  If it is a big problem then maybe it needs fixed but if it is not we
 should not be fixing it.  I would like the data so I can make an informed

Just for the record, Truman, in all the rides I have vetted over the years, I
have seen very few 5-year-olds asked to do 100's, and no problems with those
that have.  I see far more problems overall on the shorter distances, and far
more problems when young horses are asked to go too fast rather than to go
farther.
