Without question -both groups will be screaming in the scenario you presented. However, the bettors will be demanding the reinstatement of Lasix, whereas, PETA would state that this outcome supports their position that horses are being "abused" and racing should be banned.
Horse racing is clearly at the crossroads here. Even though it appears that an agreement between the respective parties regarding race-day Lasix at Santa Anita has been reached, I would say the line on whether they are still racing there in 5 years is at best - pick'em.
