Re: Rest/vetting: strange things
Admin -I'm only seeing this thread now. Is it possible horses can end up "over-rested" because of this glitch?

Re: Rest/vetting: strange things
The only problem is I had 2yo on a specific schedule and now many of them were not fit for there week 2 debuts.The Admin wrote: ↑5 years ago Thank you for the specific examples you've provided. It is very helpful.
One note: During the break, if you don't do any activities (like gallop), your horses stay at a constant amount of tiredness (or rested-ness). If, during break, you Vet your horse today, and again tomorrow without doing any activities, the Vet will report the same amount of rest - it's not one day more rested because time isn't passing. Another way to say it is the Vet is telling you how rested the horse will be on Week 1.
However, it appears that the rest calculations didn't work correctly at the end of the year. All the logs and simulated tests show that the right operations happened, but your example horses show that they didn't. In other words, your horses are more rested than they should be. It's too risky for us to try to manipulate this now that we are in the break, so consider it a 'gift' that your horses got magic rest. Whatever the Vet says is correct.
We will run more simulated tests and we will monitor it very closely at the end of this new year. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I wouldn't think that a little extra rest would knock them down that much in fitness?Pete Vella wrote: ↑5 years agoThe only problem is I had 2yo on a specific schedule and now many of them were not fit for there week 2 debuts.The Admin wrote: ↑5 years ago Thank you for the specific examples you've provided.

Re: Rest/vetting: strange things
Over-resting isn't a thing. Fitness and rest/tiredness go hand in hand but they aren't the same thing. In the SIM you are either tired, or you are rested. It's not like you are Plus 99 Rested. You're just rested.

So over-rested isn't the same thing as losing fitness then? Good tidbit!The Steward wrote: ↑5 years ago Over-resting isn't a thing.
