Incidentally, while I'm on the war path.... HAS THERE BEEN A MORE ABSURD CONCLUSION than that which the relatively recent HRA Breeders Panel came to that we need to breed more foals ??????????????
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING FELLAS!
How about making a start by way of seeing to it that you fully utilise the 50% of the annual foal crop that you currently all but ignore (the fillies) by affording them genuine opportunities to race against their own sex? It's not &%$#ing Rocket Science fellas. It's not &%$#ing Brain Surgery.
How many Breeders have to be sent to the wall before you get your heads out of your arses????????????
