The truth is that when racing 2 year olds, financially it is more important to cull your horses that cant run instead of actually earning any money by racing them. Something like 11% of the purse money is for 2 year olds. It just makes the process too long and costly to be holding onto horses for 3 years before they have any chance to earn. The training expense will kill you.
