Rome might be burning, Dray, but to leave the entire load on the hormone issue is incorrect. Take into account that horse's worth sometimes becomes too great to stay in training. People love to end careers on a high note such that stud or breeding value are at it's highest. Surface changes, Training and breeding differences. Inbreeding of any sort is bad for anything. I am happy that my great great grandpa isn't on both of my parent's lineage. I'm thrilled that more horses don't have 2 heads. The more in or line breeding that happens, IMO.. the weaker the breed.. though I am no expert.

You're right. I mentioned things like other drugs, undisclosed surgeries, heck, there is plenty of blame to go around.

It can be a hek of a business, BUT as compared to what I witnessed this week, racing is far from the greatest evil with all of it's shortcomings.
