Hard to complain when you win 4 SC races....

I did, hence why i have had four pacer auctions so far this year (with another soon to open). Someone else can deal with this broken part of the game.Troy Gallant wrote:Call the wambulance. 8)

The next time someone has a TC race winner or like the best QH in the game and is whining, I will think, At least it's not Josh whining about winning four SC races in one day (unprecedented)!

Re: Hard to complain when you win 4 SC races....
I ran horses in five races on the day, in four of them i would not of had the favorite, in the fifth i'd have the top three betting choices. Now let's look at this as if this were common sense instead of whining, you do not see a broken system? If i have a barn capable of winning 2/3 of the SC races and am willing to unload it for peanuts because it is so obviously flawed, doesn't that say something is wrong? I have no complaints about thoroughbred racing as far as how the results make sense, pacers are a slot machine.The Steward wrote:The next time someone has a TC race winner or like the best QH in the game and is whining, I will think, At least it's not Josh whining about winning four SC races in one day (unprecedented)!

Sometimes the favorite doesnt win. That's what makes it exciting. If the favorite won every time, why would anyone else bother to enter?

I really don't understand why people fail to understand the point i'm trying to convey. The favorite doesn't win in thoroughbred races all the time, which is fine. In thoroughbred racing a horse doesn't go from losing a nw3l to winning a grade 2 (which for some reason is only a grade 2) next out.
http://www.simhorseracing.com/horse.php?HorseID=476705 for example and i could link a ton of these types of things in pacing.

This horse was third in a NW2 and then won a G3.

This horse (Former SC winner Year 38) went from winning a G1 Y39 W 7, winning a G3 T39 W9 to finishing 6th in a non graded stakes Y39 W12.

And the horse that won that race didn't break his maiden until his 3rd start and only other win was a sponsored NW2.
It's everywhere. If pacing is broke then QH is broke, then everything else is broke.
Just the way the game goes.

You linked a race with no horses who had won a stake before, i listed a race with multiple stakes winners, i fail to see the correlation, someone had to win that G3.
The Little Blue Bucket is like the Kentucky Oaks of pacing. (even though for some reason you have it listed as a G2)
Those two races have very little in common besides the fact they are both graded.

Stock breeds run in yards, very short distances, the littlest error and you can lose all shot and margins should be small in nearly every race.Pete Vella wrote:This horse (Former SC winner Year 38) went from winning a G1 Y39 W 7, winning a G3 T39 W9 to finishing 6th in a non graded stakes Y39 W12.

Pacing is going a flat mile, yet if you view the photo finishes of most of the races you would think they are running yards.
Watch a card of standardbreds and tell me how many of them end up like this http://www.simhorseracing.com/race.php?RaceID=509677 roughly two lengths from 1st to 14th.

On the contrary i'm glad you did, losing races like that are the reason i left the breed and in doing so make me even happier that i did.Justin Turner wrote:HAHAHAHA i am glad i was able to ruin it for you!!!
