Drug Free Racing

[The Indomitable DrugS]

I know that.

I think the drugs are the reason why their is an emphasis on speed in the pedigrees....that's my point.

And to further prove your point, the smallest crop ever foaled was the 1919 crop (two years after Man O' War) with just 1,665 horses. There are roughly seven times as many humans with trainers license now than horses than.

The star of that crop (11-for-11 at age two, and won his 3yo debut in the Kentucky Derby to go 12-for-12) was the very modestly bred Morvich. The first Cal Bred to ever win the Derby.

As I remember, his father was a very modest horse who couldn't stay, and his mother never won a race.
