Might be worth gelding him or giving him a wind op. Other options you could try are - apply pacifier (noseband etc) or running him in 0-80 races etc, to build confidence, then try the big races again. |

Is he worth breeding with due to the high potential rating? |

Possibly, I will leave that up to you. Have you tried him over 6f? |

Take the screen shot: Paste it into Paint: Save it into your 'pictures' folder. Go on www.tinypic.com Upload picture and then copy the 'IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards' Paste this code into your message in Starters Orders There are quite a few ads on the tiny website but it only takes about 20 seconds to do the picture upload. |

Keep him, he's gota full extra speed bar. Try him on soft ground. First of breed him with fast ground mares and then mares who got better cruising burst. Also mares who get better accel bars. Tell us how u get on. |

Don't think I've ever seen a full extra speed bar and I have come to believe that extra speed means at least a horse who can compete. This horse's form is bad. I did notice that he has no finish application. Does he show a lot of speed only to falter in the last furlong? Personally I am not a fan of 5 furlong breeding indicator horses. His best distance may actually be 4 furlongs. His "Softer" preference might also mean he only runs on soft which he hasn't yet. Edit - oh yeah as Ghost pointed out that cruising burst stinks. May be the answer there. |

May be the answer there. He actually gets detached by 5 lengths early, then runs on slightly better near finish. Will step him up in trip on softer ground before sending to breeding barn. See what we get, will keep you posted. |

A sprint horse with lousy start and accelleration stats is an Asda meat pie job in my very humble oppinion. dotsy |
