My mare is winning, but is a bit clumsy coming out of the starting gates. Should I leave her be or give her blinkers?

WINEBERG

By the way, I schooled her today in the gate.

Blinkers might work if the schooling doesn't help.

If this were a real horse, I'd tell you to ditch the tongue tie unless you really think you need it.

If you've ever had your tongue tied to the floor of your mouth, ridden around for fifteen minutes, and then forced to stand motionless in a tiny box with this sudden feeling of expectation... you'd probably find it to be just another agitating annoyance making you restless.

But, I dunno if that holds any water at all in this case...

I think I've heard that many QH's in real life use blinkers.

almost ALL QH in RL run with blinkers. It's rare that you find one that doesn't.

I would try a f8 since Wineberg seems to have problems breaking in or out at the gate.
