I would like to clarify my statement in regards to this, sir.....

He wasn't necessarily hitting on them, he was trying to get others to hit on them.

I, myself, was just having plesant conversation with the people of Saratoga, while running around like a bumbling idiot, Kev mistaked that for harpooning, or whatever guys do to overly large, but cute, woman.

Glad you clarified that.

I have done some hogging in my past, thanks to some incredibly wonderful beer goggles. Those goggles have been retired, so hopefully so has my hogging

When I was younger, my older uncle told me "Tommy, I give you one mission, make sure you ride the waves once, and only once"

I completed this mission when I was in college due to those very same goggles, and I have to admit, it was quite fun.

Default dont need it anymore

the usefulness of FTL as well as 2nd Lasix and sometimes 3rd time as a handicapping measure hasnt been relevant to finding prices now that most are aware of the benefit..early on and with certain trainers I know it was masking something else..lets get rid of it and bring the pedigree aspect of "bleeders" back into play

See post #42 regarding the myth of "pedigree aspect".

When lasix is discussed, it is the horse - only - that should be considered. Not handicapping. Handicappers will have to work around whatever is decided best for the horse.

Lasix hasn't been able to mask anything via urine dilution for a long time, detection methods are too good for that.
