I guess what I am saying is that I don't think competing in the TC races ruined the career of horses like Point Given, Afleet Alex, Empire Maker, and Jazil......but if I am wrong and it did ruin the rest of their career......it was still worth it.
i don't think running in the tc races ruined point givens career, i think winning the preakness belmont dandy and travers ruined his career. winning the belmont and being by unbridled ruined empire makers career--altho running on that foot in the derby could have ruined the horse.
