Kat Dog Finds A New Home

Duncan Farm

After recieving several site mails about Kat Dog I decided not on the highest bid but where I felt the horse would be tended to the best. As a breeder I must protect my bloodstock and Sire/Mares stats and not let the foal leaving Odessa end up in anyones hands. After contemplating on keeping I decided to send the trailer to DuncanFarm.  Sired from Dogs Bachelor Party out of Kapa Haka Kat the granddaughter of the infamous Kapa Haka, she will be resting in Lex, Ky. Good Luck to Duncan Farm and we will be following her career at The Florida Breeder News! Kat Dog was sold for $80.000.

Reasons Why Your Horse Lost

40 – Basics That Influence Horse Performance Listed here are some of the basic questions to initially consider when evaluating performance in races and works. These are things that can have an influence on horse performance or things that should be considered. It is not an all inclusive list but should give a good start and a good idea of things to look for. 1. Were the condition and stamina meters between 95 & 105? 2. Was the distance meter different? 3. Was the consistency meter different? 4. Was there a change in accessories or medications? 5. Is the horse carrying a different amount of weight? 6. Were different instructions used? 7. Was there a change in surface or track conditions? 8. Was there a change in distance run? 9. Was the work/race at a different track? 10. Did the actual pace change? 11. Was the horse positioned differently? 12. Did the horse step up in class or run against easier/tougher competition? 13. Did the horse have a wider trip? 14. Does the horse constantly seem to never live up to it works in races? 15. Was the time comparable to past works/races? 16. How did the finishing position compare versus the time? 17. Is the horse still young and more inconsistent? 18. How is the horse improving with age compared to other horses? 19. Did the horse get off to a bad start? 20. Was the horse influenced by traffic?

According to the rules of HRP these are the top variables that can effect your horse before & during the race.
