Thanks!

Here's my favourite filly right now:

She isn't as good, or as versatile as yours, but I can run her into the ground and she will still win races. I haven't changed my schedule, so there aren't as many G1s on the calendar as with most other people here.

I just wish she never got boxed in in either the Cheveley or the Brocklesby. She has a terrible habit for finding trouble :(

A UAE Derby and a St Leger? That's an almost implausible double. Kudos :)


I know, I can't remember what made me keep progressing with the distance. Thing is, I have no idea what to do at 4? Shall I not race her until a G1 2m comes up or see how she goes over 1m4?

This.

I'm surprised she managed to run a good St Leger time though. I wouldn't run her over 2m unless you feel like taking chances with your horses like I do. I'd stick to 1m4-1m6f....even though I swear that looks like more of a 1m2f horse :)

Thats a nice wee horse at only 2, maybe a bit over raced but she has a future ahead of her :D

I know, I've seriously overraced her - I think September may have been tantamount to horse abuse!

She hasn't finished for the season though, she still has 2 races ahead of her - although thankfully she has a bit of a break before them.

Look at the condition bar, will the red bar go back up, I know the green bar will.

Is that what happens if you race a horse too much in one season? I've never had the condition bar drop apart from when you lose a fraction after the first season.

I wondered if it had anything to do with the fact the year in the game was 2267 and the horses gradually lose a small fraction each season?

The green bar did go up....very slowly. She had 2 more races, managed to get boxed in terrribly in both. Came a blanket 4th in the Racing Post Trophy, but won her Breeders Cup race albeit in a very slow time.

Next season's going to be interesting for her.

Yeah, it happens if you race a horse too often in one season, or if you race a horse too often in a small period of time.

Amazing!

How many (few) races do you watch in an average season?

Haha!

I seldom/never watch races through their entirety, I just press the tab key until the final couple of furlongs. I also don't have more than 25 horses in a stable at any one time, a lot of those horses are retired early as they aren't good enough for me to race or breed from. And I don't race any horse after it's 4th year, with the rare exception of those I want to try in 5yo+ Jumps races.

Finally, I have no life, so I have on and off devoted a lot of time to the game :)

Won't it be hard to give up SO4 when you have done all those years when SO5 comes out? I still play SO3, just can't stop and not play.
