You're forgetting the part AFTER that where he said that she stumbled and stumbling on any surface would have likely have caused the fractures.

But getting back to what Larry and Jerry said. Hay, oats and water. I mean horses were running fine for generations on this remedy. Then drugs kick in and all of a sudden we have horses that rarely see a 4YO season. It is like even if a horse retires at age three sound the owners/breeders want to get it off the track before the gross handicap/ inferiority gene kicks in.
