but unraced doesn't necessarily mean unraceable-or indicate lack of pedigree. one example is storm and a half -- unraced, for standing in arkansas, he's had a pretty good year. another case in point would be marylou whitney, she doesn't run many of her fillies, but she's got a heck of a broodmare band. also, cheap doesn't always mean bad, they can't all stand for high amounts. also, you would drive out many smaller operations with the types of rules you're suggesting, and smaller outfits can produce some good quality horses. most states who encourage horsemen and breeding don't have horses that stand for the sums you're tossing around. you'd have a few huge farms in kentucky that would continue to operate, but most breeding nationwide would be shut down if they had to follow those types of guidelines.
