What is the highest grade horse you can breed right now? Get one of those, then start training the speed skill only. In the beginning it doesn't work as well because the difference to your competition won't be that big, but it's very useful when you've got a higher grade horse, as it saves you 2/3 of the resources you would otherwise need.

Basically how the capping system works is that every race has a limit on the skill points a horse can have to participate, and if your horse has more, it gets capped (so limited in any or all skills, so it will run as if it had lower skills).

So for example if the race caps after 240 skill points, that would usually mean that your horse is capped at about 80-80-80. However, if you have only trained your horse's speed, the skills might be 130-50-50, meaning that there is no need to cap the skills as the total skill points are under 240. Now your horse is running against competition that has 70-85 in speed... and yours has 130. XD

Even with lower grade horses, I always train the speed to max first, because it makes winning the regular races so much easier.
