I Just randomly wanted to know how many horse you have got and if you wanted to know i have 80 to 90 horses

Try to stay between about 25 - 50 usually.

training for lge so just keep best of the best

Start of each season I have around 50-70 due to breeding, but that thins out to around 40 by June when i assess which horses are not worthy to be in my stable. Also I find it makes the season much more manageable with 40 horses.

So I selected 21-40.

I think I would lose my mind if I ended up breeding more than about 20!

Likewise i never breed more than 20, i breed about 15 and sell the ones that arent worth a place in my stable, even tho sometimes they turn out to be monsters lol.

How do you decide which ones to sell, I got about 25 2yo's to sort out but don't want to get rid of wrong ones.

At first i look at the ones where stats arent that impressive and sell a few and keep some for maidens and etc and if they don't impress then i sell them and keep the good ones.

Trial the ones with similar preferred distances on the gallops a couple of times too

Potential bar confuses me, is the end of green as high as they can go when there is no foggy bit at the end?
I got a 2yo from last season undefeated after 5 races from listed to Group 1 and as got a figure of 110 but potential bar as reached end of green with no fog after it.
Hope the fog explains possible potential.

Bill

Theres light green and dark green once the light green has rached the dark green bit then it cant go any further as its reached its full potential. hope that explains it a wee bit.

Thanks that what I thought so unfortunately my 2yo cannot improve which is bad news.

Bill

The maximum potential bar does still keep going up until the horse reaches around 5.

potential goes up every year

so dont sell 1s with good potential cos they could have max potential by 5

Anything over 20 and I'd find it difficult to manage.
