Is it real?

Post by Kelly Haggerty » 11 months ago

Are steeplechasing races actually real, or are they some device sent from heaven to torture me into learning patience? I will eventually win one with one of my stakes chasers, right? I won't just go on losing forever? UG! I love my chasers but hate them at the same time. Just venting. https://www.simhorseracing.com/horse.ph ... ID=1361613

Would you like me to lie to you or tell you the truth?

The truth I guess. Not that it will set me free in this case. I am continuing with the insanity of breeding more of these.

I am only just beginning to venture into chasing, but I'm doing so with the mindset that they're like pre-adjustment harness gallops. This comment is chase freak: https://www.simhorseracing.com/horse.ph ... ID=1360258

I'm still happy I claimed her but I apparently overestimated her chances in an NW4.

I have several Chase freaks and they are terrible.

When I saw He was freak I was so excited. He has been underwhelming to say the least.

These are not much better.

Yep chasers could do with another actual reset as the gallop comments are not any use whatsoever!

I only run my freaks and pretend they’re all allowances until they prove me otherwise. The stakes are destined for claimers almost always unfortunately. A gallop change would be nice but at the same time I have a system I’m good with right now
yeah

I know nothing about chasers yet. But I see that I am going to need to drop them in class more quickly. I have actually done ok in chase claimers, but the allowance races are salty!

My question is - How hard would it be to rewrite/make chaser specific gallops since clearly there is still some severe issues with their gallops. Is it issues with the gallops, or the wide range of distances/other outliers that are impacting their performance? idk

None of my chase freaks have been very freaky; I don't bother to run anything below chase stakes
I'm just here for the fun of it

What Dylan said: quite accurate/appropriate.
