Second phase of breaking a Thoroughbred yearling colt. This series of videos follows this colt's preparation for a racing career in Southern California
That's a nice tall colt. My wife's old TB was 18.2 hands at maturity. He was 16 hands when she bought him at 9 months of age. She had him for 33 years; he died in 2007 at age 34. He weighed 1600 pounds, was a chestnut, and was called Big Red (not his registered name). He never raced, but could jump anything you aimed him at.
Nice tall colt? Where is this "tall" colt??? The animal in the video is average sized. If he wasn't his legs would be longer. Short compared to a friend's 17hh racer. Btw, about this 18.2hh "Thoroughbred" your wife had. Was the person who told you he was 18.2hh stoned, drunk or mentally challenged? Or was the animal some sort of a fantasy beast? Thoroughbreds ****don't*** get to 18.2hh. The highest acknowledged height is 17hh.
@Charity Ville The tallest I've ever heard of was Holy Roller who was 18.1hh and raced in Australia. Some of his races are on youtube, he's almost comically bigger than his competition.
@@charityville7562 you cannot control the height of all horses in this world. It is similar like you tell people that an average height of human is 180 cm. It will not taller than this. But some people are 190-200 cm +
I have a mare by the name of Mercedes Mystery - this mare has taught me so much to the point I'm selling my home in Chicago and going to SD to start a 5013c for rescue for OTTB so they can be retrained for new career . These horses are way underestimated !
WOW. What a well behaved intelligent thoroughbred. I guess he has the bloodlines of War Admiral? Probably need him to get some weight and muscles at the shoulders, ribs and hindquarters. But he will grow into it i guess as he is a big dude. Repetition is the mother of all learning. Slow progress enables small changes that lead to greatness. All the best. Love the videos by the way. Something nice and unique.
+Ethan H He arrived at Santa anita yesterday. Just a tad more weight will be good but body condition score 4 is the ideal and he's pretty close to that. Google "horse body condition score" for a great explanation. It can affect your handicapping. Off to the barn now, Ciao!
Just thought I'd say, lovely work. The calm in your voice carried over to your gentleman Angel, and through the two of you to young Lord Admiral, who is just wonderful. Seeing this, if I were in the market, I'd be asking you to find me a young or not-so-young horse to start her right under saddle for a pleasure hack, even though I know you're a racehorse trainer.
Nice looking colt you got there! He's got a really nice gait to him. I'm really glad to see that you guys are taking the time to really teach this horse before throwing him out on the track. I've gotten WAY too many ottbs that don't know jack from shit other than to runs as fast as possible. He's a nice mover and a flashy colt. After his race career he'd make a nice three day horse or jumper. Great job!
Jay C. Nehf He's got the talent for it. His gait is naturally elevated. He's look stunning collected up and working over the flat in a dressage test. He's got the height for XC. And I think he'd probably laugh at anything you threw at him in stadium jumping. If you ever decided to turn him into an event horse, I think you might end up with an easy three star horse. Seriously, he's got what it takes build wise. If he's got the drive to match it, that colt will turn some heads.
Dear Jay~ I thoroughly enjoyed your video of this very well-behaved young mammal/ a TB racehorse (prospect)!! I watched it several times. I had no problems with the starting of, Lord Admiral. Some peoples can comment though, few understand how much energy, time for waiting for them to come to even the two-year old year. They can even hurt themselves at home in their own stall, familar surroundings paddock or as a foal, their Mom..can step on them and give them what is called a..'calcium deposit from where the body sends calcium there to heal where she has stepped on their up above their ankle to sometimes up a little higher. I had that happen to our (3-way investment of a beautiful Bay very tall and thin type of filly by: Opening Verse out of Bold Caress. She foaled out in a huge aisle way of a large barn. she was a huge mare. Though, things happen in life. I send you, your farm & ALL the employees & Equids much love & "positive energy'! Hoping on this day, of 9-14-2016, that you, and your family of peeps & animals are ALL WELL!! Stay SAFE!! Rebecca Hill ~
Thank you for the lovely sentiments. I spent many years in the breeding business and foaled several hundred mares, bred to some real champions- Northern Dancer, Seattle Slew, Spectacular Bid, Raise A Native among others. I shudder to think of the things that can happen. Makes you really appreciate the veterinarians who never quit no matter how bad the situation. You really develop a sense of the responsibility we assume when we have horses. You never just walk away or give up. You stick with them to the end and give them everything you've got. You owe it to them.
