YouDontNeedToKnowWhoIAm asked:
I think horses under four years old should not begin training, let alone racing. After Barbaro passed away two years ago and after Eight Belles was euthanized by injection on the track on May 3 at the 2008 Kentucky Derby; both due to severe leg fractures and brakes. If their was an age requirement less racing accidents like this would happen. What are your thoughts about making an age requirement for racehorses?

look it’s just bad luck, would you ban all car drivers under 17, look how many die on our roads. babies die at birth,it maybe years before another horse breaks down, that’s life
