surgery on a foal may not have an adverse affect on it's future performance but what about when it retires and bagins to breed? It perpetuates the problem of crooked foals that may not be able to run at all without surgical intervention. Look @ some of Real Quiets foals...not that his problems were ever a secret but breeding him is certainly not a good idea--I don't care what race he won...or his daughter either.
