There is a big difference in how you get a baby ready to sell or to race.

I'm not way off here. Not only do I buy horses at these sales but we sell them too. If a horse has an injury, we will back of and withdraw him from the sale.

They will often times back off if the horse has issues. If the horse has sore shins they will go on with him. But if the horse has a serious problem, they will back off. Nobody is going to buy a horse with a serious problem.
