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.

Track records
I was just wondering if there is a way to get track records on the game. Each person could start out by setting thier track records with the first race they run at a certain track and distance and then they would have a time to shoot for, just a thought. I would love to be able to attemt to break a track record. Just wondering.

I hope the trainer version has all of that and some.....Workouts, even workouts with other horses of ur choice...breeding, personal and public track records :)
I am a fan of track records, but I have been out of the loop for a few years. I think the World Record for 1 1/4 is 1:57:3 set out in Cali. I'm thinking Spectacular Bid but I don't think so. The World record for 1M was set by Atticus in 1:31 give or take 1/5 on Santa Anita's Turf (yes turf). 7f to my knowledge is 1:20- set by Distorted Humor. I know they run some rediculious times @ Santa Anita @ 6 1/2f down the TURF hill. They will post 42's for the 1/2 sometimes. They say about 6 1/2f so I go by the 6f times which are usually in 1:06-1:07 for the good allowance horses.
In HRF, I just bought the BUNDLE package and go through all the horses they have and pickout the best sprinters that I could find going 6f. The best I could do so far was a 1:08:1 by Daves Friend. I went the 1/2 in 43:3. I only have run this a few time but will post when I do get into the low 1:07's

If HRF runs true to form then try Santa Anita's Turf going 5f. I just ran a race using The Best Males of the 90's. I used a 14 horse field and used myself as the Rabbit. I went 21.47,43.75 the Winner went in 55.51 so that is a benchmark for me. I know 5f could be run in 53 somehow.

I like the track records concept too....maybe keep them posted on the website for easy access.
As as asside I am trying to break the elusive 55 second mark for 5 furlongs...have not done it yet
Track records would be a fun addition to the trainer game.
