I mean there aren't any trainers out there abusing this, are there?

Again, unless you have personally worked for the 3 trainers you named, you make assumptions. How do you know that they are not considered on an individual basis? None of the 3 you mentioned typically deal with well-bred stock and 2 handle a lot of claiming types.

A more head-on approach to this discussion would be to put you in the hot seat. What are indications are acceptable to you when considering castrating a horse?

Hough has had a few well bred ones for Robsham. . . DC and Sargent Seattle off the top of my head. . . Didn't geld either one of them but DC only raced once with him and Sargent Seattle ran really big in his debut and then sucked in his only other start.