Nice colt, tall drink of water. Enjoyed watching this. Sorry your peanut gallery is off a bit here, tis youtube. Seems like a sound way to get going - I don't usually do this till later but I'm not racing either. Thanks for the video and your patience.
I can't afford perfection and I wouldn't trade him anyway. I believe he'll do just fine but only time will tell. thanks for watching and commenting Katz!
Seems too soon, doesn't it? But, the equine veterinarian that was my college advisor felt it was best to give them light to moderate work at two; this gave their joints a chance to gradually adjust to the stresses of hard training and racing. I feel he was right about that; and the trend these days is to race them far less at two then they used to, especially Standardbreds.
Hey! I'm really wanting to work with other people's horses and become a trainer, but I really want to do the Bluebonnet Rescue Horse Challenge.. Any tips for breaking and training a rescue horse in a few days?
That's not my area of expertise but I've read some amazing things that people are doing with these retired Thoroughbreds. My advice is be patient, firm and gentle... and read "The Nature of Horses" by Stephen Budiansky.
Hi! I bought a toroughbred english. He stayed for 2 years, and now I worked with him for about 45 minutes, and the next day he couldn't step on his right front leg. Does he have a medical problem because he was used to racing? Thanks also congratulations for what you do with the horses!
He is fantastic to be around- MOST of the time! but when he gets wound up you really have to watch it. He will kick but not maliciously. Every morning when I enter his stall he rubs his forehead on my back or shoulder. And he loves Cynci and his veterinarian, Dr. Birch. He's really very affectionate. If he lets you in the club it's a great feeling.
Very nice youngster you have there, very balanced, good mover, picks up the lead in the front and back correctly, no cross cantering Without making this too long, there are many pros and cons of the racing world. The thing most people forget is horse racing is a Business! These people spend $$$ on horses, top notch feed, vets, chiropractic, acupuncture, top training facilities with equine pools, etc... So they breed these horses and all the blood, sweat, and tears all hoping they will have a champion. The odds of success vs. mediocrity is staggering. Racing has a lot of great horse people who know what they are doing, but alot of them don't. Most people shouldn't purchase /adopt an off the track TB, unless they are a very EXPERIENCED horse person! These are hot bloods, that can go from calm to crazy in a mili-second. They need daily work for months to get them back to basics, and lots of time in a pasture with other horses, so they can be Horses again!!! (too much isolation in a box stall) There's negative issues all over the horse world, but I think racing gets it a tad more because of the televised Triple crown races, and the media showing the tragedies.
Thank you Cheryl. It is so nice to get comments like yours; thoughtful, intelligent and well said. We are fortunate to have so many viewers like you who take the time comment.
understood jay. I jus had him singled in pk 3 for a ton of doe... he had a digression second time out. wat is the plan now to break maiden. seemed to relish lawn
I told Talamo to make his own choice based on the way things set up and the way the horse felt to him. We know now this horse needs to settle outside or on the lead where he can use his great stride( over 26 feet) to best advantage. Also, it was 11 months of hard training and LA was showing some wear and tear so we gave him a generous 60 days off in a nice grassy pasture. But he is coming back way stronger than I thought he would and I will keep you guys posted on progress. New video next week. Broke my heart too when he finished 2nd. I would have cashed a big one as well!
Loved your video Jay, what happens to the horses that can't run. How much is generally asked for an all around good horse that can't run? Who purchases them? Thanks!
There are several non-profit organizations that find homes for... let's call them out of work racehorses! You can google racehorse adoption and you will find several organizations that could help you. Because Thoroughbred racing requires a horse's utmost performance, things that might prevent racing are often quite workable in other equine sports. So many retirees go on to productive and long careers in jumping, dressage, and so on.
gael crane newvocation.com is really a nice place to get a Thoroughbred which may or may not have raced. They are not in it for the money like some other "rescues." ;-)
Hi Muriel and thanks for commenting and watching. I can only speak for Thoroughbred racing; every different breed and sport will have its own twist on the breaking process but ultimately, we are getting the horse used to having a rider on its back. But the process starts as soon as the foal is born. They get a halter put on, they are lead around with the mother and they get used to being handled. "Breaking" is just the next step in which we put on the saddle and bridle and then put up the rider. The researchers call it "desensitization" and that pretty well describes it. Some people are better and more sensitive than others and even in Thoroughbred racing there will be significant differences from trainer to trainer.
