hi im a new guy been playing so4 for 2 months and i am addicted..i was just wondering about horses from different countries becoz i saw pics and racecards from the posts i saw on here and wondering how come there are horses from different countries with a flag next to them and how do u get them.?im playing the us flat game and seen no horses from different countries.im on season 4 and i watch every race..pls help me becoz i would love to have a horse from another country thanks

They will come over to race in big races ie. listed, g3s, g2s and g1s

i have never seen any in the major g1s or g2s..is it becoz im on the us flat schedule?.how do u buy the foriegn horses?

You should have had some at the breeders cup at least?

Not even one..

Strange. Never played the US schedule myself, but this seems to be a bug maybe? As Ubar says, you'd expect to see quite a few in the Breeders cup races, so if they're not showing there, then restart a new game and see if they start showing up?

I'm on the UK schedule and i see loads of UAE/US/IRE/JAP horses, don't think i've ever seen an australian one though..

ok guys i started a new schedule but this time a uk schedule not us and found that there are many foriegn horse..i guess there not in the us schedule..thanks so much everybosy for ur replies and help...just have one last question..can u own a foriegn horse like buy one from an auction..do they show up in the auctions?.it would be nice to own a foriegn horse..i did not see any in the pre season 2 yr sales..thanks so much

it doesnt say, but itd be trained in uk.

what do u mean cotch?

when you buy the horse, it wouldnt keep the flag even if they were foreign, because then they would be british owned. The flags are from the owners i would assume, not so much where the horse was born.

Thanks cotch thats all i wanted to know

I can't recall ever seeing a foreign horse in the auctions.

i dont think foriegn horses get sold

i played the us schedule for a while and not many coming from overseas didnt really like the us schedule

Ive never seen a foreign horse in the auctions maybe this could be added in so5
