Gelding Question
Has anybody done a bit of research on the max and min improvments gelding your horse does.
Also does it show up by having a better workout time as against your previous best?

Re: Gelding Question
A bit worried about doing anything Andrew ,with the new gallop ratings.
The gallops say allowance the workouts seem like stakes to me.

Re: Gelding Question
It's a flat rate small improvement (there's no "slide" involved or anything like that) so there's no guesswork. You snip, he improves. Should theoretically show up in workout times, but as times aren't perfectly consistent in general, it might be hard to notice.
*shameless plug for my one small thing: making the gelding improvement based on a slide would be super interesting and more fun than the tiny set improvement that it currently is*

Re: Gelding Question
If this happened wouldn't people be less likely to geld? Because they'd basically shrug and say "now I don't 'see' the improvement in many/most of my horses so I might as well leave them whole?"Laura Smith wrote: ↑3 years ago

Re: Gelding Question
Actually, right now, the tiny set improvement is hard to see. There used to be more of a range, which resulted in some horses, post-gelding, turning into top flight race horses. I think you'd have more incentive under Laura's suggestion, than you do under the current system, which has no chance of a major improvement.Gwen Morse wrote: ↑3 years agoIf this happened wouldn't people be less likely to geld?

I have never ever ever ever 'seen' any improvement in ANY horse I gelded. But I do it regularly either because 1) it cant hurt and is SUPPOSED to help, or 2) my way of showing annoyance and disappointment to colts that don't do well.

Re: Gelding Question
It seems to me the main purpose of geld ,players can sell there horses without fear of a late change and becomming a top stalli.
Only my view.
