Horses bleed, Casse believes, because of the way they run. It is a back-and-forth motion which compresses their body's organs and sends blood pressure from the back of the animal to the front and back again with every stride. His stable is diligent about checking for signs of bleeding, scoping horses after every workout over 1/2 mile and after every race. Lasix has been proven to help control bleeding in horses, so Casse believes in using it for that reason. Even if it is a performance enhancer, he reasons, every horse is allowed to use it so “everybody has an equal playing field.”
