I was a horse race fan until I visited Church Hill Downs and got real close to the horses. They are very young and frail looking. That is not evident when you watch them on TV. They are very skittish and no telling what drugs they give them. To young for that kind of training. Their bones are not all mature yet. I am a previous owner of a young horse although not a thoroughbred.

This is absurdly ignorant.

lolwut, you must be confusing Churchill Downs with some backwoods Louisiana operation.

Frail looking? Lmao I have been to many races at the fairgrounds and those are beautiful horses. And you want us to believe the ones at the Kentucky Derby are frail? Lmao

I'll pile on this asinine comment. I've been to the Derby and plenty of other horse races, and those horses are muscular specimens.
What you said would be like looking at Leonard Fournette and saying he looks young and frail. These are the best athletes of their species.

You, my friend, are an absolute idiot.
That is all I have to say.
Though my favorite lead in is always "one time I owned a horse"
Almost as good as "one time I rode a horse"

You can disagree with the entire spectacle but to say those perfect physical specimens are anything but perfect suggests you have a chip on your shoulder. I'm sure they're all doped so take issue with that if that's your point. Otherwise, you sound like you're calling out John Rambo for being an arse kicking malnourished pussy...

You have no clue about what you are talking about.
Rule of thumb is you should be able to see a 2 year old's ribs (not skeletal, but make out a couple ribs when you look). Overfeeding a young horse is worse on a young horse than early training.
Nothing to do with drugs....its genetics. That has been bred into them over the centuries.
They have vets way more knowledgeable at making sure the horses knees are closed and their skeletal system is ready for training.
