Pacer Gallop Discussion

Post by Jack Christensen »

I personally dislike the gallops on pacers. We had the gallop comment change at the start of this year for everything except Standardbreds and chasers in order to make gallop comments more indicative of the horses abilities. Can we and should we do this kind of adjustment for pacers? Regardless of my opinion, I wanted to open this up for discussion because I want to see what others in the SIM community think about the gallops on pacers. Reply what you think.

Both pacers and trotters need an adjustment at the end of this season.

I don't understand why they weren't done in the first place.

Em said one night in chat the reason they had not been adjusted was because they had just been adjusted 2 years ago, and it was too soon to adjust them again. Did not mention when they might be up for adjustment again.

There was an adjustment not that long ago, if it was two years ago, remember that the adjustment was two SIM YEARS ago, so it really hasn't been that long. I do think they're in need of another tweak, though, so maybe at the end of this SIM year or next.
