| Not all the whips are foam, especially some of the newer racing ones. He was raced in NZ and you could clearing tell they weren’t foam. He literally has marks |

| I personally havent seen anything that says starting them early like that helps their bones, but i may have missed it. Ive seen more horses ruined by jumping before their bones are mature enough than horses made stronger by it lol. I'd imagine racing is much the same :P |

| What do y'all think of Katie Van Slyke? I've heard some people say she's great, but others call her a backyard breeder. If I may ask, what IS a backyard breeder? |

| Hi. I owned an otqh who was retired younger. She was a shit racer and ended up being retrained into doing western. Did well enough in it to do nationals |
| Morning Glory Farms |
| The whips they use in TB racing are foam, I highly highly doubt that they caused any bleeding, shit ive been whipped with them before and they dont hurt |
| Morning Glory Farms |
| theres been a ton of studies showing that starting them earlier at around 2 actually makes for stronger bones joints ect, but horses retiring early is not specific to race horses, and a large chunk of them continue on racing with chuckwagons or doing other high impact sports |

| I’ve got an OTTB and still have his old racing videos in which he was whipped around the entire field and after the races you could see blood. Never able to trust racing after seeing that |
| Morning Glory Farms |
| As for standing around for photographers shes only the second? Woman to win the Melbourne cup so its expected that people are going to want fresh off the win pictures, I would assume that was on the way to the winners circle or whatever the aussie equivalent is, if the horse wasn't labored breathing and the blood wasn't coming from the nose and wasn't *pouring* out I probably wouldn't be to stressed about it either |

| I know this doesn't fit the topic we're on right now but this made me sad lmao -YT Click- |

| That from the Melbourne Cup? I remember watching it and I was horrified |

| Considering how young they start racing them, the mental and physical trauma they go through, how young they retire, and how many die each year, I dont think the 'big dogs' care too much lol |
| Morning Glory Farms |
| I mean 9 outta 10 times what you see as the "behind the scenes" is just a wow factor to get a reaction |

| trish I know, yet there's always those who don't and you'll see the race on TV and be like 'oh wow, awesome' then you see the behind the scenes and its just... something else sometimes (not all the time though) |
| Morning Glory Farms |
| Theres plenty of people who race horses that care about their horses |
