Doesn’t it strain a horse badly if it is raced too young?

I really like this article!! it is facinating definitly to me because i especially like thoroughbreds and racing and i am happy that the people did not stop racing but instead might race somewhere else!! who knows maybe the little filly will be really good and will be able to race here!! Give her a challenge!!!!!!!!!

“The only recourse is to perhaps race her in the Southern Hemisphere, where rules about birthdates are less stringent.” …Or simply not race her at all. I’m not a big fan of racing to begin with because how how unfair it is to the horses. However, horses with racing bloodlines often do well in Eventing, Dressage, and jumping, so frankly, I don’t see why the owners of this horse wouldn’t just write her off as a race horse and let her grow up and go on to a different career. Really, fillies don’t even bring all that much money on the track anyway, at least not compared to the colts.

One wonders about the rationale for this rule in this day and age, when record-keeping has become much easier…

Wow. That really is a young yearling. I had not heard of a horse delivering a foal in December before. That is amazing.
