that time in good to soft is very competetive id say you have a derby winner there
beware if you go the trial route eg chester vase he will carry big g1 winning penalty

i dont no your schedule i have the japan new zealand and aussie derby in my game

hard to no where to put him before the derby

5 lengths mate. Forged clear.

I think I'll see how he performs at certain distances in the race builder before deciding

Looking like 10 furlongs for his 3yo season. Trialled him in the race builder against both my top 1m2 and 1m4 horses. He made no impression over 12 furlongs. Gonna stick him in the Dante.

Not sure of schedule but isnt the Dubai festival early in season? Would start its 3yo campaign there to be honest over 10f and then a trip to the derby

he will carry a hefty g1 penalty in dante but doesent mean he cant win it
also you get very mixed results when exporting b4 they race at 3

he could be a different horse after a full season then export he could get 12f nicely

if he was mine i would target derby i would go for the kentucky derby early may i think thats in default schedule then head to epsom
which in the game is not a great stamina test then target from there if he dont get 1m4f id target breeders cup classic with a trip to
arlington on the way.

good luck mate he looks a nice type

I exported him at 3, full condition. He also performs better on the gallops over 10. Gave Dubai a miss because I didn't want the "will be suited by further" message after finishing third or something! I could do a carlton house and go for the derby if we win the dante I suppose.

Here's my new stable star he has 12 derby winners in his family and 10 oaks winners generations of 1m4f quality horses
out of the 22 classic winners only 3 of them won Derby king goerge arc BC turf i hope he is the next one have not trialed him yet
but hopefully he will go well his father had a great career at 4 and 5 and his mother was from another game she also had a great career at 4 & 5 too
unfortunatly his father has not been great in stud of late he produces classic winners but bomb in big races at end of season like arc & bc
but hope genius is different.
also very nice time in good ground at epsom clocked 2min28 so quite excited about his future but time will tell.

That's a great horse pjrhodes, gutting about the Breeders Cup. Don't ever recall soft going there.

My boy won the Derby by a short head. I didn't bother with the Dante or any other race but looking back I wish I had put him in the Chester vase.

If anyone wants a that background picture then I would be happy to email it over. Just Private Message me your email address and screen ration you use on SO4 :)
