QUESTION: hello sir, does running green means not maintaining a straight course throughout the race.i meant running zigzag? can i place the horse between two horses?


Answer
hi always train horses in sets as they get lots of bumping ZIG zaging and dirt in their faces and pinned down on the rail. training them that way you will teach a horse what he is going to encounter in a race. i always try to work my horse in sets.  thanks ED HESS
