But there would be a cost, to start with. The title of the thread is crazy ideas. I dont think this is actually that crazy. Just thinking about the animals at the expense of money for a year.

horses already have the longest generation interval of any domesticated breed of animal...like it or not horseracing is a business first and foremost...pushing things back a year is not good for business. and there are plenty of other breeds and disciplines that train and show 2YO's competitively...
