when i start a new game and transfer horses in for breeding which takes 2years so
i love buying low grade horse and trying to win a handicap
and land a big gamble just to pass the time away waiting for 2yo's to come great fun
i have had some horrors there potential bar not even 10%
but gives you a buzz when you eek out a win and back it off the boards when you no the day is today

i raced 1 horse 15 times in a season at all levels(handicaps) and he won his 15th race his maiden win in a 0-70 handicap
felt like the breeders cup classic to me

One of my homebreds started off quite poorly, but now it's suddenly improved and is rocketing up through the weights, and should have racked up a huge winning streak apart from the fact I accidentally entered it in a 1m2 race when it wants a mile.
