Agree completely, Sniper. Restricting breeding is not unheard of. They do not allow artificial insemination, for example. Yet whenever the idea of restricting breeding until a horse is 5 is brought up, people say it wouldn't be fair to the owners/breeders. Meanwhile, the sport seems to be in a downward spiral that will eventually do in the owners/breeders anyway. Or maybe it will be reduced to the sheiks racing against each other in the deserts of the Middle East.
