix, but it should be fair. There are other ways around it. Why not give horses not using it a 5 pound weight break and/or make the price to claim them higher?
Drug them all...sounds the best answer to me.
