Trial scores/Why is this horse doing so poorly?

[Byatzine]

There was a list of good trial event scores floating around awhile ago- I was wondering if anyone has a link or kept a copy of it.

I realize it's probably been auto-pruned, but I'm trying to figure out what a good trial score for Barrels is.

Here is one of the horses I trained for Barrels:

Hasn't gotten higher than fifth place.
Her trial time is 3.2-3.3
She's methed to 660.
She's got the correct shoes, and her disciplines are up.

So why is she doing so poorly?

no clue about that list. but 2.8 to 3.2ish is a good barrel trial. Hmm well for near optimal age anyway

Go to 11k events and check the the winners' scores.

[Byatzine]

Alright- I'll try that. Thanks. :3

[Rev]

Not a problem

This was the horse in question: http://www.virtualhorseranch.com/viewho ... se=1431532

Her trial score was 3.32.

Disciplines are at 200 and she's fully tacked, but she hasn't placed above 7th.

Should intelligence be maxed? I wasn't sure, as it's 0% of the score.

hmmm, is she methed to 660? If I had to guess from her times it would be meth, seems a bit slow but everything looks all right. My horses with that range of stats usually do 2.6 to 2.9 in events. And nope you don't need intelligence for barrels.

[Byatzine]

Yeah- she's been methed. Not sure what it is exactly. D:

Edit: And I did have Western Training skill at 100% when I was training her, if that makes any difference.

She looks fine now actually times are below 3 sec now, and the horses beating her have scores of 25k to 50k, so she won't be bothering them til her score gets up a bit
