Post "trip too far" 5f :/
Erm... so this horse is a 5f horse, in its C4 maiden run it says "the trip was too far"

What can i do? is there like instead of a marathon they have power walking, is there a horses equivalent or should be become a equestrian horse?

if it's a 2yo it's probably just too early in the season for it, give it some time, send it onto the gallops with older horses who prefer 5f and wait for it to keep up with them a bit more and then try it again

Takes time for some 2yo sprinters to get 5f even. Give him enough time, and later in the season he will get 5f easily, and you wont get the non-sensical message.

Yeah I always take about a month of just running my 2yo's on the gallops, and just waiting until they are 100% ready before even entering in races.
