Wouldn't you hope that what is in the best interest of the sport that horses perform in practice at a minimum to prove both fitness and athletic ability to compete?
Yes, I know that isn't currently the standard. But, should it be?
What is the minimum standard for 6f? Should a horse be able to cover it in 1:14 to be considered a race horse? Or are we settling for it's a horse with a rider ergo it's a race horse?
