paddymac Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 yes the day when you bred 12 youngsters and had at leased 10 after racingSo true Archie, now you need to breed 40-60 Ybs and hope to have 10 left at the end of the Yb programme which would most probably include 5 or more that had to be stopped due to injuries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
