As I said, different breeders have different views. Both of my mares raced.
Both won. And both made very nice babies.

like i said, depends on who you ask. i've seen arguments for both sides. seems for every hard-raced blue hen mare, you have the counter of hard raced and poor broodmares...and the bluehens who never stepped foot on a track. or the 'slow' mares who breed fast babies. but seems to me, just like in many things, there are no hard and fast rules for what's best for a filly.
