Will the new synthetic racetracks change the way we classify a true champion in its current context?
Yes, as more racetracks move to these surfaces, we will have to consider the best thoroughbreds on those surfaces as champions.
19%
No, a true champion would perform well on any racing surface, thus the meaning of true champion.
58%
Not sure-it will be hard to compare old-time greats to current greats at least from the standpoint of speed and speed ratings.

The highest SR I have seen was a 144, for Count Fleet during my tournament.
man o war wins again at hollywood wire to wire by 5 L. race 3 moves to belmont park
Man O' War is so tough to beat. He gets the lead so easy and then coasts. Count Fleet is the only horse that I've beaten him with more than once. I can't imagine what Secretariat is going to be like.
yea, hes tough, just won the 1 1/4 at belmont so hes won the first 3 races, no one has even headed him yet. be interesting too see how he handles the turf race in race 5.
When you have time keep us updated on the running totals, please!
I am eager to see how yours turns out. Are you running all horses at peak/best age?
Just making a few little changes in the race set up will change the horse race out come. If you change the distence ,their age ,the race track or race track surface etc etc it will get the races horses to perform or run their horse race in a different way. The way our horse race game players ride the race horses makes a big difference as well. I tried some of the race set ups you have done and see many different out comes in the horse race with just a little change here and there. This is the way real horse racing works as well. We even have a factor that accounts for the break out of the starting game . If you ran the same horse race 50 times you will have 50 different out comes . Maybe the same horse wins more but things during the horse race will change . That is one of the best parts about our computer horse racing game
phar lap was the 9/5 favorite and closed to just beat out citation by a head at the wire. great race, as man o war did not like the turf, never got to the front like his prior dirt races.whirlaway at 20-1 finished 3rd. man o war was 8th beaten 10L. now onto race 5 back to dirt at 1 1/8 at belmont. man o war still has a big lead with 30 pts.
for the 2nd straight race man o war could not get the lead as his loses again this time it was whirlaway flying down the stretch to win going away by 6L. man o war still has a comfortable lead with 30 pts whirlaway 2nd with 12. race 6 will be the last at belmont 1mile.
race 6 goes to man o war, this time off the pace to win. race 7, citation goes wire to wire at churchill. will update pts later on after race 8. these sr that these horses are putting up are unbelievable. im suprised how close big brown was in the dream belmont going against some of these great ones. might throw bb or curlin in race 8 to see where they stand. what do you think??
final race was the breeders cup classic at monmouth park pts for last race were 20-10-5 although it didnt matter as man o war had it wrapped up and even took off race 9 to rest. man o war once again proved why he was the best in this tournament winning the final race wire to wire by 5 1/2 lenghts. he finished 9-6-1-0 with 75 pts. citation was 2nd with 33 pts but could not overcome too many 2nd and 3rds to compete with man o war. 10-1-3-5. and finally whirlaway finshed 3rd with 22 pts.
i did have a race with 06 lava man, and he went off at 99-1 and ran like it finishing last beaten 23 L. and that was the race without man o war in it.
