Spex is our first foray into racing. I am of old school thought. I like horses with "antique flavors" rather than the "flavor of the week" family members.
I worry though b/c the ppl around me tell me that since she is not "hyper" she will probably not be much of a racer. She is absolutely level. But she is interesting in the fact that we let her follow behind us when riding and she makes a game out of letting us take off at full gallop, waiting , and then blasting by us like we were standing still. Now grant you our riding horses aren't racers but they aren't slugs either.
So as I was sitting her trying to figure out the whole dosage thing I was wondering if anyone had any input on her pedigree and the conduit mare profile (another baffling instrument). From what I see the horse of my dreams, Spectacular Bid, her grandsire on dams side, hasn't shown much except for his broodmare offspring.
Don't get me wrong if she doesn't race no heartbreak there, we have other pursuits in mind also!
But it really does fascinate me that some ppl can give a good guesstimate of a horses future pursuits.
So feel free to post good , bad or indifferent....... geesh this is a novel for my first post!! thanks in advance!!
