[QUOTE="UDF, post: 1803482, member: 43053"] Most of ya might not remember or know that they use to race Yearling QH..They finally learned and stopped that in 1983... Yes Babies with open knees. Who should be just playing in the fields with friends. Why did they race them ? for the all mighty dollar! But they still race 2yr olds.. And that is still not great.. Heck even 3yrolds can still have open knees.. Sadly they will never change NOT racing 2 yr olds.. Again the money... Racing is a very dirty game.. And if you run a clean horse ,you will not win. If there are 10 horses in a race 9 are dirty in a way that can't be traced. I can go on and on about this , we were in the racing biz. for a bit. They were using elephant tranquilizer on races horses , they weren't testing for it ,and it worked different on a horse it fires the body ,The big issues was sometimes the horse would just stand in the starting gate with it's eyes spinning! Unpredictable .. This was in the 80's they might test for it now. There was always something new being concocted.. When we ran it was purely on the horse and 60 cc of honey .. Ya'll don't hear about all the other tracks , that have young stock breaking down.. OK rant over,,, [/QUOTE]
