Pile on.

I love the posters that post factually inaccurate information, and then when professionals expose its flaws, play the martyr act.

That's the stuff I love!

No you dont. Read your own posts.

The martyr act... Just a bit of an exaggeration.

I think that racing two year olds in shorter distance races is probably beneficial to them. I used to be under the same thinking as Pgardn (because I'm from a hunter/jumper background), but after seeing the studies done in regards to young thoroughbreds and what is needed for proper bone development, I changed my mind. I am concerned about racing two year olds in races like the BC Juvy (for example.) I'm not sure that it's good for them to be under a hard gallop for that long...

Didn't someone post on here (maybe Pais?) that they didn't start a young horse until their knees were closed? That was always my main concern.
