Which of my hurdlers did u put in then I can tell u if it was my best hurdler. I think it's dangerous to trial against other peoples horses because u either on top of the world or u get a big surprise. I wouldn't run my horses in trial races because u can only bred what u can. My hurdlers are my strongest part of my team ( I don't know why) because I feel like I've spent longer on my chasers and they are no where near as good.
My breeding program has got out of control and its giving me more problems than answers, I've bred a lot of new hurdlers but I've stopped trialling them because they are all over the place. I need to get a handle on my jumps breeding but luckily I've got a few weeks to sort the mess out.
I used Asian Maize as a benchmark, it was the only 2m horse of yours I had access to. I appreciate that everyones horses will be better next season, but I was just curious what my new horses could do as they had improved so much on my previous best horses.
I am lucky in that no matter how the trial race had gone, it would not put me off my breeding program. I will just breed the horses as best I can and enter them in the league and hope for the best. That's what I did this season and somehow I managed to get 35 NH winners.
If I can breed a stallion of similiar calibre to the 3 mares, it will give a nice starting point for breeding. So far, all the stallions I have bred from the same pairings as the mares are about 4 lengths slower than the mares.
I have only just switched to breeding NH horses as I have temporarilly put my flat breeding aside as it was not showing the results I had hoped for and I would rather have a good NH team than a flat team.
