[QUOTE="sunnyblueskies, post: 1803063, member: 39112"] They are raced too young, when their bone structure isn't strong enough yet for the amount of force on the bones and ligaments. Just look at the structure of the race horse today compared to secretariat and before, today they are highbred athletic skinny machines. I'm wondering and maybe it's a question for you guys who follow the racing world, but is it a north American bred race horse problem? Or do the British and Continental European races face the same high mortality rate? [/QUOTE]
