What are the breeders doing to help the sport?

[Pacer 2]

Again you over exaggerate the problem with horse racing. An overwhelming majority of horses of all breeds are taken better care of than American kids in our inner cities. Absolutely some end up in kill pens and don’t live the best later life but that’s the minority. Go visit your local low income nursing home or Section 8 housing in Harlem and report back how they are doing.

back to the topic
breeders help the sport by providing the best bred, best conformed yearlings that can be bought to try and win races and money, they supply the product the sport requires

They hurt the sport by taking the "stars" of the sport off the track as soon as possible.  If you want the people to support the sport, you need the stars racing. The Pittsburgh Pirates get about 9,000 a game but when Paul Skenes pitches they sell out. The stars need to be on the track.

wow, some shocking comments on this thread
 i can only assume that most have never bred a horse before
let me respond
1. its not the breeders job to promote the sport, the USTA/Hambletonian society  and regional programs need to do that
2.no bigger breeders do not keep their best and sell the rest...FYI!!, at that time no one knows who will be the best, of course from time to time a breeders will keep a well bred filly to update his broodmare band ,  most breeders cant afford to keep yearlings, they need to sell them 
3. up bidding, i am sure in some cases a breeder will protect up to a certain dollar figure , and yes the odd time they may buy one back if they feel they were not getting close to fair value for it, remember they have seen these horse since birth,  and if they are doing it and get hung with a few high priced ones that will stop immediately
4. taking starts off the track, yes to a minor extent, clearly one or two stallions per season and yes more mares than that , however the sport can curtail that by making more funds available for 4 yr olds and aged horses, kentucky has started that , also recent moderate results of bettors wish tds, greenshoe etc might mean that people are not so quick to take them off the track and the few stallion barns out there may not be as quick to want to syndicate them , also i do notice twin b joe fresh and sylvia hanover still racing  and jiggy jog was racing until injured
5. harness revolution, you need to let go, you clearly have an axe to grind and are bitter on every aspect of the sport, i have been to the top notch breeding farms and i can tell yo that the mares and foals are treated like their children
6. just a general comment for all  if you do not have any expertise on a subject, i.e breeding or breeders just take a pass on the subject, you don't need to respond to every thread
