Hi Mixer People!!

We have - at long last, admittedly - FIXED Mixer workouts!!

-Sprinters can work up to 350 yards
-Mids can work 400 or 440 yards (QHs only on 440)
-Routers can work 550 yards for all three breeds!
-The distances will now tell you MUCH more accurate results of how "good" the horse is!

So I love the change and am very excited to be able to finally look at some middle distance workouts this year and hope to get information out of them but am a little surprised that given mids should be working 400 yards there aren't 400 yard barrier trial races

[Polk Buffalo]

I am still a bit confused. An appy mid can workout 400 yards and the workout time will measure the mid-ability?
550 yards will measure the route-ability?
100, 300, 350 will measure the sprint-ability? Or is sprint ability actually divided into short, mid and long sprints?

What about arabs?
7 furlongs was added.
Is 7 furlongs the new longroute (marathon) ability for arabs?
6 furlongs the normal route ability.?
4 furlongs the sprint ability?
(5 furlongs would be the mid ability?)

I guess the question is: Should I workout my arabrouters 7 furlongs now to get the most accurate estimate of their ability on 1½-2 miles?

I'm trying to figure out if I did this on purpose or if I lost my mind. Standby...

I was trying to wrap my brain around this also.

If I had a $1 for everytime I tried to figure that out for something I had done.

[Sten Rino Haakonsen]

this is great news öfcourse stupid here suddenly thought all his nice ppy routers were sprinters and worked them all out at the the longest of the sprint distances and strangely enough they did not suck as bad as they should have lol

[Brad Fabman]

So I'm seeing everything the was 870 yards has been changed to 3 1/2 furlongs. 3 1/2 furlongs by my calculations is 770 yards. 1 furlong = 220 yards. It maybe should have been 4 furlongs in nice round numbers. Actually being 3.954 furlongs to equal 870 yards. Not understanding the need for this change but there is my 2 cents.

[Polk Buffalo]

I noticed the change right now as well. Did it happen last week? Why just change the routers? Perhaps everything will be converted to furlongs? I dont really get it yet.

[The Steward]

No change, there's a bug. We were working on separating workouts and barrier trials in the rankings and it's very confusing! It will be fixed soon.

[The Steward]

Fixed now
