Ok, I have been debating on what to do with Olydar after he broke his Maiden, what type of race should I enter him in, and should I stick arounda Mile or stretch him out? I dno just wanted to get some outside input

I've been in the SIM about the same amount of time, so it's a best guess

Since he gained ground late - he's probably going to be able to get some more distance, so you could stretch him to 8 1/2 to 9f for the next race. He's by Empire Maker, who won at a variety of distances up to 1 1/2 miles. The female family is a guess, Alydar was a classic distance horse so I'd say stretching him out shouldn't be a problem.

I'd definitely be looking to stretch this fellow out. He'll like as much distance as you can get him. Leave him on dirt for now, but if he ever runs into a funk and stops performing, testing out the turf might be an option, given that Toussaud in the SIM is (by my way of thinking) a fairly turf-oriented mare.

I would keep stretching him out. I wouldn't go into a stakes, unless you can find an easy one nearby. Probably try an allowence race at a mile or longer.
