While i do Not agree with Peta & Their Supporters & think personally that they should be put in a truck with a pipe from the exhaust to the back of the truck
......uuuuuuuummmmmmmmmm i Digress ,
I do feel ( At the risk of being booed ) that we have strayed way to far in the chase for speed in the durability of racehorses, with conformation faults commonplace " i go to the sales now & if i see a horse without any i think slow horse" it was while i was listening to one of your shows steve with the bloke who has storm cat that i thought gee we really are getting carried away with times in the end does it matter what time the horse wins by ? or that so long as it wins
.
I would like to see the german attitude with racing taken where a stallion cant stand unless its won a major race & mustnt have major confirmation fault sure it might make the racing slower but maybe not
.
Side note unfortunately seen quite a few racehorses break down nothing could have stopped the unfortunate accident with eight belles with 500 & up kilos on a bone no bigger than the size of two of your fingers under increased pressure one fetlock snaps forcing the horse at speed onto the other fetlock which snaps as well
