These races are no more rhan paid workouts.In the long run I think they even contribute to the fragility of the colts. So much presure to win early.Establishing foundation and giving a colt time to mature before cranking them up is lost while trying to win purses for insignafant reasons at distances more suited for 1/4 horses.
I agree pops. Let the horse mature. IMO it gives the horse a better opportunity to have a career in the sport vs a quick win.
