Good memorial day to all and I take a minute to say thank you to all those who serve this great country.
Remember those who have given their lives fighting for our freedom.
A topic for discussion, I just enjoyed a wonderful vacation down in the sunshine state and I came across an interesting women who is studying to become a vet which I found out she would like to be a thoroughbred vet which I found pretty cool, in further discussion she worked for a breeding farm getting horses ready for the sales, and then worked with a handicapper and her angle wasn't looking at the form, odds, jockey, or trainers but instead the built of a horse. I look forward to ongoing conversations about exactly what she look for but she said a little bit about a horses conformation to running sprints vs routes and you could see in a horses front shoulders and strides which they were built for. I haven't started doing research yet on the topic but wanted to see if anyone here had thoughts on the topic.
