Barrier Trial Question

[Anthony Zappulla]

Thanks

[Danny Derby]

I'm actually fascinated that people would rather find, enter, and PAY for a barrier trial to trigger a jump than, you know, race. In a free race.

I can race in a barrier trial before they’re old enough to actually race. Being able to trigger that jump early would be a big incentive.

That said, I’ve NEVER had a first or second race improver before.

I can't recall, having a progressive type, that actually progressed.

This race scheduled for day 5 looks to be horses that all improved from their first run: https://www.simhorseracing.com/race.php?RaceID=1862068

What Danny meant is the horse actually changed gallop comments after its first start, which some do. Albeit it's very rare.
