<But to assume that building more speed into the breed and less stamina, would result in horses running 10 marks at speed figures representing 10 lengths faster than the last generation, is not a conclusion that I can draw. And I don't see how you can draw it. >
Jim - I didn't draw that conclusion. You have a stunning ability to read right past the point. I wrote - "we are seeing the breed as a whole somewhat faster than it was years ago and also more fragile." I did write that I thought Jerry was right but I have no way to quantify to what degree. I wrote somewhat with regard to the crops as a whole - I'll leave the degree to which that is the case to the experts. I don't make figures and I'm not qualified to comment, but if I thought Jerry were way off base I would never use the product. I do. It's only my opinion but I think there is ample evidence to support it.
