i do not think this is a result caused by breeding, but rather a result of overzealous training and a horse that has talent. it's so common to see this type of an injury when an animal shows ability at a young age; those areas of the leg aren't as well formed at the tender age of 1-2 years old when the most difficult times of training are taking place and it takes its toll on the horse.
horse training, as you know, is equal parts luck, science and talent with a little prayer here and there.
At least Mr. Jones has a long life of pasture and breeding shed activities to look forward to...a horse with less talent ends up in a very different scenario.
