Lasix is a drug administered to racehorses to combat exercise induced pulmonary hemorrhaging ( bleeding from the lungs).

It is a legal substance in North America and some other countries but around the world it is a prohibited drug. In most places a " bleeder "

Is prohibited from racecourse competition as the animal is a menace and could cause an accident during an event .

The author Bill Heller asks his readers if lasix has become increasingly popular because it not only contains bleeding from the lungs but can improve raceday performance quite dramatically in some instances.

Heller tells us that in its natural habitatethe horse was a grazing animal , whose exertions were to sprint with the herd to avoid predators. Now the modern horse is asked to race over longer assignments, sometimes with jumps included. The reaction is often bleeding under stress.

Many in the business claim the wider the jowl the better the racing potential in a horse. Heller gives credence to this in his comments on air intake in the sporting horse. 

To keep up with the play and and get the straight talk on the controversial drug lasix , read on. It's quite a fascinating work by an Eclipse award winning author. The price in New Zealand is $NZ 85, which includes air freight.
