Yes I agree it does not feel as good as if it had come clear. To each on it's own. I did not spend hours doing all the cltr alt del. Not bragging anyway but just want to share my joy of finding this great horse. Even when it comes clean would have won me at least 90 G1s.


If Black Cavier loses a race we can't all pretend it didn't happen and re-run the race so she can keep her perfect record. To me your horse is not great but you've cheated to get it to be great and i don't know why anyone would care about cheated stats...

I assume others don't use this practice of restarting until they win to glorify the stats of their horses, would be a shame. How many great 'real time' horses remain unbeaten, a handful at best, that is my opinion anyway, i would rather see horses real records, so be it if they lose that is apart of the game.


re running a race to get the right result is just crazy cheating yourself no one else & whats the point
i always push my horses to the limet and try and get them beat i dont put a sprinter in the melbourne cup but push them to there limits and most get beat at some stage

It's exactly the same with me. You usually see my horses as 4 year olds with 36 races under their belts and most Grade 1's. The horses will have about 12-20 wins but I've never had one go unbeaten but I don't mind because I aim to win, not to stay away from losing.

Post Re: Finally
I'll chime in with my horses usually run between 8 - 10 races a year and if they're good enough to stay around for the end of their 5yo season I always retire them to stud. I only alt+ctrl+dlt at the beginning of a game to get a good bankroll going early and sometimes very rarely during a game when the game decides to give my horse the dreaded red arrow on the biggest race of the year. I'll also add that I'm a manual trainer which might put me in the minority. I strike at a 30-33 percent win rate which is double of what the AI does.

Even if I get the dreaded red triangle I don't ctrl alt del. I use it for the first week of the very first season only and that's it
to get some money into the kitty.
