 Re: Up Jumps A Monster
Jamie probably has an earlier copy on ttf file thats how most us lge trainers do it Quote: Thanks Paul. Just chipping away a couple hours as and when I can, hoping to get myself a proper National contender for when the league begins and probably a Gold Cup horse and that'll be about my lot. The great thing is this guy hasn't been crossed with Annie Power yet (totally unrelated line) so hoping for something magical god willing when I get a moment to throw them together. Haven't even bothered with the flat side since the new patch made us start from the beginning again.  Nice when you get 2 top class unrelated breeding lines can take you forward light years most of mine are related from 6f up 1m6 2m+ are from different families and looking forward to crossing them with some sprinters & milers

I forget sometimes because I just play for fun, league second and don't bother with Ttf files

 Re: Up Jumps A Monster
I intend to get to the jumps side sometime. I have a question - One season in my flat game I had 4 2yo's of roughly the same breeding - between 1m2f and 1m4f distance. For the hell of it I decided to race them in a home gallop to see what I had. I never use the home gallop feature and I was surprised when after the gallop the head lad recommended one of the horses would be a good jumper (this is a flat only game). Looking at the jumps bars and overall look of the horses this horse I would not of thought of as a jumper. Do you guys use the gallops feature at all for the head lads thoughts on who would be a good jumper?

 Re: Up Jumps A Monster
I finally crack it, it seemed to be mission impossible but I finally bred a 4m4 f.

 Re: Up Jumps A Monster
Don't forget to pop a screenshot up Ghost, most of mine start dropping peak by the age of 6. Boston Bob did the same but retained enough ability to see him win races right up until he was 9.

 Re: Up Jumps A Monster
 Named after the first grand national I seen. Hopefully he will produce more 4m4 horses than his father who is the only 4m4 horse I've had but only ever produced 4m.

 Re: Up Jumps A Monster
My best grand national horses in the league last season we're 3m4f (Whisper Bridge), 4m (Whispering Wind) and 4m (Compatriot).
Just because they don't have 4m4f in the distance, doesn't mean they wont excel over it with age, so don't chuck them away because you may end up losing some absolute stars.

 Re: Up Jumps A Monster
I like to keep everything simple so to save time, the only horses I try outside their distance is my better/special horses when I get close to trailing for the league. I wont even run them over the wrong ground. Because trailing takes so long on this game to work out u better horses u got to keep it simple. I might lose a few good ones along the way but im happy the way I do it. That's the good thing about this game is u can do it lots of different ways to get the good horses.
