Racing Weeks 1-3?

Emily White · Post by **Emily White** » 16 years ago

Is that good or bad, because I have a couple horses running Week 3 that ran Week 1, and I was up last night worrying.

It depends on the age of the horse, and how many times it's run recently, and how much shipping you've been doing. If it's a 4yo who's race before the week 1 race was Year 19 week 14 or earlier, it's OK. If it's a 2yo, scratch and wait until week 4 or 5.

what If its a 3yr old filly Raced week 1 friday is week 3 ok if she went on to a farm ( my brother wants to know )

Depends on when she ran before week 1 - if week 14 or sooner, she'll probably be OK, if week 15 or 16, I'd give her a little more rest before her next start.

Ok, I'm safe. Thanks Carolyn.

She'll likely be OK, but you may want to check with Dr Hacklu on race day.
