First Time Lasix Plays--Sunday

I am old school! Period!
Don't jump to conclusions? As some of you know, I have been involved in this Same day Lasix issue for over a year. I have tried to keep an open mind on this heated issue because I know folks on both sides. Yet, I have not seen enough credible data to say that Lasix is the end-all evil that some claim. It seems to me that if a horse shows symptoms of E.I.P.H that Lasix is a miracle medicine which is good for the horse and helps avoid financial disaster to the owners. It now appears that the BC folks were sold a bill of goods by the anti-lasix people, and I can tell you right now that you will never change their minds on this issue and that they will remain a vocal minority until lasix is banned forever. Sounds like PETA, doesn't it. Well, I certainly don't want to turn this HRT Forum into a lasix debate , plenty of that crap on poor old Ray Paulick's web site if you are interested. Two runners going today at Churchill who were racing without lasix and now get the help they needed to get the job done.
CD 9th---#2 Dancinginthecircle, 7/2, gets first tme lasix for Larry Jones after dropping like a rock in last out GIII. Recent works with lasix show that this one does indeed benefit from miracle medicine?
CD 10th---#6 Titletown Five, 5/2, Wayne Lucas was on board with the anti-lasix folks last summer at the spa and this well meant son of Tiznow could not get to the winner's circle. He shipped back to CD and Lucas did an about face and put him on and his latest works show that he too, will benefit from administration of same day medication.
Bonus longshot at SA Race 7---Glowing Spirit---got word on this one from someone who knows a little about the connections?
GOOD LUCK TO ALL!

Lasix no doubt helps runners. It *might* be hurting the breed. That's the issue. Regardless, agree with the play idea. I couldn't take Wayne Lukas @ 2-1 with Showdough's money, however.
Waiting until these blue bloods (Winstar, Casner, anybody else who took the "pledge"), to drop straight maidens in for 40 or 50k, claiming them, giving them lasix, and then winning a maiden and starter condition before dumping the horse for 25k is the best strategy in the game.
I'll get back to you on Glowing Spirit, but this one sounds familiar to me as well.
In Race 5 at CD, I got word that big money will be going down on #5 Favorite Uncle, 5-1 ml. Watch the tote board and if so then he is a key over the 2/3/6 on my tri play!
