Specific to the real-world of horse racing, many folks have long said America should follow Britain’s example and not allow a horse to race until 5 years old and physically mature and with a stable bone structure, especially in the legs. Running two-year olds and the Derby at 3 is what’s killing ’em.
My folks had Thorobreds when I was a kid and though the powers that be didn’t support her, our trainer also didn’t run horses too early and wanted change, that was in the early 1950’s!
The profit margin issue, regardless the cost of previous failures, does kinda’ sum up Trump though.
