Post Legends Watch
Started breeding milers again a cross between my best flat milers and best Jumps Horses
so decided to bring in Olympic Glory Canford Cliffs Excelebration & Frankel Into my game the first 2 are active
the next 2 are due in the near future. I wanted to test how good the Legends are see if they have improved
since the last time i tested my own best against them.

Image

From What i have noticed and i Know in Real Life Canford Cliffs & Olympic Glory were not world beaters but top class horses

Canford Cliffs
Regularly gets beat by other gamebreds which really should not be the case in fact in my game he has only won at maiden level
he is 1 from 8 runs .

Olympic Glory
In real life i would say OG was not as good as CC the legend would have been beaten on debut even if my horses were not present
Again a gamebred finished ahead of him in his maiden.
i have only faced him twice and beat him twice since then he has won 2 Group 2 races he is 2 from 4 and looks pretty decent will be interesting to see how my 3yo get on against him next year.

Its just my opinion but i dont think legends should be regularly beat by other gamebreds maybe an odd time for realism.

Looking forward to facing Frankel he gave my best horses a really tough time even though i got the better of him he was a tough nut to crack.

Frankel is awesome I Only took him on with 1 2yo but will throw the kitchen sink at him next season
Unfortunately Demolishing Frankel did not live up to his name he was well and truly hammered several times by the great horse.

only took on the other legends once this season they both had up and down seasons.

Well the only time i beat Frankel was when he was giving weight away or when he got boxed in
with a clear run he is unstoppable. I threw everything i had at him.

I think we might need to use this frankel horse as a pacemaker for the league. :lol:


When I was breeding milers last week I had to battle him, this one race my horse and him went head to head for the last 3 furlongs and put in 15 lengths on every other horse. He's fun to battle, I cant wait this week to battle secretariat on the dirt. He's good on the grass.
