It was good to see Gold Edition win the Schillachi Stakes yesterday, what an amazing sprinter she is.
I'm not the first to say this, but I don't approve of the way her career has been managed. She's only 2 months in to her four year-old season and she's raced 34 times.
Not only has she, in my opinion, been raced far too many times, she has also started many times at distances beyond her preferred sprint distances.
She's won 17 races as it is, but I think if she'd been raced more sparingly and over her favourite distances she could be close to undefeated.
But maybe I'm mistaken, maybe she thrives on work. I apologise to her connections if that is the case, and I certainly hope it is.
