lenght of a horses career also depends on commercial appeal to breeders, and the breeding market itself. some months ago i showed after a bit of searching that when horses ran at four (such as real quiet, silver charm) the market was down...but when breeding is up, like it has been (altho i think it's in a downward trend) you have smarty jones, point given, afleet alex, fupeg, etc.
