My point is that if the industry would institute a minimum age for breeding to begin, then owners would be more inclined to run their horses for a longer period of time. Why not make the official minimum breeding age of 5 years? This will help the more recognizable horses stay in the limelight a little longer, and allow fans to be more appreciative of their skills and careers.
I have been to most of the tracks you listed.. some are great, some are ok, and some aren't so great.

Punishment should be worthy of an infraction, When you cheat the betting public and your fellow trainers/jockeys/owners, you should be JAILED, not fined/suspended. If racing officials and law enforcement would get in line on this "white collar" crime, then racing might remove the stigma of a cheaters paradise.
For a sample of the cheating that is accepted by this industry, take a look at the links here,
