Horses # days off betwen races - Pace and Cap

JLG · 03-16-2009, 12:44 PM

Hi.

Was looking for some opinions on How other people look at days off between races.

I normally don't like horses coming back with races within three weeks or less. I realize that some of the feeder tracks, this is quite normal at the lower claiming ranks, because it is the only way the horse can earn its hay.

I also think as more and more states ban steriods, that it will not be physically possible for horses to run 2 and 3 races within a 30 day period.

My question is, does anyone look for any patterns in days off or PPs to determine if a horse can run to that same level as their last race, that may have been 7 days ago?

Thanks
Jim
