Ok so I just got back into racing have a 3rd pedigree chocobo and ive noticed the higher up I go the harder the races get. Whats stats should I weigh in more than others and race abilities. Currently I'm:
Max speed 180/180
Acceleration 180/180
Endurance 176/180
Stamina 180/180
Cunning 90/180

The abilities I sue are Increased Stamina 2 and Choco Esuna 2.
Any help would much appreciated thanks. Ive been losing a lot lately.
