Are horses running faster today? Yes and no.
As a fan of the sport for 30+ years, it seems
to me that horses are being bred and trained
to run faster, earlier, and then fade with age.
Can anyone run a 132 mile, and carry weight,
like Dr. Fager? No!! Hell, the handicap division for the last 20 years is a joke. Trainers are insulted if you ask their horses to carry anything over 126 lbs. With all
the rampant drug use, horses just break down.
