Breeding bleeders for careers on the track probably isn't a good idea, then.
If the rest of the horses in the world don't need it to race and can still fill cards, then I tend to think of our use of it as an aberration.
aberration: "a departure from what is normal, usual, or expected, typically one that is unwelcome. "
I've read a lot of interviews with trainers the world over who don't use drugs and apparently, they adapt their horse training methods to that model. Maybe they can give seminars.
