Keeping a fit horse from racing doesn't improve his chances of avoiding injury in future races or future training. And lessens his chances of becoming a capable race horse.

Once they're ready to race ... they should race ... not hide out in the stable.

BB,
I agree with you on that. Once they've gotten off to a good start, they should run. Total agreement.
I was just saying that it depends on the horse. Some are able to start sooner than others.
