From the article: Breeders' Cup Central
Breeders' Cup has announced new rules to eliminate lasix for their 2-year-old races in 2012 and from all the races in 2013. Is it a good idea or will it keep too many horses from competing in the Breeders' Cup races? What do you think about this? Share your thoughts...

- It is not medicine it's a procedure. If other athletes (NFL, NBA, etc) do it, it's fine with me as long as horse is ok.

ban it
- It should be banned. Lasix is a medicine and should not be used for enhancing performance.

It's about time!
- If the rest of the world can race without Lasix why not us?

Undecided on this
- While I would love to see cut backs in the use of Lasix, I am afraid this may lower the quality of the Breeders' Cup races by keeping away good horses who really need to use the drug.
