Re: GALLOP MEANINGS
Gallops are basically just a general comment about the ability of your horse with different career being your lowest comment then followed by claimer, solid, productive, allowance, stakes, and finally freak being best. In general productives and below will be your horses running in claiming races and allowances usualy breaking into those non-claiming races. That's not to say however that's the only way it ever works. There have been productives who have been able to be multiple stakes winners and stakes horses who can't run themselves out of a maiden claimer. It all just depends on the horse!
yeah

Re: GALLOP MEANINGS
Id say the gallop meanings are not nearly that random... I doubt there are many stakes rated gallopers who cant win a maiden claimer, but that would be rare anyway because few people are dumb enough to put a stakes galloper in a claimer, but im sure it happens, and very few productive gallopers do much, at least in the sprinting game anyway.. maybe its different in other divisions..

I wasn’t trying to say these scenarios are common but rather was trying to show that they shouldn’t have to much bearing on how you run a horse.Art Kage wrote: ↑4 years ago Id say the gallop meanings are not nearly that random...

Re: GALLOP MEANINGS
The gallop comment simply reads your horse's ability "number" and gives you a text output, placing the horse in one of several ranges of abilities; as mentioned, ability levels can vary (fairly significantly) within horses with the same comment. Gallops, besides being an exercise, are most useful as a means of judging young horses. I find them nearly useless once a horse is racing; if you're confident the horse is running at the right distance on the right surface and with correct equipment, not only do you not need the gallop comment to tell you about its ability level, but the comment might mislead you into thinking the horse is more or less than the sum of its parts.
