What do these mean and what steps should you take when you get this feedback? Horse ran freely" Could have settled better" Never get into race" Never get competitive" Thanks. |

bottom 2 would be they're out of their league. Top 2, ran freely means it didn't do what the jockey had asked i believe, steps to take i don't know personally, ive got 1 horse that does it and still wins. Other, i assume it means it struggled to settle in either at the start of the race or with the pace, only thing i can think of is to hire help for every race. |

Horse ran freely - I think it's when the horse is held up but wants to go on. I.e try racing even pace or handy Could have settled better - usually means needs gelding. Try blinkers first Never get into race - pace might have been slow for a hold up horse. Usually means they aren't good enough Never get competitive - same as above |

Generally ignore ran freely and could have settled better, I got that on nearly all of mine on SO4 and continue to in SO5 but they're still winning and running well. Only geld or sell a horse which the jockey tells you 'did not settle' or 'not settle' otherwise you're wasting what could have been a good horse for breeding. |
