She can judge how she wants, and Ripley can also do what she wishes with the personality. Ripley can choose to either edit the personality to suit Axelle's feedback or leave it

^{That's what I've been trying to get at this whole time. Ripley had all the right to either take my feedback/suggestions, if she would like to, or she can just leave it. It's all up to her and however she would like to play.}

I usually judge based on a combination of personality, suitability to the distance, workouts, and past record. Some days others are weighted more than the rest, other days they're just different.

^{That's how I judge as well. I take into consideration a little bit of everything. A little bit of personality, a workout or two, past race record, distance preference, running preference, maybe even the last time they ran or their most recent activity [such as a workout]. It all depends on the day and what gets weighed out more for the results. Everything does get taken into consideration, just some things outweigh others. In this race it was personality, who knows what it will be the next time I judge something. It could be most race record or more workout, or just completely as equal as possible [if I have the time and whatnot].}

By the way, Axelle, I changed up Goldie's personality a bit I think it should be a bit more clear now lol.

^{Awesome! I can't wait to read it! ;D
Edit: Super nice description Frosty, feels like I'm getting to know her now!}

Just remember that it rarely occurs that horse that does not run that length or runs best on that surface wins that race or place better then a horse that does (Just wanted to make sure you know this since you added in the distance preferences for what you judge a little bit on (Biggest thing for nearly all the judges here lol))

lol I just want to really make sure my horse isn't placed under another horse who doesn't run his best at that length and/or surface XD

^{That's exactly what I meant when I added that in. I know a horse who doesn't like the surface or length won't do that well against horses who enjoy running on the surface or length. I see it as common sense.}

Yea, I see it as common sense too but honestly, common sense normally isn't too common now a days lol (Not to offend you or anything XD I just don't know you at all yet lol)

I simply was double checking cause you said that you judged a little on it XP

^{I'm a common sense kinda person. And what I meant by a little was that I just double check if the horse is running the correct distance and surface, otherwise if they aren't running the correct distance/surface it will reflect negatively on them. That's all.}
