Good discussion guys.Interesting articles, In my mind I've always been opposed to racing two-year olds, but I don't know much about the industry so my opinion doesn't hold much weight. I wonder at what age training/racing would become less beneficial and more detrimental? I'd also like to see some studies on the same subject published by someone not so closely tied into the racing industry. Because we all know where the Blood Horse & JC's best intrests lie.
So if they are not breakng down from being raced so young, why the hell are they breaking down? Modern medicine? I think the cycle of 'race them until they break down then breed them' is really weakening the breed. Modern medicine has kept many a horse from euthenasia, that 50 years ago would have died & been kept out of the breeding pool. Are we so good at keeping horses alive that were making pansy asses out of them? Anyways, just my two cents.
