I find it very interesting that when a filly appears to lose a step, people start saying, "Oh she's thinking about making babies," while, when a colt loses a step, no one ever says, "Oh, he wants to hurry up and start his stud career."
Seriously people, they're horses. I think it's very unlikely they even associate mating with procreation, let alone their performance on a racetrack.
