Hi everyone

Was just wondering if there is anything you can do to increase the amount of races a horse can compete in per season.It seems no matter how high the constitution of my horses,they can only manage 2 or 3 races and some only 1.This is so frustrating when i have them entered in big races only to have to pull out because the horse has had enough racing for the season.

any help greatly appreciated

only once

yes i have seen this before its a trait of a breeding line gone stale
it may breed out in a few generations but may have to start over breeding
a miler can comfortably race 10 times a season normally

The thing is,its not just horses ive bred.It is computer generated horses aswell that I have purchased from auction.I wondered if it was a glitch within my game save.Is it worth starting my game over?

sounds unusual that its happening with the gamebreds as well
i have had this problem before and it was a breeding issue

example a horse that cant take many races passes it onto the next generation in breeding and so on

i noticed this when they were 2yo there bar never went past 70% again for the rest of the season after 1 or 2 runs
i ended up starting again

sounds like i may have to restart then ...thanks for your help

So i started a new game and am still having the same problem.This is with my horses that i started the game with...1 of them had enough racing before having a single race!!another after 3 races...this is ridiculous!does anybody else have any ideas please?

just 1 thought you do have your game set on simple training
it now sounds like no one is conditioning or preparing the horse to race
like you have the game set that you do the training
if you dont have simple training you horses will never be fit unless you manually train set lots etc

i can't explain this if your game is set on simple training

No i have traibing set to normal.i always have the horses raring to go in time for the race....is it possible to overtrain?

What about training/racing on unsuitable going?

so its not set on simple training

any chance you can post an image of 1 of your horses with this problem
i have never manually trained you can't afford the time when breeding for online lge
it has to be down to the training method you set the horses
99.9% off all horses in the game can handle at least 8 races a season no problem
some can even race up to 15 times a season
if i could see an image it would help me

No i don't have itset to simple training...perhaps i will give that a try.I cant give you an image now because i have deleted the game.I will start another save and if it happens again I will post an image!

my save game playing has slowed down to a crawl because ive breed so many of my own and buy new ones each season for 15 seasons! i try and give every horse the best chance and even try them out on flat, hurdle, chase, in that orders as well as mix up distance for ive found STO5 very random and open in them. However ive noticed even my best horses with full potentail bars and speed seem to be poor this season and just not winning races id usualy win no probs, am starting t think its the "constituion" after reading this! can that be fixed or undone in a season or 2 or is that it? would going to pasture help?
