Beyer is just another media hack who is being paid to cover up the real issues by those with a financial interest to do so. If selective breeding is supposed to produce a better horse, then how come we've gone from Kelso winning the JCGC at 2 miles under 130 pounds to runners who can barely stagger 10 furlongs? How come European runners can routinely race at 12-16 furlongs without breaking down? Maybe it's because they don't allow or tolerate drugs being given to their runners like they were M&Ms. Folks unless this industry can come to grips with the fact that the American Way of medicating and doping runners and breeding horses with roid-damaged genes is the crux of the problem, you will never solve the problem and you will continue to have more breakdowns. Americans like to think that they're the center of the horse racing world but it's becoming clear that it is now the bottom of the barrel.
