Each distance has a “target” Guts. Below this number, each point of Guts lost is worth more than losing a point of Stamina. Above, each point of Guts gained is worth less than gaining a point of Stamina.

In Sprint, this threshold is at 210 Guts. In Mile and Dirt, 260 Guts. In Medium, 320 Guts. In Long, 3000m has a threshold of 380 Guts, while 3600m has one of 440.

Guts is only slightly worse than Stamina while going 50 over this threshold point. Those 50 points of Guts will be worth 43~46 Stamina. The next 50 will be worth 33~37 Stamina. The 50 after that is only worth 30~31.

On the other hand, Guts is better than Stamina when below the threshold. If you’re 50 below, then adding 50 Guts is like adding 55~62 Stamina. If you’re 100 below, adding 50 is like adding 66~83. At 150 below, the 50 Guts would be worth 82~106 Stamina. It’s more impactful in the shorter distances.
