Experience:
Licensed trainer for over 30 yrs. Have had lots of winners in all different types of races - from bottom claimers to top quality stakes winners. My best money winner was Aristocratic Cross (multiple stakes winner). My best claiming horse was Navajo Family, winner of 12 races in one year. I still enjoy racing a modest stable of horses each year.
Question Does 1 minute of swimming equal to 1 mile of galloping?
Answer hi -- well ,i have swam horses in between races to keep their wind in good condition, but i have never swam them into a race. you need a combination of swimming and galloping in order to get the horse dead fir. if the horse is running and in shape, but a little sore or has bad breathing or a wind problem, then you can swim them off and on between races to keep them fit. swimming alone will cause the horse to not be legged up enough to run a good race. galloping is the best to leg them up and swimming is very good between races to keep them fit in the wind. hope this helps thanks ED HESS
