I can only try and explain myself. Which isn't always easy It refers to speed (mph), distance, repetitivity of activity.

Steve talked about this (racing 2-year-olds and breakdowns) with Dr. Allday once on ATR, I think post-Derby last year - if he can remember which show, maybe he could reference that replay, as Dr. Allday covered why it is important to race (or work as if racing) 2-year-olds.

Those interested can go to http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez
