SD Handicap

Why is well armed coming up at 16-1 when he very well may be to post time favorite, 3-1 in the morning line.

I have simmed this race 15 times, 8 times Well Armed finishes last the other 7 times 8th or 9th.....

I cannot get a gauge on this race through my sims...

well armed wins for me when I ride him? horse racing

This is intresting . I have been able to win with the race horse several times as the jockey? I like him tomorrow and so does his connections. The horse game simulation is tough to gage . It might be the darn horse racing surface ?

yea well armed usually sits

yea well armed usually sits 2nd or 3rd then fades bad in the stretch, hopefully thats what he will do later on because i dont think he will run well either.

So much for that...

I always thought Well Armed was overhyped and I was excited to see ESPN doing a bit on him thinking people might wager more money on him. However, contrary to the sim it turned out he loved the poly surface, running fast early fractions effortlessly to win. Kind of a pattern among Tiznow offspring. They relish synthetics. Surf Cat I feel is still the better horse however. Unfortunately he came with his B game today, showing nervousness and getting hot before the race. I bet against him as a result but to my surprise he still finished 2nd. I'll still bet against Well Armed next out. He'll be heavily bet in the Pacific Classic and I highly doubt he can get 1 1/4 miles. Especially after the fast race he put in today.

Surf Cat...

In the sim Surf Cat always duels for the lead. That is kind of unusual I think. In any case he still finishes well. When I pull him back off the pace a bit he tends to win quite frequently.

Well Armed

I still dont understand why Well Armed in the pre built race is the 14-1 6th choice?

well armed needs to be

well armed needs to be adjusted and surf cat should be a stalker. no big deal they got the last 4 of 5 right.

horse racing general comments

we are looking into making the adjustments for certain race horses in our horse racing game . The funny thing was I was able to win several times with the race horse Well Armed ? Not sure what to say. I had Aaron on 2 plays yesterday but not the 80.00 horse . That was just to cool (I am very glad for him )