This is the normal time that Thoroughbreds are started. After a couple of weeks of schooling they start slow gallops at about 25 mph. Once they can do that comfortably, 4 to 6 weeks, we use a special program to prepare them for the intensive training of race preparation. That program is the Maryland Shin Program. It's 17 weeks of carefully controlled applications of medium speed, :15 second furlongs (1 f=1/8 mile, :15 seconds = 30 mph), and progressively longer distances. The program is based on 11 years of research at Penn's New Bolton Vet school. Unfortunately, very few trainers use this program but we find it very effective in preventing injuries. Once that's finished, it can take another 90 days of higher speed work outs to get a horse to its first race.
what a big colt! but a pretty quiet baby, very pretty light bay color and he is very smart with his feet for a colt , very smooth gaits as well only thing is he is only a yearling.. you shouldn’t be starting him under at such a young age it’s not good for the horse
Thanks for posting this. I'm a real big racing fan but don't have much knowledge of these kinds of things. What is this horse's status today, as of January 2017?
I just posted a new video a few minutes ago- Lord Admiral: 2017, damn the torpedoes! search this and it will give you the latest news. Thanks for watching.
lolol I have never even owned a horse and have only ridden once. These newer methods of "breaking" horses have to be one of the least abusive thing I've seen people do to animals. The boy is just running/walking in circles with ropes on him.😂 As a human that's boring as heck but it does remind me of making kids run the mile on a round track.🤷🏿♀️
This is how u break a horse u need it to trust I first or it wil buck rear and kick at u and be frightened and u need to spend everyday with it petting and coaxing the horse
Annie, you can't imagine how much time I spend with this guy. He's like a big brother, a really BIG brother. I get a hug from him first thing every morning.
Jay C. Nehf well thank u for letting me now that cause I have my own mustangs I broke them in 3 days flat!The thing is that I'm 11 and I did that without help
i feel low from that - WE dont trust them attitudes, when they get stronger 6 years stallion, on tracks - they fight again - and its not you whom they target, its the jockys, and the staff. trust is all we needs from the breeders, bye
Oh quit the melodrama chump. Look at the video on Nearcolus' retirement- among many, many others. Either you're spouting off with nno knowledge of the subject or you're just plain lying.
It would be better if the trainer leant how to lunge properly and stop still in the centre of the circle and not put the lunge rein on the bit ,the horse is too young , let him learn to walk trot etc in a circle before you start using side reins .
please don't use bits it hurts the horse. THE HORSE IS IN PAIN that he has to hold his head in such an unnatural way in order to minimise the pain from the bit. and for what? this is torture
James, a properly fitted and handeled bit is not a pain-inflicting device. With the type of bit we use the horse actually presses the bit against the front of the molars, limiting the amount of pressure exerted on the jaw infront of the molars. Close examination of the teeth of an older horse wil show signs of wear from the bit.
I am posting a new videos we speak and I will link to a video about bits. It is somewhat limited however. The rider's touch is of the utmost importance.
is no one seeing the bad stuff. No of course not. 1 the horse is 1 and a half years old that is to young 2 if you are gonna break a horse why woeld you put it in a stal that is not mutch bigger than the horse .sad.3 the horse oh sorry FOAL is not ready it's freaking 1 and a half years old people.
Lara Van der Velden u don’t know anything about a horse getting them used to people as they are young helps them wen they are older because if they race it it might kill them because they didn’t train it wen it’s young so learn and think before u think
Lara Van der VeldenIt is reasonable that different folks have different feelings on this question. Actually, there is a lot of room here as different breeds develop a bit differently. Different horses, just like different people, develop and mature at different speeds. There is a lot 'different' in this email as well. Anyway, here is the way I like to see it happen; foals get handled and imprinted at birth, then get halter broke and trained to lead (with their mares) quickly. After that they are left alone with their mares and the herd with only a little handling to reinforce their initial conditioning to be handled by humans. Weaning takes place at 6 months to a year of age. Yearlings get handled on the ground regularly and begin light ground schooling once a week or so. They can be saddled but not ridden. At two years most horses can have a first ride. Then only an occasional short ride (once a week or twice a month or so and brief) with more regular ground schooling until three years of age. At three years most horses are ready to begin a regular program of under saddle schooling. Those horses will be considered 'green' until they are close to 6 years of age. At 3 1/2 to four years a horse can have a job, like trailing cattle. This is good, steady work without a lot of stress, just miles. Some solid, regular schooling should be part of the program as well. If the horse were to be trained for competition of any sort, 2 1/2 to three years old is a good time to start, depending on the horse and the type of competition.
isnt starting them so young such criminal behavior-shame on you -this little warmblood TB of mine was backed at 4 for one week and ridden at early 7-how dare you overbreed these horses torture them as children and babies and toss them off to the kill pen when you have broken them all down shame shame shame you will pay karma for this!!!!!!
