I am finally starting to get some good horses but a problem that I am having is that I am finding it hard to get them racing well in their maiden's due to them always starting the game with 0 confidence. I find that confidence is a big factor in the game and that horses who lose their confidence hardly ever perform well even if they are superior to their competition. If others find this to be a problem maybe it can be looked at in an update.

0 Confidence should only effect confidence if they get poor results?

Had plenty with top confidence mate so it's just your genes unfourtuanatly try and get some good gamehorse's in the genes and the confidence may improve.
