Rick Ankiel doesn't have the best stats but that's because i ran him wrong - i only found out through free races that his best distances are 2400 & 2600
the problem is the free races classed him up all the way to class 2 - i've classed him down to class 3 but he really needs to be in either class 4 or 5 so it'll cost you maybe $30 or so to get him there
i'll sell him to you for $40 if you want - that way you can breed him with misty if you like and he should do well as a class 5 or 4 marathoner
i think your best bet is to spend .05 eth (about $200) on an unraced horse - you can buy horses that cost me almost $1k two months ago for that - like exclusive nakas or szabos fillies with a Z less than 10
