Race Horses Today VS Yesteryear

Horses of old would run forty top level races before retiring to a nice stud farm some where. Today on the other hand, they are lucky to make it three months as a professional race horse before retirement-if they live that long.

When will the limit be reached, where it will become apparent that breeding for speed is robbing them of hardiness, and that the toothpick legs that they now have are not strong enough to carry them? When we it stop, and some better genes be bred in?
