these trainers are not gelding the colts to "save the breed", or "ensure a good home"...
They are gelding them for their Racing operation, and most often for a short-term benefit. Some geld off a claim.
There is a benefit for racing(or training and and caring for the animal between races), that is percieved by the gelders. They geld the horse and put it on a steroid regimine. Steroids aren't illegal for colts, so steroids aren't the reason. Something in the Behavior is percieved as a benefit.
