Post Advised number of runs for 2 year olds...
I remember reading on the forum years ago about only running 2 year olds a maximum number of times to prolong their careers or some other reason... Is there an advised limit?

Did not think so, Just a thought i had.
This one is one i bred, Stallion is mine, Mare is from 'other stables', Only just started receiving my 2 year olds and got 2 this season as first couple of seasons did not have much decent to breed from.

that horse does look extremely promising... hopefully he has potential beyond being a quality 2yo.... it would also make a brilliant breeder too... part I like is that despite it running in heavy when preference is firm it still won readily

exceptional matey to win group races at 6f 7f 8f & 10f is the Mark of a really good 2yo

Oaks nailed on id say

if you go for the guineas give jockey even pace dont trail challenge early instructions
or if you think she can handle it race handy

really nice juvenile

Will keep you posted how she gets on, She was sent out to grass after her last win as no races for her, I play my games slow and only have time to on days off but will update all the same.

Finally got around to continuing the game!, Here she is at the end of her 3 year old career...
Image
Kept her to 1m2f 1m3f and 1m4f, I would say she was best at 1m2f going on times, Barely lasted home over 1m4f, Times were slow over 1m3f, Over 1m2f she would either just get up or be drawing clear in final 1/2 furlong, She has about 5 course records, Mainly abroad. Have not sent her out to grass as may as well run her in the early foreign races plus got nothing good enough to cover her unless the games best 1m4f stallion comes available in the game pool or maybe at auction! (some hope!) He is a horse called 'Connor' Who wins all the G1 1m4f races he runs in!
The other 2 year old i had was not the same class so went juvenile hurdling, However i do have this one to look forward to..
Image
She is by far the best 2 year old i got this season and was sent out to grass after her last win!
