2-3 year old horses are not mature enough to race hard or put through the extensive training they go through,when are people going to learn ,a tragic waste of of a beautiful animal just for money
Sharyl, so true. However, please keep in mind that horseracing is a gambling industry and gambling is ALL about the money. Since racing can’t be reformed, it must “die in the dirt” the same way that many of the horses do.
