Effect of No-Lasix Experiment on Handle
« on: January 21, 2020, 01:52:48 PM »
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?

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?

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.

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.
