[QUOTE="StrojanHerefords, post: 1802997, member: 42988"] Part of the issue with thoroughbred horses might be the amount of care they receive. Horses that would have died without modern veterinary care go to the racetrack where latent issues crop up. With stud fees of $250,000 for a live foal, every measure is taken to keep them alive. Over the years, this effect is multiplied as stallions and mares with weak constitutions are propagated in an effort to breed the fastest horse. [/QUOTE]
