At the end of the day if you have a doo that wins a top position and you put it in the stock loft at say 4 year old if its producing the goods it will be there until dooms day so regardless when they last raced these are guys who are legends in there own right, I don't think for one minute the jansens would sell inferior birds. From my short experience in the sport the top guys I have had the pleasure of meeting would not let or sell an inferior bird imo
