Supply and demand is what makes any industry go round. This particular industry has very little going for it other than the degenerate gamblers... Too many unsound, suspect horses are floating around racing at garbage tracks and breeding to far too many mares. The field sizes are too small, there are too many races at too many tracks, purses are too small, cost of operation are too high, taxes are too much, insurance premiums are outrageous. As it is its a losing proposition for many/most involved. It has to be changed.
Yeah she will sell for the same...

That particular owner is in his 80's and his trainer is retiring but of course you knew this and chose to ignore facts when you can shoot off your theories.

You must be a democrat. You say how screwed up and expensive thinbgs are then decide to over regulate "for our own good", ignoring the fact that there is no valid reason to believe that your "idea" will actually accomplish anything except chase more owners away and cripple the breeding industry. Not to mention the fact that 3 and 4 year old mares are far healthier and more able to carry foals and give birth with less issues than older mares. Of course this is not important for you because you have a theory...
