Default Best trainers with non-lasix horses?

I know we keep track of information like someone's record on different surfaces, different distances, first time starters, etc. but does anybody have statistics on who does well with horses not running on lasix?

I was watching And They're Off and when they referenced the pledge of some owners not to run their 2yos on lasix, it made me wonder. If you were getting into the game and had a 2yo you wanted to run without lasix, who would you go to and why? (Obviously Larry Jones would be out if his comments are any indication.) There's probably a difference between trainers that'll do what you tell them to even if they'd rather use lasix and those that have some knowledge and experience going without it.

It is immaterial. Despite nonsense to the contrary you do not train to "use" or "not use" lasix. It plays no role in training unless the horse has a bleeding problem. Use prior to bleeding episodes is strictly preventative.
