Horse Racing App Developer Says 'No Triple Crown Winners Since LASIX' - Published on 05/30/14

Horse Races NOW iPhone app developer and world class horse trainer Kenny McPeek is hesitant to say California Chrome will be horse racing's next Triple Crown winner in over 30 years. "Since Affirmed won in 1978, the use of Lasix has been available to horses in racing and no horse has won the Triple Crown since that time." Users of the Horse Races NOW app have access to more than 50 racetracks. Live and replay video is available on iPhones, iPads, iPod touch and Android devices worldwide.

Elmont, New York - World-class horse trainer Kenny McPeek is hesitant to say California Chrome will be horse racing's next Triple Crown winner in over 30 years. "Since Affirmed won in 1978, the use of Lasix has been available to horses in racing and no horse has won the Triple Crown since that time."

Lasix is a veterinarian administered race-day medication that works as a diuretic, making horses lighter before their race. "I think it will be difficult for California Chrome to beat the competition when running on Lasix for three consecutive races in a short period of time," says McPeek.

McPeek has been training Thoroughbred racehorses since 1985. As Founder and CEO, he manages McPeek Racing Stable which currently has 130 horses in training. McPeek has won over 155 stakes races, including the Grade 1 Belmont and Travers Stakes and has more than 1,350 winners earning more than $60 million in purses.
