On an individual basis, as a practical matter, this question is unanswerable. In general, I would look at a trainer's record both first and second lasix. Also, significant bleeding is a hemmorhage that takes some time to heal. I would be leery of playing horses to jump forward on less than 3 weeks test, and 4 is better.
