urgent filly race stakes
Question
QUESTION: hi i have a 2 years filly in mexico, Pat kaut this saturday works 7 furlong its very tired, 30 september she will race a stakes in 7 furlongs i have 3 weeks to train her, she ran 31 August 7 furlong, she came last, horrible ride, started first, finished last. How should i train her to make a good race...
ANSWER: hi well i am not sure why she was tired after the 7 fur work out??? and you said she raced 7 fur started first ran last but a awful ride. have you checked her breathing??? not knowing your fillie. it would be hard to tell you why she is not working or running well. does she run with blinkers?? 2 yrs old do get shin problems and also have polips in their throat sometimes. i would have your vet check her for those 2 things to see if she has any problems. some fillies do not like a lot of training and will run better with a mild training program. i have mentioned a few things for you to check on hope this helps you thanks ED HESS

QUESTION: thanks for the answer ok a vet check the filly its ok, please recomend me a mild training program, for two weeks before the race she will race septembre 29, 7 furlongs, she ran 4 times this year, a 2 place in 4 1/2 furlongs first place in 5 furlongs, 8th in 6 furlongs, and 9 th in 7 furlongs, i think she needs more resistence...thanks
Answer
hi sounds like to me that she is a short distance runner. maybe the 7 fur is a bit too long for her to run. ok, a slow 1 1/2 mile gallop each day ,if she is a easy horse to gallop,if she is a hard horse to train, then ponying her would be good too. and then another week of same training. since she has the speed i would not work her , just galloping. does she run with a tongue tie?? that does help breathing. i have had many fillies and some of them are very hard to train. some love work and lots of galloping and others do not like to train much at all. hope this helps you thanks ED HESS
