Ah k thanks for the help.... It is difficult with the one I started to breed with as like I said it was 7 at start of game....I will see how its offspring work out.... I so prefer horses to prefer quicker, same as everyone else im guessin but ill be willing to keep them longer now I know that. I have other horses I am breeding with though that matured by the time they were 3. Hopefully I will notice a dif

I have kind of a follow up question since we have discussed the potential bar. I have a horse that is a 3 year old who is doing a great job. His potential bar (light green) is not all the way to the end, but he has realized all the potential. This has been the case for several races. Despite that his rating has continued to rise in the last three races from under 130 to all the way up to 136 now. I thought that he would have leveled his rating out if his potential was all the way realized. Since that isn't happening what exactly is the potential bar measuring? Hope that makes sense.

Re breeding- Either as ive played this on easy mode- or ive been lucky. In a first season weekly auction, i bought a once raced miler rated 93 for over a million (thanks to sales and gambles i had the cash) and he turned over and won me both uk and ire guineas, and plenty more g1s, i retired him in the middle of his 4yo campaign, and he has breed some stars- basically from season 4 ive dominated the 1m, 1m2, and 1m4 division because of him!
