I have not read much of this but the gist seems to be times are affected by video settings. There is a theoretical chance that this could happen if the settings affect the frame rate causing it to drop significantly below 60 during the race but the settings would not affect races as long as the frame rate is at 60. All it means is that any league races would have to be run on a machine capable of running races at the recommended min of 60fps.

It does not mean that horses exported from a machine with a low frame rate would have any advantage or disadvantage over other horses.

OMG that's me out of the league then - I'm struggling to get 30fps.

You misunderstood. The guy who actually creates the league race should have 60fps not those who view the races.

Just got back into trialing after about 4 or 5 weeks off and notice the CK times are over a second slower than before at most distances
guess you have to go with consistency not times as the times are all over the shop
there can be as much as 3 secs difference in trial times which makes trialing more difficult than ever IMO
The Graphics are brilliant but for trialing purposes are a real pain as trials now take alot longer to go through now
from what i have seen on here the faster machine you have the faster ck times you get
for me trialing has become more tedious than ever

Good thing that's how I've always selected my league horses. Keep a spreadsheet listing each distance and keep the top 5 most consistent performers. Using a points system I widdle my large group down with a first series of trials to the top performers for each distance and then run 6 trials for the finals at each distance. I add up the points in these races - 5 first/4 second/3 third/2 fourth/ 1 fifth. After these races the horses that hit the CK afterwards run against the best I have.

The big pain is selecting these horses every time from the large pool I have collected. I have suggested before the best thing to have IMO is an option to save race field on the race build screen. The current option to save a group in the horse files screen does not cut it because you can't save a horse to multiple groups. Unless this has changed because I haven't trialed in a while.
