Beyerguy,
On humans and other species you are correct, on horses you are wrong. Horse are NOT bigger or heavier/stronger today.With the exception of BR this year, horses like Fager and Sec make most of todays runners look like ponies, size wise.
The big ones used to be 17 hands and 1200 pounds back then and thats what they are now. I believe JB got caught up in the "improved species" theory without doing the research,I did. They are not bigger, stronger and imo not faster, sandy tracks et al.
