Post What distance to run?
I was going to run this filly in a 7f maiden.

But when the race came round her stamina bar had gone up to this.

So I passed on that and looked for something a bit further.
Then I noticed her stamina bar was back down again and I thought I had made a mistake.
These two images were taken on the same day, sometimes the bar is low and sometimes it's high.
So my question is, What distance should I run her? :?

So I believe 1m2f = 2000m?
If so I'd still start her over 1200m or 6f..........maybe even 1000m in her very first start.
My own personal experience is that it still takes time for the majority of 2yo's to start running distance.

The mile was too short as she was staying on at the finish, her only other defeat was to one of my cast offs ( as happens ).
Her stamina bar increased again and potential went up to 95% as a 3yo, not a world beater in the CK but good breeding stock.

Looks like she'll be strong in mares and fillies races - I am sure she'll pick up some open group 1 races. I agree with you - real good for breeding. Good luck :-)
