Yeah blinkers off in a sprint is a juicy angle.

Great stuff. One of the many reasons why I love this board, something I will look for. Appreciate the angle.

you can use the same theory i explained before with first time lasix. many times the first time a horse gets lasix he is not at his preferred surface or distance, when he switches to what he really likes it will no longer show as first time lasix. but effectively for our betting purposes it is the first time he has had lasix at his preferred surface or distance. then bam he gets the wake up call and we hit another big payoff!

Some great info in this thread.

The above make me think about a number of times I have heard guys who like to play 2nd time Lasix. Rationale I have heard is that the Lasix doesn't "take" the first time and horse moves forward in 2nd start.

Wonder how much of that is attributable to another factor such as surface/equip change that accompanies 1st Lasix start.

Definitely great stuff to watch for.

My trainer discussed with me one day when I questioned the amount (cc's) of lasix the horse was administered. We NEVER know was the original dose ENOUGH or TOO MUCH. We had a horse who the race vet gave too much on the race day injection and almost put the horse to sleep...and he ran like it!
He misread the dosage instructions

2nd lasix could be more or less...inside info we never get from the form. The goal of the trainer/vet is to find the best amount to stop bleeding, but not impair performance.
