Most race horses have a very short career. Flat types typically 3 or 4 years so not sure your analogy is relevant.

The health of wild horses is also appalling compared with current and ex-racing stock.

I’d politely suggest this is isn’t something you’ll persuade me on. I’ve held this view for over 40 years and never heard an argument yet to make me think otherwise.

@DevonDaddyDon just a bit of advice here: that question is off-topic for this thread so you probably won't get any advice here. You would be better off starting your own thread, you could do it in Chat, but maybe try more focused areas such as Travel or Pushchairs, where I am sure people will have advice.

Wow - you try to be polite!

I’ll not bore on about the info and stats I have as it’s a thread de-rail.

I’ll just leave the way you call horses “stock” here.

Dubai seems to be the most unpopular. Me too, if not for all the horrible laws, you'd be tripping over influencers left right and centre and wouldn't be able to turn round for seeing saveloy lips!
