I want to understand your displeasure in the mentioned race? Shekky Shebaz repeated the performance from the previous effort, and hats off to Servis for heading to the grass in the last 2 starts. The horse has always used Lasix (at least the last 10, and I do not know why), so that is not an issue with this or the last race. The horse has been running decent over 13 outings leading to the last race, the debut on the turf. John Henry, the $25,000 claimer that nobody wanted years ago, because he was a slug, changed his mind about running when he stepped on the grass. Please do not misunderstand me here. I am not a pro drug guy for the sport of racing and would like to see changes. I am not an expert on Lasix and the need for or the reason to make it go away. My only point here is that yesterdays race was not the result of drugs and would never be a evidence to support your effort to eliminate Lasix, (do to the racing record of the winner). There are plenty of other examples from the past to substantiate your claims. I, myself would like, at least an explanation of sorts, as to why a horse is using a drug........All we get is an L...not quite enough explanation, and I don't believe 95% of all the horses racing are bleeders........On your side, but not using this race as a basis to complain..........Just saying!!!

Was watching the racing on TVG yesterday . Servis also won the previous $50k claiming race with a horse he had claimed for $12, 500. Mike Joyce asked Kurt Hoover , whose opinion I respect , if it was unusual for older horses who have regressed to suddenly improve their form to that extent . Hoover said it almost never happens. Servis , whose claimer Macagone broke the track record at Saratoga earlier in the meet is either the greatest trainer of all time or something fishy is going on . I can tell you from reading horse racing twitter that 95% of bettors are in the latter camp .

Only thing that ever changes occasionally is the names of the trainers.

www.usada.org/choose-usada/These are the types of substances that have found their way to cycling and other endurance sports. Maybe next we'll talk about how inadequate some of our testing labs are. Hooper GW1516 A chemical compound by the name of GW156 activated another chemical called PPARD – a chemical responsible for burning fat in mammalian bodies. In the study, Salk researchers gave normal – albeit sedentary – mice a high regular dose of GW for a long period of time, compared to mice that did not. Both were subjected to intense treadmill tests, a rat race if you will, to see how long they could run before they were exhausted. Mice in the control group ran for about 160 minutes before giving up. Mice on the drug, however, ran for a whopping 270 minutes – more than 70 percent longer. The biochemical processes didn’t change the way a performance enhancing drug might – their blood sugar levels still regulated their natural exhaustion. FG4592 So how does FG-4592/ASP1517 actually work? In very broad terms, it works at the genetic level to allow the body’s natural red blood cell production to function more efficiently. Or, to quote from a FibroGen press release, FG-4592/ASP1517 is “an inhibitor of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) prolyl hydroxylase”. To understand that statement, we’ll need to return to a couple of principles that we touched on in an earlier article about gene doping. AICAR Next, the scientists focused on another protein called AMPK. They gave sedentary mice a daily injection of AICAR, which boosts AMPK, for a month. At the end of the month, those mice ran 23% longer and 44% farther than before starting AICAR treatment. That is, their endurance had improved without working out. The results show that AMPK and PPAR-delta "can be targeted by orally active drugs to enhance training or even to increase endurance without exercise," write the researchers
