Racing doesnt ruin their.careers. success, breeder demand, and disparity between pursrs ajd stud fees ruins their racing careers. Making easier racing only makes it easier for less hardy animals to do enough to get them into a shed, thus further hurting the breed itself. Two of last years classic winners remain in training.
Its funny, i saw a comment the other day that suggested will take charge would race too much this year.
Hmmm..
Just visited bloodhorse, with articles about verrazano, third in europe, and revolutionary who won the special. Those two, and others in the special ran in last years classics. With breeders going with tried and true studs right now, youre not seeing the demand for fresh faces in the barn...so they stay in training.
