I don't know much about horse structure of legs or physiology of the horse. What for the life of me I don't understand in these discussions that always come up when this happens is how is it more stressful for a filly to say run 1:50 for 9f and winning by 1 length against girls than running 1:50 for 9f and losing by 2 lengths against boys? I honestly don't see how one event is different than the other. I think running period is stressful to a thoroughbred. I saw Go For Wand break down against her own sex...I saw Pine Island break down against her own sex. I saw Fleet Indian break down against her own sex. None of the boys had run 10f either and most had only run 9f one single time. It isn't stressful for them?? I honestly don't get your argument too much.
