With a few such exceptions, buying yearlings-which are a year away from any track-is a risky proposition. Training injuries and illness are common among thoroughbreds, and even a well-blooded yearling, says one longtime owner...

He recruited four passengers to remain as voluntary hostages, and allowed the other passengers to leave.
