Handicapping Gulfstream this am - so most of the newly minted 3 year olds are getting 1st-time Lasix, unless of course they are running in the stakes race where Lasix is not permitted for any runners. Therefore, the older horses running in today\'s stakes race are also all Lasix-off. This will undoubtedly affect the performance of some of these horses running under this new medication protocol, which probably will lead to impossible to predict form reversals in some instances. How is this good for bettors? Happy New Year to us.
