Yep Frisco, definitely not cool. But I think the enhancing capapbilities of lasix are a little overrated (if not for a legitimate bleeder). Now, that masking thing is a whole different issue. Lots of underhanded stuff going on over here. At the big tracks, I don't think the top trainers are really willing to risk getting caught and losing their reputation, but at the small tracks, all bets are off. At least there are some measures in place to deny illegal drugs, such as the Detention Barns set up at Saratoga this summer where all horses would be contained and watched 24 hours pre-race and before administering any lasix. Kinda of a bad way to go about things but at least they are trying.
