I really think, with regard to thoroughbreds, the breeding/sales industry is way out of whack. There is never a reason to breed an unraced mare by a stallion who stands for less than $25k. Period. There is no reason to breed a mare who didn't win an allowance race and is by a stallion that stands for less than $5k. If the stallion farms were a bit stricter about the types of mares they accept, the number of foals would go way down. It is up to the racing industry to save itself.
