an example...
a well bred filly turns up with a HORRIBLE throat at the yearling sale...the owners knew on the farm that her throat was bad and that she was a 'roarer' when she exercised but they took their chances @ auction...
her mother was a really good runner who has not thrown more than a maiden winner in 10 or so foals...her daddy was a first crop stud (who has gotten some big runners this season)...
as expected, that filly RNA'd...and knowing that she wasn't going to be able to breathe they decided not to try to train he for racing...
so what did they do? Well, she's due to foal in april...she will be 3 yrs and 1 month old when she becomes a mommy....

she should have been culled....

And if you think that is bad then what about the same type filly that is NOT well bred that is in the same situation. Those kind keep getting bred too.

Oh I know...I was just giving the first filly example that popped in my head...it's bad either way.
