Sight - not being a vet, and not researching the adjunct scientific data aside, an interesting study will be then be to compare numbers earned by some of these winners outside of Kentucky to what they earned using it in Kentucky last week. If 1-2 jump up and win - then that is possible,and on the surface you might conclude the LA had no effect. If a majority of these LA winners all have big jumps, then ?? And if it has no scientific basis, which is very possible, why did so many administer it to their horses? As the vet (Alday)on the radio show alluded to mentioned, the adjunct"does not enhance performance but the amicor and estrogens DO enhance clotting resulting in less bleeding for horses", especially known bleeders. That sounds like a politically correct way of saying enhanced performance doesn't it?? If they bled through lasix possibly in the past, and this has a chance to prevent it today, but we can't do this in Cali, or New York ... My point still remains, racing deserves better than this on their biggest day. Leave no shadow of doubt for the public who maybe only follow racing on this day to say this is ridiculous as well as goodbye to the sport. bb
