Evaluation for Daddy's Overdraft

[creativecause]

Meg intended to run her in the Turf Triple Crown, but she hasn't ran since the Unicorn Horn Turf in January Week 4. She hasn't raced for awhile, and I'm just wondering if I should run her April week 3 in the top speed stakes, and run her again the following week in the Kentucky open (or just do maybe two morning workouts and skip the Top speed stakes and run her in the Kentucky Open)? Or should I run her in a regular stakes race and depending on the result move forward from there? I think she's a pretty good horse and I would hate to end up thinking that I made her miss a great opportunity.

I think you could do any and all of those options. She really is one win off of grade three. The Top Speed Stakes is likely to come up fierce and she may find it tough running against the fastest sprinters. A regular stakes would give her that grade three win possibly and get her back in gear for the Turf Triple Crown.

Or you could do the two workouts, but the judge is more likely to consider recent racing over recent workouts. She's an excellent candidate and a possible dark horse to upset the favorites.

Thanks Ripley! You really helped me with my decision of what to do with her next!
