You got into a claiming horse. You knew what she was when you bought her. Don't pick her races with your heart, pick them with your head (and perhaps your Accountant). She was just bought at auction for about $20k less than the tag, so someone would have to be in love with her far more than you all are to take her from this level.


Good luck.

P.S. - Remember every race she returns healthy from is a win.
The goal isn't to make money with this horse so all conventional owning decisions don't really apply here. The goal is for us to be able to enjoy owning a race horse while making sure Chuck makes some money for the work he's put in. So this isn't a horse we want to get claimed which means we need to be less practical with the spots we put her in.
