It seems I need to race my horses more

Post by Tammy Stawicki »

I was looking through the records of some of the Steward's Cup winners and saw multiple horses with 8 races this year that were consistently winning. Meanwhile even most of my "very sound" horses only raced 6 times. It seems this old fuddy duddy needs to get with the times.

Yup, at this point I think you can get away with throwing in a week and a halfs rest every once in a while just fine

And all my horses use first class shipping and a bunch have companion animals. I just had my method that was working and kept tooling along doing it never thinking maybe all these new forms of increased rest my horses are getting means they can race more. As I said Old Fuddy Duddy.

I think I'm way too cautious with my horses, too, even with first class shipping on and Sound horses I just get really uncomfortable when they haven't had a 3 week break in some time. Maybe I'm too compassionate with them, I mean it's not like they ever showed appreciation for the more casual schedule I give them :lol:

I usually only race a horse 6-7 times a year, I'd rather be too cautious than over race a horse
