that trainers at the NYRA tracks are not very cool to the idea that ONLY NY State vets can give the LASIX injections 4 hours pre-race.Not their own personal vet! What's the problem? Right? Seems as a way to keep the crooked vets out right?

Well each horse on lasix is given a very individual dose of the medication, be it 2 cc, 4 cc, to to 12 cc's pre race. I have been told that the NYRA vets are going to give EVERY HORSE the full 12 units.

More lasix than a horse is used too is detrimental I've been told. It sedates horses...does anybody else have any imput on this? The NYRA site and press releases DO NOT mention this but my trainer at Belmont told me about this last week after we sent some horses out of state and had to let the track vet there give the lasix...and our horses ran like they were asleep! :(
