The vast majority of races in this country, whether on real dirt, grass or synthetic, are run under 8f. With that in mind, why would anyone breed a horse for a distance that they are only eligible for one time in their career unless they run on the grass?

That was my thougth exactly. Plus how often could you run a horse who is running 12F races? Still have to pay the vet and the feed and the stall, etc The casual owner wants to see his horse run more than 3 or 4 times a year.
