Post subject:  Breeding and 2 year olds at auction

Hi there ,

I've really got back into the game lately but wanted some help with a couple of things . In past SO's at the auction you just bought 2yr over a certain amount , and it would 9/10 win a few group ones along the way and be a superstar. On SO5 i've been buying 2yo's that cost over a million but most of them have only a 55% - 65% potential bar , and tbh they really don't amount to much. So are there hidden gems that are cheap but might have huge potential or should I keep buying them over a Million and just instant resell if there potential bar is not in the 85 - 100 %??

I have also been trying to get into breeding , because of what I have said above . But because you can only have 5 horses in the breeding barn does this mean the maximum number of yearlings I can have is four plus maybe one or two if I breed with the group one winners in the external horses part. I read somewhere about a gamepool of horses or something , what is that all about

Is there anyway to get a decent number of 2 yo's into my stable ? .......thanks

The maximum in the breeding barn is the same as your stable number. I have had up to about 100 horses in the barn, so you can breed almost as many as you want.

Once you get breeding I wouldn't bother buying 2yo anymore, your own ones will almost always be better. I'd only buy G1 quality older horses at Auction.

The game pool wont help you at the start
it is a transfer pool where you can transfer horses to at the end of the season
so you can transfer horses from one game to another

so is it possible mate , to say rush through a game for breeding purposes only . Get about 15 2yo's and export them . Then use them 2yo';s on every game I start by importing them?

Yes it would be but you could only import 6 at a time I think it is.

they would be imported as 3yos in new game not 2yo unfortunately
6 per season can be transferred

ok thanks . How do you play it mate do you import horses or just play the game through loads of seasons breeding on the way , or do you just concentrate on the league aspect

I play for the league so get through as many seasons as quickly as possible
once i have 30 horses to trial at a certain distance i stop and i trial them in the racebuilder to workout
who the best mare is and the best male is
then start over again and transfer multiple of the 2 best and flick through the seasons again
i rarely even watch a race in game
