Triple says - Apparently 'compete' is a euphemism for breeding & raising paddocks full of largely un-staked horses until they're 4yo+ C1's then selling them for 10k a piece or less. Not sure that I could 'compete' in such a fashion TBM.
The only competition that approach is sure to engender is competition for a position in the soup kitchen line outside the Matthew Talbot Hostel.
