gallop time ?

Post by The Harlequins »

Is it gallop time this weekend or as soon as the assistant trainer STOPS saying.

You will be able to give yearlings a timed workout after this weekend's barrier trials have been run. It used to be after the Week 4, Day 6 races, but I believe with the advent of barrier trials, everything has been pushed back one day.

I can actually distinctly remember working my yearlings early morning of week 4 day 6 (around 9am, an hour after day 6 starts, and about 12 hours before day 6 results) and I’ve never once had an issue with injuries, plus the trainer has never suggested it’s too early for a workout. So maybe barrier trials won’t affect that?

I'm pretty sure there was a post somewhere, either in the forum or on the main page, that things that used to happen after Day 6 races now happen after Day 7 barrier trials. You can certainly check and see what the trainer says when you go to work yearlings on Day 6.

Ahh darn that’s annoying, now I’m gonna have to shift my workout schedule from Saturday to Monday, ugh.

But thanks for the clarification.

Week 4 Day 6 has started just over 2 hours ago and Mary Weather isn’t giving a warning about yearlings so I’m gonna go ahead and work mine.

ETA: No injuries to report.

Same here.

Ok, I’m sorry to rehash this thread again, but do barrier trials shift the time gallops change? So now it’s no longer week 8 day 6 after results but rather week 8 day 7 after barrier trial results? I ask because it looks like barrier trials didn’t actually affect workouts for yearlings so is this the same scenario when it comes to gallops?

I'm going to have to look into it (Paging Admin) because I was under the impressive workouts for yearlings would change and they clearly didn't, so I will ask.

I am still puzzled by the added distances. Why was 5 furlongs added to arabs? Is that a workout for short routers or long sprinters?
I know I am a little off topic here in the thoroughbred racing thread.
But it would be a nice clarification if in thoroughbreds:
2,3 furlongs is for sprinters?
4 furlongs is for milers?
5,6,7 furlongs is for routers?
I just became nervous that 5 furlongs suddenly was for "long turf milers" so I decided to do all my routers on 6 furlongs this year hehe.

Paints, appys, QH was explained, but please clarify what 5f arab is? Will the Arab mile be introduced?

I'm not ignoring you, just in the middle of getting something up and running before I can look this up!

5 furlong workouts for Arabians have always been there as far I can remember.

I realized that just before going to sleep that this might actually be the case. I was too tired yesterday. Please ignore my last post here in the forum. 7f was added. 5f has always been there. (but I still dont know what ability it measures)
