Obligatory mixers gallop thread

Post by Tammy Stawicki »

So what did you get?

I got the following:

Stakes = 3 (7.5%) (Mark of the Beast x2, Son of a Grip)
Allowance = 19 (47.5%)
Productive = 16 (40%)
Solid = 2 (5%)


Which is pretty on par with what my 2yos are now galloping other than my 2yo are more swayed towards allowance than productive than this bunch, but this allowance/productive ratio is more on par to what I historically see. Stakes are lower than historically but given how many stakes gallopers I had in the past that could most definitely not win a stakes race I appreciate that category being a bit more selective.

Arabian Sprinters:
1 stakes LB (Sleeping Dragon)
24 allowance (16 LB, 6 progressive, 2 peak)
20 productive (12 LB, 7 progressive, 1 peak)
6 solid (2 LB, 4 progressive)
2 claimers (1 LB, 1 progressive)

Arabian Routers:
11 allowance (6 LB, 4 progressive, 1 peak)
10 productive (7 LB, 2 progressive, 1 peak)
4 solid (2 LB, 1 progressive, 1 peak)
3 claimers (1 LB, 2 progressive)

Probably one of my better years, even with the gallop adjustment.

I also went down from 7 stakes-galloping 2 year olds to just one, with only one router left. I'm happy to see the adjustment for the sake of Arabian routers, who have needed one for a while, but it is going to make sprinters a bit more tricky. Stakes gallops have actually been pretty reliable for my Arabian sprinters- 5/9 of my currently racing stakes gallopers are stakes winners, and the other four are regularly competitive in stakes; my freak is a G1 winner and competitive with the best in the division.

It'll be harder to tell which of the yearling allowance gallopers actually belong in stakes, since 4f workouts have issues (routers/versatile horses are faster than actual sprinters), but it makes me much more excited for that one stakes LB I have. It's been a long time since I've debuted a horse in a stakes anyways, so speed figures should tell the story quickly enough.

The initial impression was that I bred a poor lot, particularly the Standardbreds. But after looking at a couple of freshman SBred sires who I expected to see around the 15% stakes/6% freak mark (and who between them averaged something more like 4.5%/0.5%) I think the gallop adjustments might've hit pretty hard. So I'm less disappointed (insofar as I was disappointed at all; these yearlings are a year plus away from racing, so what they're galloping like now isn't massively important).

I have a ton of allowance late bloomers this year, and three stakes, 1 Arab, 2 trotters. No freaky freaks.

It looks to me like paint sprinters were particularly "hard hit" with the downgrades. All my paint sprint 2yo stakes gallopers are now allowance and I didn't have any yearling stakes gallopers. Also looking at Colored Spotlights he has 6 2yo stakes gallopers (only 1 was regalloped this year) out of 62 foals, whereas he has no stakes galloping yearlings out of 43. None of my other paint sprint sires had stakes gallopers either, but they don't have a history of producing them the way CS does. But looking at the posts here so far I'm still not seeing a bunch of paint sprint high gallopers popping up.

My middle distance paints on the other hand I retained some stakes 2yos and had a few stakes yearlings, and Jacinth also sired a few stakes gallopers. So my guess is a stakes paint sprinter is going to be REALLY good and some of the allowance gallopers may be stakes competitive as well. Will be interesting to see what works look like.

No stakes at all over here...oof

Just one of those years, but for context I have a now 3yo filly that I talent checked and she went down to Allowance/Late Bloomer. She's also a fast working, multiple stakes winner so we'll see how good some of these allowance yearlings are. Really interested in what the brave ones do.

I had very similar results to Tammy. 36 Paint ds, no stakes, 17 Allowance and only one of those was peak.

You know what's freaky is that TBs were only adjusted by 0.3 and mixers by 0.4. That's how many horses were in those categories... 0.4 is not a big movement by any means... except it was, in this case.

I have well over 100 allowance gallopers and a few stakes, I did get this well-bred, late-blooming, paint router Freak.

As I understand only the stakes and freak limits were adjusted. I regalloped about 60 allowances and none of them became productive.
I believe that allowance horses is now a big range span has raised from 16.0-17.0 to 16.0-17.4 ish... or whatever the true values are.

Anyone who had an allowance 2 year old that went down to procuctive?

I know I had some TBs drop from allowance to productive. I haven't double checked my mixers yet, but it appears to have been a blanket adjustment across the board.
