What on earth does a sprinter have to achieve in so5 to get a 140 rating
milers 1m2 1m4 horses can get 140 rated very easily in so5 after a couple of runs
but poor old sprinters never get there in my game anyway

this is the beautifully bred SORRENTO who has done everything as a sprinter in the game and get a rating of 135

clocks 58.15 in ck only done a few trials with him
he will be back as a 6yo his target to get 140 rated

Its tough, the horse i put pics up in the horse profiles forum QUOTE UNQUOTE has been my best sprinter to date only got rated 130 and it only got defeated 2 times. ran 58.8 as a 3yo in the CK.

i saw quote unquote was very impressed wth the horse
ya its tough i have noticed that sprinters get a hike in ratings when they go down in class until they reach 130 then if you put them in g2 or
3 there rating then goes down

Hi Paul

You have a nice horse there is that inbreed
I had a 4yo get a rating of 133 but then i retired him to stud so i dont know what rating he would have had as a 5yo.
Has a 3yo in ck he clocks 58.2 dont know about 4yo i dont trail them that much i want fast 3yo's then i will get all the weight

its a very good point i have just started exporting 3yo my best is 58.5 but not done much trialing yet
no this one was not inbred

Im going away for a couple of days so keep us posted, maybe when i get back u maybe in the late 56's good luck

i would love to get in the 57s

Just done some proper trialing with 3yo and this is so far my best



sorrento is now 8 and has not declined 1 bit yet so will post updated image at end of 8yo season

I reckon it's harder to achieve higher ratings possibly because of the distance required to win by to get a higher rating, but I've noticed all my highest rated horses all are over staying distances and I regularly get 140 (admittedly they are my best horses as well -had a good foundation site that's still having an impact ten years down the line)

Might just give him 1 more season starting to decline
amazing career and my best in ck at 3yo & 5yo

UPDATE
won 2 more g1s and then beat 4 races in a row so retired to stud with 56 g1 wins

Some horse Paul bet the offspring are fast sprinters as well if bred with another speedy type.

Thanks Kev I have a copy of him at 3,4,5,6yo so started a new game and have my best female sprinters lined up to get covered by him
hopefully he becomes a decent sire & produces something that can get me under 58secs in ck
In his prime i dont think a gamebred had any chance of beating him

wow this one could be a bit special 136 rated and only 3
and by Sorrento i hope its a ck beast
