What happened to horses

with all this polytrack BS and them running every once in a while? What happened to horses running 3 times a week carrying 150lbs? Not a damn one seems to race for more than a year.

IM MAD

1) Inbreeding has produced some unsoundness. 2)They are pushed hard earlier to get ready for yearling sales 3) The really good ones are worth more as stallions then they ever could make on the track....of course that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.
