Post Horse with full potential
Recently started a new game with the UK schedule, and one of my start off horses was a 4yo sprinter with a full bar.

I dont think ive ever come across one before, i know plenty have on the forum! His first year he was brillliant with 3 g1s and a couple of seconds. So he was obviously not the wonder horse i was looking for. Next season he has been near last in all his races. His bar hasnt decreased? Thought it was strange such a decline! I hadnt even changed his feed lol

Hope i can breed some better types with him now!

what is his enthusiasm and confidence bar like cos if they low then drop your horse in grade for a few races maybe listed level to let his confidence grow ...................... only other option is that he isnt bred to make a 5yo .... if this is the case then be careful as it may pass onto offspring

I had a horse like that as well and I would put him in allowance races and he'd finish last. I'm wondering if this is something that needs to be corrected. I never seen any with a full bar in SO5

Wrong. I had several of them, although I found my horses who were almost full as opposed to full at 2yo were better horses at 3.

I can only comment on what i saw and i never saw one in any of my games in SO5
Also Never saw an Image of one on forum but if you say there were then i will take you word for it
i must have been doing something wrong best i got to was about 95% Full
Never quite reached 100% so just thought it was not possible had conversations with a few experienced trainers on here
(Can't remember exactly who but think one was Andy)was a fair while back but we came to the conclusion that it was not possible

I had just the one in SO5 and the bar was fully maxed out (dark green) after 2 races. The only problem was that after 3 races I had over-raced her (condition stuck at 75%) and was unable to export her for the league :( .
The bar remained full as a 3YO and she was the best sprinter in my game but she was knowhere near as dominant or devastating as she had been as a 2YO when nothing could get her off the bridle.
She wasn't even deeply bred, being by a gamebred sire and out of a first generation mare so there was a degree of randomness/luck which I hope is still the case in SO6.
