Post subject:  Can i still gallop horses?

In simple training mode am i still able to gallop my horses? or would this disable simple training mode?, like to have a big stable so simple training suits me, but not having much luck with 2 year olds and wondered if galloping would help.

Yes you can still gallop them. Are you breeding? My 2yo's were never great untill I started breeding with good horses, even then its hit and miss.

just started breeding, the 2 year olds i buy tended to be rubbish but since using the gallops have improved a bit, even when i buy an expensive winning 2 year old they never seem to run as well for me.
currently having a lot of fun with 5 i bought as 2 year olds, now 4 years old, cost about 400k each and all pref 1m6 +, these are the quickest 5 out of 10, the other 5 have gone hurdling, just landed my 1st major gamble in a 1m6 C3 handicap, Spartacus gained its '30' handicap rating in a 5f maiden and just won by 6l despite being 10lb out of handicap!

I tend to find that if you buy a decent, or semi decent, horse from the auction its form immediately tails off. don't know why, it just seems to happen.

neves_rats. If you buy a horse from auction that has won a claimer etc I always look for ones that win easily at that level. I then run in handicaps till the form sucks so bad that it will be a good price in a claimer. Then lump on and it will win. I also do it with horses that win well at 90 handicaps I run them in Group races til the ratings drop right down then lump on in a 90 Handicap too.

My point was not horses youbuy dead cheap that have won a claimer or seller, I too do as you do, buy one that has won easily and see how many wins you can get out of it. My point is that, you buy a decent horse in the auction, especially NH ones, and, as soon as they hit your stable they go crap, that is seriously annoying, so much so that I have stopped buying any horses in the auction that have decent form.

Unless you just retire them. I do that with group winning sprinters that are sold in the auction. But I totally agree, unless you're lucky enough to come across a world beater in the auctions 9 times out of 10 their form tails off and they are no good for breeding or racing. I often find that buying 2yo's from other trainers during their first season. They win a group race then never some close to winning anything but a seller again!
