 Re: Owners Mode
If u two get any monster's post them. And post their ability bars to see how good we could get them.
It's going to take a day or two for me to get my US schedule sorted, I've got to arrange about 450 races into it.
After a week or two i'll race the best I bred against my best league horses. I think it will be interesting to see how good a mix bred horse will be.

 Re: Owners Mode
 Bought this fella for 1,38 million as an unraced 2yo i was surprised they went to that price because he is not by even a group winner He is a nice gamebred won 2 legs of the USA Triple Crown and the Breeders Cup Classic Back as 4yo targeting the world cup my 1st batch of 2yo (Stallion breeding to gamemare or mare breeding to gamestallion) are about to be named

 Re: Owners Mode
Quick update on my new game (Only Allowed to Breed with a game mare/stallion) The Road To Amarillo is a G1 winner wow so speedy early on in her career her winning times are nothing special but you have to remember this is bred by a gamebred mare (Potluck) Guineas is a big target but starting to wonder will her stamina go up anyway she is going nicely  I have had to stick a few out to grass here is how the rest have done Bay Hill looks a real prospect scoring in conditions company over a mile Royal Engineer won the Coventry but got outpaced in the Superlitive needs a mile Algarve ran green on debut  Really Enjoying just playing the game again not rushing through season i had forgotten how good it was to play slowly and enjoy the challenge i think the gamebred breeding evens the game up nicely would recommend it until so6 arrives i got so bored with owners mode to be honest will keep you posted i think i could win all 5 classics next term with this batch

 Re: Owners Mode
I done my US schedule and I'm about to play it tonight, I'm looking to forward to playing it normally again. I've not done that in almost a year. Paul I couldn't bred another season on this game my brain is sizzled with league breeding and its good just to get back to basics.

 Re: Owners Mode
Sticking with owners mode for realism and I don't want to be breeding monsters, I like to play slow and watch a few races besides the ones mine run in. Never got past season 5 since SO5 came out.
