Fame & Glory vrs Easy Win
 

My mare is about ready to race but has presented a interesting dilema.
There is a fillies& mares listed race comming up $64 k first prize & on her past racing history she should make the field but....... & it is a big butttt
she hasnt raced for 5 months & also she is a class 1 so i can stick her in a race with a weaker field but prize money is 6k so the question is
fame & glory......or
Take the easy win & run ?

what are her realistic chances in the bigger race? If her chances aren't that great, where is the fame and glory in running near the back of the pack in a race like that?

Spot her where she has the best chance of winning

Top 5 gives her black type & it is on The track where she trains on.
The down side she is doing low 12s which is ok but not fantastic but she is not fully fit yet & we arnt using the stick just yet;) if you want to check her form her racing name is Shooting Stars.

go for the group 1.....

i voted and i didn't even understand the question.

I Wish ..hahaha if i ever do get one watch out id be over there like a shot to take ya money;)

you already know the answer
the horse isn't 100%

if a win is going to bust a condition and make winning another race more difficult...

$6k doesn't sound like enough to risk life and limb. Of course it would pay next months

answered your own question, the 6k race. why embarrass the horse.

use the lower race to get the horse totally fit, then enter into a G1 after it.

what's your trainers opinion? he should know the horse and where she fits better than anyone.

Take the money, then chase the fame. (Easier said than done)

I am the trainer but i like advise from all regions;)
