I just know some large animal vets, some trainers from a small track, and the equisterian types of riders that dont understand the chances taken with two year olds.

So I pose this as a question that is way too radical apparently and never discussed... ? that in itself is interesting.

Your thought is reactionary, and while obviously there are some threads of truth within it, taken as a whole it is pretty much a perversion of the truth. Personally I find a naive selectivity about what is wrong with racing, while ignoring the similar supposed wrongs, to be hypocritical. But, hey, that's just me.

A perversion of what truth?

And this is not a thread about what is wrong with racing as a whole. Just one little aspect that has been brought to light to me by others that are around horses. And are interested in their longterm health in their "profession".

I actually think its neat how incredibly fast some two year olds can run. It is amazing.
