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 I have a 5yo gelding who races 5 1/2 or 6 furlong races and does not change leads. He's a decent runner but would be exceptional if he would change leads and not get tired. Any ideas on how to accomplish this feat?
Answer hi well there is always a reason for not changing leads. he could have problems behind and that is why he is not changing leads for you in the race. you should have your vet check him out , to see if there is any back end problems. he could have stifles or hocks bothering him. hope this helps you thanks ED HESS
