Now keep in mind 30 years ago I criticized the NYRA when they were the only jurisdiction where Lasix was not being used. And I regret those statements today. Like Mark stated Lasix is a diuretic that does help a horse run cleaner (less bleeding) while enabling it to produce the best performance. So says the trainers and proponents. Research has shown it can mask performance enhancer's and prolonged use weakens joints and bone mass. Not to mention that no one else uses this drug on raceday. One of the most glaring points on Lasix use and how it can move a horse "up" is 1st time. Nuff said after watching the use over many years. Clean raceday participants benifits the animal and the game. Trainers want that extra edge rather than doing what is best, surely if it was so beneficial everyone would be using it to keep the horses safe as possible. Not for purse and prestige. Train clean show that you can or hang it up. For the horses benefit.

Tom Amoss explained:

Lasix makes it possible for a horse to enter a race, but it doesn't help 
that horse run faster.
It just helps that horse not bleed during the race.
