Thank you

Early Speed- This involves comparing the horse's time at the 3/8 pole and 1/8 pole to the "standard". Most fast community horses make the 3/8 at approx. 22 sec and 1/8 at 44 sec. Distances of 5 lengths are best for this since the horse will be able to run as fast as it can without fear of fading at the end. Basically, <22 and <44 is great, 22 and 44 is good, and >22 and >44 is bad.

Top Speed-This is simply the highest SSR a horse can get when running in a workout race. This varies per distance-it's top speed at 5f probably won't be the same as it's top speed at 10f.

Acceleration-Run the horse as a Far Back during a 7f race. Try closing at 2f left, 1.5f left, 1f left and see how he does. Furthermore, try alternating the distance of the horse from the leader-like try closing from 5f, 10f, or even 20f. Obviously if he can effectively catch the leader from 20f with only 1f left to go then he has excelent acceleration indeed!

Peak Age-After figuring preferred distance/type of track, run horse at different ages 5 times per age. If he is significantly better as a 3 year old than as a 4 or 2 year old then the peak age is 3ish. Change the month of race to be more exact. Or you could just cheat by getting a performance report.

Curves-Run horse on a 5f or 6f track, one with at least 2 turns with 2 or more pace horses. Jockey the horse, seeing how well it can handle curves at a full-on sprint as compared to the pace horses. Then, try taking each turn going really wide and seeing if it can recover.

Stamina-Run the horse on a 12f or more track with a couple pace horses. See how well it can keep going when the energy bar bottoms out.

Thanks.....that info helps alot!
