I know it isn't a huge sample, but it is big enough to know that Lasix clearly isn't the wonder drug some are making it out to be.

The sample size is not big enough to make good determinations about the individual horses themselves let alone any sweeping generalizations about bleeding or lasix. You could scope 55 different horses and get the exact opposite results.

This is stuff that any statistics class goes over right after reading the syllabus.