So clearly, you have not watched ALL the videos including the ones laying out his retirement. Excellent demonstration of your ignorance. You have made it clear that you know nothing of the physiology of the horse, for example, the stages of development and maturity. You have also made it clear that you know nothing about the reality of the racing industry and the funding for retirement, laws regarding retirement, and binding documents required of trainers by the race tracks and governing bodies of the sport. If you educate yourself before you comment again I will allow you to participate; otherwise it's just a click to block you.
understood jay. I jus had him singled in pk 3 for a ton of doe... he had a digression second time out. wat is the plan now to break maiden. seemed to relish lawn

I haven't seen it done right in twenty years. Thank you, gentlemen. Well done.
he's so smart..such good discipline..precious babies! whhhinney
Wow he's so pretty I love thoroughbreds 😍
Thank you Serena, we think so too :) Cynci
Nice looking horse ! I have OTTB the best horses been my best teacher and has given me a passion for TB .
It's a great breed, so much history and has contributed to the gene pools of many other breeds.
I have a mare by the name of Mercedes Mystery - this mare has taught me so much to the point I'm selling my home in Chicago and going to SD to start a 5013c for rescue for OTTB so they can be retrained for new career . These horses are way underestimated !
WOW. What a well behaved intelligent thoroughbred. I guess he has the bloodlines of War Admiral? Probably need him to get some weight and muscles at the shoulders, ribs and hindquarters. But he will grow into it i guess as he is a big dude. Repetition is the mother of all learning. Slow progress enables small changes that lead to greatness. All the best. Love the videos by the way. Something nice and unique.

He arrived at Santa anita yesterday. Just a tad more weight will be good but body condition score 4 is the ideal and he's pretty close to that. Google "horse body condition score" for a great explanation. It can affect your handicapping. Off to the barn now, Ciao!

Lovely words, thank you Erin. We adore Lad and are so grateful he is in our lives. Cynci
Thanks Erin, that's wonderful compliment.
good job Angel, you're the man...
Nice looking colt you got there! He's got a really nice gait to him. I'm really glad to see that you guys are taking the time to really teach this horse before throwing him out on the track. I've gotten WAY too many ottbs that don't know jack from shit other than to runs as fast as possible. He's a nice mover and a flashy colt. After his race career he'd make a nice three day horse or jumper. Great job!
You know, I'd really love to see him try the 3 Day Event too. I think you're right, he'd be great at it. It could happen.
Jay C. Nehf He's got the talent for it. His gait is naturally elevated. He's look stunning collected up and working over the flat in a dressage test. He's got the height for XC. And I think he'd probably laugh at anything you threw at him in stadium jumping. If you ever decided to turn him into an event horse, I think you might end up with an easy three star horse. Seriously, he's got what it takes build wise. If he's got the drive to match it, that colt will turn some heads.
We hope to retire him as a sound horse, so who knows?
Jay C. Nehf Well good luck to you both! I hope to see one or both of your names floating around the Three Day would someday!
He's amazing! All legs and so nice!

Nice dressage prospect right there. He's got the natural carriage for it.
Those long pasterns won't help him run faster, though.
I can't afford perfection and I wouldn't trade him anyway. I believe he'll do just fine but only time will tell. thanks for watching and commenting Katz!
He is very smart! The only problem I have with this is they start him when her is only a yearling so he’s not done growing.
Seems too soon, doesn't it?

this fella would make an amazing eventing horse if he ever retires with no injuries. wow
calming voice by the trainer
I have to Re-Break my OTTB. She is Man O’ War’s great something granddaughter. So wish me luck.
I can't believe it's been five years!
Lovely mover.i wonder where that beautifully broken horse is today
Beautiful animal! How is his career?
Gosh, he's retired now, learning to jump. He won at Delmar, mile turf
He was gelded .9 starts 1 win 1 second $49000.

i really like this horse a lot hes a nice horse all around good looks good movement very nice
An amazing horse. I've had devils on the end of my lunge before.

