Another thing that can be a little misleading.





My group 1 winner Keen Hunter has less bar than probably the 10th best 5f horse in it's trial.

the front bars mean nothing doug only there for fittness left over from the very 1st John McCrirecks SO they never worked just a guide

although when the horse distance guide messes up eg.it will say you horse is a miler but the bars will tell you its a 1m2f horse happens alot you can tell when youve seen enough

If I can find My Hurdler Jinxy Jack and the horses he raced against in trials I Done about 6 months ago I will show u something that goes against the grain.

I'm going all 5f then building up, how exactly do you get crusing burst into them? Don't think I've found one with any

ghost im talking flat i havntaclue about jumps not sure the same principles apply

I ran a trail just for a bit of fun to see how my top hurdlers 5yo's Jinxy Jack - Ruling would get on against my best 1m2 3yo furlong horses Legal Case and I was Shocked / Stunned when they beat my best flat horses. I thought I had wasted so much time on my flat team only for my jumpers to beat them.

It's called Luck, it really is.

I just done my ultimate trial. The race was over 1m3 on g/s ground.

In The Red corner my best ever ( in any game) 1m4 horse. Rakaposhi King - Won his League Maiden and beat the Derby winner by 3.5L.




And in the Blue corner. My good Hurdlers Callisoe Bay - Large Action - Bellator.

Now can anyone guess how far Rakki should beat them slow coaches by.

lol "luck" i really wish i never posted now such a dissmissive comment hope someone improves their horses and the rest i wish good luck

see you next season good luck willing

Well from what I called tonight - Bellator has good speed - so I wouldn't be surprised if he wins the biscuits

Sadly Doug he gave a Belator a beating

He means luck in finding a sprinter with cruising burst doesn't he mate? Not sure he's saying it's all luck

My original question was aimed at starting with sprinters, but none of them ever having cruising burst

Your other horse must be a bit of a gun!

I think it is a little luck to find a sprinter with high CB - any horse really - keep your eyes peeled and when you see it - see if you can breed it into your lines.
