Post I wonder if...
I can turn this donkey into some sort of black type winner? I bought her at auction to keep me busy while I wait for my transfer pool breeding foals to hit the track. A long distance horse whose first race as a 2yo in a sprint was a total disaster. Gets the rest of the year off and makes her 3yo debut in a seller - winning it in average time. I buy her and wait 4 months to run her. She wins nicely. She's cheap so this will be a challenge - 43 rating to stakes winner???

1st race under the expert training of The Force Farm's retained trainer - Obi Wan.

I'm a manual trainer so my thinking in some sort of deluded fantasy world of pretending I'm an actual trainer is...

Give her 21 days off with special training the only training going on (Improving Agility and Starting)

Find a race a little longer around 21 days ahead. Train her on Amber = mid until 12 days before the race where I then switch the training intensity to Red = Heavy and keep it there until the day before the race where I then switch it back to Amber. Skip to race day. That's how I manual train. Some horses take more time to recover so the days involved is different but I generally like to work in weeks as the time measure. Keeps it simple when you start training a lot of horses.

Once again exploit the handicap ranks with her low rating.

The result. An authoritative win toting a feather weight.

On a side note look at this tasty stallion in the breeding shed. I dug deep in the transfer pool and pulled out some mares for him. Over 100 rated debut winner. Never worse than second. 15 Grade 1's upon retiring at 4. And most intriguing - a small build. For some reason small build horses do better in the CK and the League.

Yeah I saw it a few days later but by then the ratings had been done so I figured you were set.

The experts are on board except the damn chimp.

A head and head battle down the stretch with another donkey ends in a bitter defeat. I can't see this horse even being stakes placed anymore :( .

Naturally when you lose you...Blame the jockey! I flogged the apprentice 100 times and now he is on manure duty. On goes the number 1 jockey in the colony - Ramon Dominguez. With a sense of urgency in trying to gauge how good this horse is I enter her in an allowance at 1m3f. She almost wins.

Image

Next up a 1m2f allowance and instructions to ride farther back.