I wonder if he kept that yearling "downhill" conformation or if he outgrew it? Nice way of moving.

gael crane newvocation.com is really a nice place to get a Thoroughbred which may or may not have raced. They are not in it for the money like some other "rescues." ;-)
what is the blue thing around his neck
?
That is just an ID number the training center uses so no one makes a mistake and gets the wrong horse. The horses come and go a lot on these farms.
holy moly that horse is huge. O-O. I think Id stand somewhere at his shoulder.
I hope some day i get to make my horse dance and teach him how to do tricks.
That's a nice TB, big for a yearling.
Big indeed!
How often due you feed yearnings daily. At what ration.
Our yearlings are at a farm where I don't call the shots. I think most outfits feed them twice a day.
Dang he’s cute😍 He’s got some really nice movements!
Well thanks, and the horse is pretty cute too!
Im pretty new to this kind of thing. whats the point in breaking in a horse?
Hi Muriel and thanks for commenting and watching.

Some people are better and more sensitive than others and even in Thoroughbred racing there will be significant differences from trainer to trainer.
I may also say that if you don't do a good job of breaking the horse, the horse will break you!
Jay C. Nehf thanks!! and yeah i bet the horse will!. if your not careful..
Wow...very nice!
Magnificent.
Fascinating.
Thanks Karen
no hate, but isn't he a little young? or does it it take a couple years to train him?
This is the normal time that Thoroughbreds are started. After a couple of weeks of schooling they start slow gallops at about 25 mph. Once they can do that comfortably, 4 to 6 weeks, we use a special program to prepare them for the intensive training of race preparation. That program is the Maryland Shin Program.

He's beautiful!😍 makes me miss working with them!
great handling!
what a big colt! but a pretty quiet baby, very pretty light bay color and he is very smart with his feet for a colt , very smooth gaits as well only thing is he is only a yearling.. you shouldn’t be starting him under at such a young age it’s not good for the horse
Why do you measure in hands?
Uh... LOL because they've been doing it that way for several thousand years! I guess that was before they had inches and feet
thats how they are measured since time immemorial.....
Perfect horse but I don’t know why I love only quarter Horse😕
It's whatever gets into your blood first
Jay C. Nehf I agree with you
Santa Anita: is that the track where there area lot of racehorse deaths?
YEARLING?!?!
Damn let me know when you're retiring him lol
Brilliant speed..was 17.2..ok ..to get to 18..was not too far.but 18.is too much..
Yeah, he's a really big dude
What I don't like is they have to make ever thoroughbred a racehorse
Not every one races. In fact, most don't make it and become show jumpers, etc.
We'll get him a job at Apple or Google.
Red dead redemption has me interested in horses now.
Who?
Thanks for posting this. I'm a real big racing fan but don't have much knowledge of these kinds of things. What is this horse's status today, as of January 2017?
I just posted a new video a few minutes ago- Lord Admiral: 2017, damn the torpedoes! search this and it will give you the latest news. Thanks for watching.
Pretty horse
He sure is
lolol I have never even owned a horse and have only ridden once. These newer methods of "breaking" horses have to be one of the least abusive thing I've seen people do to animals. The boy is just running/walking in circles with ropes on him.😂 As a human that's boring as heck but it does remind me of making kids run the mile on a round track.🤷🏿♀️
2nd time out u couldn't find the bum
well im sure u bet across the board. my dumb ass didnt lol. ur in my stable. like ur style
Noiiiice mover
Riders said you couldn't feel him touch the ground. Wish I was young and fit enough to have gotten on myself.
This is how u break a horse u need it to trust I first or it wil buck rear and kick at u and be frightened and u need to spend everyday with it petting and coaxing the horse
Annie, you can't imagine how much time I spend with this guy. He's like a big brother, a really BIG brother. I get a hug from him first thing every morning.
Jay C. Nehf well thank u for letting me now that cause I have my own mustangs I broke them in 3 days flat!The thing is that I'm 11 and I did that without help
WHAT?!?! You're just 11? I think you have a career in equines ahead of you!
Jay C. Nehf thanks my dad calls me a horse whisperer
Jay C. Nehf and also I don't think I will have much of a career in that cause I don't have any people to sponsee me or whatever that is
How do you get ontop of a horse like that? That mofo tall as fuck lol
Marcel, notice that's NOT me getting on. LOL
OMG He's just a baby and they're making him run around in a circle.
GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY!!!! A CIRCLE!
pendroza or bejarono. spped jocks
i feel low from that - WE dont trust them attitudes, when they get stronger 6 years stallion, on tracks - they fight
again - and its not you whom they target, its the jockys, and the staff. trust is all we needs from the breeders, bye
and when the day comes they r not fast enough anymore they get dumped like garbage..
Oh quit the melodrama chump. Look at the video on Nearcolus' retirement- among many, many others. Either you're spouting off with nno knowledge of the subject or you're just plain lying.
the horse dont move normal - dont breek them get to know them, then they might do you won or ?????
It would be better if the trainer leant how to lunge properly and stop still in the centre of the circle and not put the lunge rein on the bit ,the horse is too young , let him learn to walk trot etc in a circle before you start using side reins .
please don't use bits
it hurts the horse.
THE HORSE IS IN PAIN that he has to hold his head in such an unnatural way in order to minimise the pain from the bit. and for what?
this is torture
James, a properly fitted and handeled bit is not a pain-inflicting device. With the type of bit we use the horse actually presses the bit against the front of the molars, limiting the amount of pressure exerted on the jaw infront of the molars. Close examination of the teeth of an older horse wil show signs of wear from the bit.
Thanks for the reply
I am posting a new videos we speak and I will link to a video about bits. It is somewhat limited however. The rider's touch is of the utmost importance.
I appreciate it
is no one seeing the bad stuff. No of course not. 1 the horse is 1 and a half years old that is to young 2 if you are gonna break a horse why woeld you put it in a stal that is not mutch bigger than the horse .sad.3 the horse oh sorry FOAL is not ready it's freaking 1 and a half years old people.
I also thought he's young, I think they should be around 4/5 years old before they start racing
Lara Van der Velden u don’t know anything about a horse getting them used to people as they are young helps them wen they are older because if they race it it might kill them because they didn’t train it wen it’s young so learn and think before u think
Lara Van der VeldenIt is reasonable that different folks have different feelings on this question. Actually, there is a lot of room here as different breeds develop a bit differently. Different horses, just like different people, develop and mature at different speeds. There is a lot 'different' in this email as well. Anyway, here is the way I like to see it happen; foals get handled and imprinted at birth, then get halter broke and trained to lead (with their mares) quickly. After that they are left alone with their mares and the herd with only a little handling to reinforce their initial conditioning to be handled by humans. Weaning takes place at 6 months to a year of age. Yearlings get handled on the ground regularly and begin light ground schooling once a week or so. They can be saddled but not ridden. At two years most horses can have a first ride. Then only an occasional short ride (once a week or twice a month or so and brief) with more regular ground schooling until three years of age. At three years most horses are ready to begin a regular program of under saddle schooling. Those horses will be considered 'green' until they are close to 6 years of age. At 3 1/2 to four years a horse can have a job, like trailing cattle. This is good, steady work without a lot of stress, just miles. Some solid, regular schooling should be part of the program as well. If the horse were to be trained for competition of any sort, 2 1/2 to three years old is a good time to start, depending on the horse and the type of competition.
You do understand that this is racing horse are trained at a very young age
@@l.wolfbrother1734 also if you start then the horse will be full grown and matureing which will make it 10x more dangerous and alot harder
ugliest horse I ever seen and slowest time for slaughtering house for him seems like owners make him look good
So Garrett, how many horses have you seen? Tell us what your credentials are.
@@JayCNehfracing I think he has never seen a horse before, tbh
He would enjoy what he's doing even more if the surcingle reins weren't so tight😂😂
isnt starting them so young such criminal behavior-shame on you -this little warmblood TB of mine was backed at 4 for one week and ridden at early 7-how dare you overbreed these horses torture them as children and babies and toss them off to the kill pen when you have broken them all down shame shame shame you will pay karma for this!!!!!!
So clearly, you have not watched ALL the videos including the ones laying out his retirement. Excellent demonstration of your ignorance. You have made it clear that you know nothing of the physiology of the horse, for example, the stages of development and maturity. You have also made it clear that you know nothing about the reality of the racing industry and the funding for retirement, laws regarding retirement, and binding documents required of trainers by the race tracks and governing bodies of the sport. If you educate yourself before you comment again I will allow you to participate; otherwise it's just a click to block you.
understood jay. I jus had him singled in pk 3 for a ton of doe... he had a digression second time out. wat is the plan now to break maiden. seemed to relish lawn
