As an aside I have always been skeptical of "bleeding" taking place in horses lungs but rather the human equivalent of pulmonary edema which "looks like bleeding" the lasix both increases capacitance (pipe size thus more pipe less bleeding but also causes urination through a "loop of Henle" mechanism) or the highest and most effacious way to move water fast.

I would think that Zaroxyln could be used as a Lasix adjunct as it is in humans for a more exagerated response...

Probably more than you wanted on this one but I have wondered about this subject for a long time!!

And Chuck.......No way A-Rod is accepted in Boston on any level any time!!!
What would be great would be if he remains unsigned because no team can afford him and ends having to sit out a year but then again I still hold out for the tooth fairy as well....

Why the hate for A Rod???

I feel silly asking this , but at tracks like Churchill (http://www.brisnet.com/cgi-bin/insta...7-11-01&race=9)
they have LA next to some horses under medication/equipment. Is this indicating Amicar as well as Lasix?

Naw, L = lasix and A = "an adjunct". I'm not sure if Amicar (aminocaproic acid) is only adjunct allowable in KY, I believe the other three (carbazochrome - "KY Red", conjugated estrogens, tranexamic acid) can be used in KY. I wouldn't note any of them in your handicapping.

Thanks , I was beginning to worry that the "A" stands for A-Rod..

Chuck, A-Rod is a very talented but cancerous, self indulged to new levels, chronic cooler who will always be a phony and a choker. Other that he's a fine upstanding family man who publically displays his harem of mistress's and fondness for strip clubs while still asking for the world to validate his athletic ability..... he's headed for the hall but I think he will always make every team he's on less than what they are while gathering numbers unsurpassed by any baseball player in history.

That's why all the ill feling toward A-Rod...other guys have similiar flaws but none are able to out do A-Rod's cry for attention while showing such classless self promotion. One example would be the announcement for fre agency when the World Series is center stage...

I believe that this is a media portrayal of him to be honest. What teams has he had a negative effect on? Seattle? They were very good before management broke them up. Texas? Please. The Yankees? They have a lot of problems but A Rod wasn't one of them. He takes a lot of blame because of his contract but baseball is not a one man sport where a guy can carry a team. As for his off the field 'issues' if you hated all athletes who went to strip clubs or cheated on their wives you would have very few guys to root for.

I agreed that many guys could use some help in the monogamy department but A-Rod seems to take this to excess.....the guys lack of clutch performance makes his period of performing seem inconsequential though the numbers are there for individual stats his lack of impact on a team makes him an empty suit.

The little item this week with his announcement of giving up the remaining years of his current contract couldn't have been more selfish and selfserving if he wanted it to be. His failure to show up for the Henry Aaron award and give deference to one of the greats of the game was another example of how selfish little Alex can be.....sorry game set match Alex is everything I try to teach my kids not to be..
