Which racetrack is the top racing facility in the United States?

Santa Anita by far - it has all the components from beauty to history and racing schedule to make it the number one choice

Gulfstream Park - with its new renovations and fantastic racing schedule, Gulfstream Park gets my vote.

15%

Churchill Downs - simply because it's the home of the Kentucky Derby.

21%

Saratoga Racetrack - a spectacular summer meet that highlights history while featuring top competitive thoroughbreds.

Jockey question

Hey motron,
I have a question for you. Since I'm going to be losing to you for the next couple months in the jockey tournaments, I figured that I'd ask you a question, and maybe you could answer it for me. While running the horses, every so often, they'll stop running at full effort. Is there a way to avoid that, or a way to tell that it happens (other than making notes)?

Oh, I also noticed at the end of some races when you're pulling away with a win that the horse's effort will drop to half, but still finish in first. I'm guessing that is supposed to happen?

Thanks for the help. I got your invitations, and I'll go thru them when I get home tonite. :)

jockey question

yes i know what u mean
i think that if you whip yr horse to early this can happen
also to many bumps into another horse can do that
increasing yr speed to rapidly may cause yr horse to not reach full effort

part two
at the end of the race yr horse is just spent
if youve got the lead dont whip em unless you have to right at the finish.each time you whip em it uses more energy

thanks for the question .hope it helps.im just learning myself.
of course there are many more factors we just touched on a few.

dont let yr hooves get stuck in the mud

Congrats

Troy,
Congratulations on another jockey tourney win. I got runn-up again in 12 cats. I am still working on riding so I can get my 8 more wins to get my apprentice badge.
