Most race horses are gelded in the first to years of thier life before the even hit the track.

That is most decidedly not true. The greatest dollar value from horses is for their breeding services. Last year when Funnycide won the Kentucky Derby there was a lot of talk about the rarity of a such an expensive horse being gelded.

There is a Clinton joke somewhere in there.
