Worth a read IMHO. He makes some very good points.

Agreed... my only concern is, how can you fix it? Certainly there are steps that can be taken that would help... outlawing steroids is a no-brainer. But the bigger issue is, how do you eliminate the incentives that encourage breeders to continue along the same path they're on?

I thnk the market might take care of itself. If enough of unbridled song's break down in high profile races..........the prices go down........ I am sure this one didn't help USongs fortunes for the future. But I am sure there are some out there that will still take the chance to breed to him, even considering the unsoundness that might go along with it

I wish you were right, but I can't help but think that people are still going to spend 7 figures on the 2yos that can do a furlong in 9 seconds, regardless of how sturdy his pedigree looks.
