Re: [RC] Longevity - rides2farI have no idea. Typically I'll work with a horse for a season and by that time have transferred all the information I have to the trainer. We go our separate ways. What was the age of the horse that set the record? I would think that you'd have kept up with what age horse you were dealing with when predicting the stress the legs could handle. There is serious debate on the International scene along these lines. Do you believe in going with the younger horses and hoping for one big win in the career? By sending our "proven" best, do you think that's sending horses that have already given their "one big race"? Do you think that it's possible to train a stable of one with the same techniques you train a stable of 120? For instance, you asked if we know the maximum speed our horse can safely travel 30 miles. How do you know a speed is the "maximum" without going over it and backing up (if he's still around).
