I think it's difficult - they can be worth SO much money it's ridiculous, you can kind of see why people would retire them early - and also, if you've got a sprinter it can bang out two/three times a month easily, whereas a longer distance horse would need longer between races.

I just think it's a bit sad, you have a racehorse to go racing with, why wouldn't you want to see it doing what it was bred for and doing the job you bought it for! Guess that's the difference with a small owner to a big one though, it's business for them more than pleasure?
