Gosden right about breeding for speed

I was delighted to see that such a prominent and deep thinking trainer as John Gosden has joined the argument about our present breeding policies.

It has been obvious for many years that the industry has been wasting the years of careful, informed and balanced thoroughbred breeding carried out by our forebears. Princess Zahra spoke on this subject at the Asian Racing Conference.

The whole concept of breeding racehorses has changed from just that to, in the main, a commodity market aimed at making money rather than producing a good racehorse.
