for my part, I have never tried to ride endurance on a cull or an
ex-racehorse.  I have had experience with paints, pintos, appaloosas, qtr
horses and three types of Arabs.  I kept what was head-n-shoulders above,
better, smarter, stronger than all the others lumped together.

I have some friends that ride exracehorses.  (off the top of my head) One
successful, three unsuccessful.  Not good enough odds for me.
