Effect of No-Lasix Experiment on Handle

[BitPlayer]

Are we thinking that the handle on the Pegasus World Cup and Turf will be negatively affected by the prohibition of Lasix and other medications?

[TGJB]

I\'m more interested in seeing what effect it has on the figures they run.

How do you separate the effect of no medication from the effect of changing track speed?

[TGJB]

They\'re not all going to run slower or bleed, some will and some won\'t. We will be able to tell. But that\'s a good question.

What\'s the USA off track handle on Dubai World Cup day compared with similar races where Lasix is permitted?  That would be a good starting point in figuring out the answer to your question.

[RICH]

it certainly didn\'t effect the entries !

Big day for sure. In 2019 it was $41 million while Florida Derby day was $49 million.  Just as a comparison: Travers $52, Friday BC did $52, Oaks $55, Preakness $93, BC Saturday $105, Belmont $137, Derby Day $225.
