There is no doubt that over breeding is a huge problem, but to come down on the regional State-Breds isn't the answer.

The question to ask is: Are Statebred programs encouraging the right owners to participate in the sport, or would racing(horses) be better off without the programs?
Do you feel state programs are attracting the types of owners that can help the sport recover?
