Bred to Breed, Not to Race

Or, all that's wrong with racing: "Steve Asmussen, the trainer of Curlin, was even more blunt. 'Realistically, these aren't racehorses,' he said. 'They're breeding stock, and someone lets you run them for a little while'" (NY Times). Perhaps Steven Crist's fantastical vision of "stallions-in-training sales" isn't so far off (DRF).
