If your type of thinking started permeating the horsey landscape, the Ky Derby would quickly drop to a new Classic distance. "Can this sprinter actually go a grueling 8f?" After all, most start out as good sprinters, why try longer distances?
For god's sake show me where these rich blah blah's are tripping over their feet to ruin their horses? Show me one instance, damn it. Statements as yours are a disservice to the sport and industry.
May they all come home safely!
