Oh crap crashed.

Bug not fixed in the combined....


New game on the way over the flat.Hope the condition don't go down after 1 season.......


Oh dam

Bought a sprinter early in the game and he won 11 G1's in the first season,(he was a 4Yo)Saved before end of season and continued his condition went down to 90% and so did the others i had.So i re-loaded it and retired him as well as the rest and bought every 2YO in the auction(all were unfit and the condition(red bar) never went higher then 90%,even after 6 months of waiting,I re-loaded it back to the end of the first season and kept the horses i had and continued,As before all of the conditions(red bar) never went higher then 90%.
The horses did win some races throughout the season,A lot of claiming races and selling races.The G1 winner never come anywhere near again to winning a Group race.(i put this down to the condition bar being at 90%)

In the first season i bought a few horses and retired them straight to stud.The condition bar was full on retirement,But now it's gone down to 90% also.Just hope the yearling's are not stuck at 90%.

Not sure if this is a bug or if it's not even a problem as other trainers sell horses with them also at 90% so there's also must be the same.

Seems i still need to learn how to play.

As far as I am aware the red bar never reaches 100%. The green bars should and they are the main ones that matter.

That's what I thought as well Keith.

Colin - Do you mean that the bug that caused the combined game to deteriorate after 5/6/7 seasons (no horses appearing in races etc) is no longer an issue? If so, great!!


I Don't think it has been fixed,I never got that far only played up to 2 and a half seasons and it kept crashing on me,there were a few races tho with no horses in them,But i had that from the start,I have deleted it now and started a new season over the flat UK,On season 5 now and my young ones cleaning up.

It's the conditions thats bugging me now,Ever horse i have the red condition bar is only 90%.I have 6YO's and 2YO's in my stable,All are at 90% and won't go higher.(no matter how long i wait)Other horses are the same in other stables so i do win races still.I have thought my stable might have a virus and looked everywhere,But nothing found.
Just wondering if everyones games do this or is it just a few.Perhaps i miss doing something or just don't know how to handle the horses and tire them out.But i find this hard to believe when i only raced 2 horses 4 times all season and 1 horses 12 times G1's mainly.

Well thats not true,In the first season all horses start with full red condition bars.The computer races the crap out of other horses so you would expect there's to go down with all the running they do.But when you have 2YO's and they are yearling's out of your own stable you would expect them to be 100% condition not 90%.even when you buy a new 2YO in the auction at the end of the first season they are all 90% red bar.The same with the next auction at the end of season 2.

I may have the colours mixed up but one of the condition bars never reaches the top. I'm not sure you realise that?

I have just checked my games out and in the first season the red condition bars for every runner in my stable are at 100%, but, from the second season onwards they never get back up to 100% and the green bar goes down after a race and gradually goes back up over time in order to race again. But, I am sure that the red bar gradually goes down with more racing and NEVER reaches the 100% it was at the start.

Sorry I never noticed it being full at the start, though not necessarily for every horse? In SO4 I think it was the same and dont think it makes any difference. My horses still win every G1 I enter them in if they are the real deal. The green condition bar is 100% and the red one is 90%.

I dont think the red condition bar being at 90% is having any real effect on your horses.

I don't think it matters either Keith, like you said if a horse is good enough it will win races it's the green condition bar that you have to keep an eye on prior to a run.

I do agree.
The condition bar(red) ain't important when it comes to racing.

I just don't understand why the 2YO's are the same,Surely they should all start at 100%.

Not that i am complaining,My 2YO's are cleaning up.good times too....

Still a lot more to learn yet.
