Outside of the fact, you get to see your dog race and you have to be in it to win it...yes.....Dogs get disheartened when having to chase dogs they have no chance at all of catching and it can actually bring negative repercusions down the track.
With that being said, if its just a dog you are looking at havign some fun with and do not really mind what happens, then by all means enter it in whatever you mind. Just be wary that entering dogs out of there grade, isnt just a case of "o well, that race was too hard, better luck next time", but more a case for the dogs head. Alot of the time, dogs have loads of ability but cant put it together on the track cuz of their "head".
Just food for thought tho..Hope the dog wins some races  |
i actually agree with poizun
the last couple of big maidens in nsw winners have been won by lochinvar marlow and magic spirite, both have the abilty to make the top grade, looking at the dogs who made the finals and finished behind them you see alot of dogs who have gone on and won plenty of races since some even running in group events
when there is 10k on the line for a maiden race alot of dogs are held back and the smart trainers like azzopardi, mackay, andy lord, sultana's etc will always have some jet set for it, throw in the wheelers dogs and kevin gordon normally has a maiden saved for the big events and poizun is right dogs are running sub 22.60s even some of the jets going faster
in other words coops, we wana plunge first up so take her to golburn so we can clean the bookie out
