Question
couple of questions. does a philly in heat perform less at the race? is their a shot or medication to stop it.
How can i tell if im under working or overworking her.

Answer
hi-- yes, fillies do horse and are very moody when they are in heat. yes you can ask your vet for the medicine that will stop her from horsing. well, fillies are very different. some take a lot of training and some do not want too much training at all.. they will let you know if you are over working them. a bitchy fillie is a good runner. i had a fillie that i would work the day before the race and she always ran good from the work. hope this helps.  thanks ED HESS
