hi just wanted to know what times are good when trialling two year olds to see if u might have a star in the future..if there are times for 5f 6f 7f 1m 1m2 1m4 for two year olds that would be amazing..just want a to know wat are the 2yr standard times in ck so i can use it as a guide in the future...thanks

p.s those are not standard times above i dont think that was ever done they are just my own PB's

i no in so4 5F i hit 58 secs with a 2yo in ck it won qiueen mary in lge so i am way off my so4 times

have not done any work with my 2yo just exported my best performers in game

what i have learnt from last year go with your most consistant not your quickest

i had a freaky quick 5f 2yo last year who was quickerthan anything else but performed poorly in lge but my most
consistant 5f 2yo had a very good season

how i trial
once i have a good group ready to trial say 15-30 i trial them over 15 races but set a qualifying time
eg. 5f 100.30 if i get a trial that times say 100.44 i dont score it as a trial i just go again
you get the odd slow time and you dont really want that result because some of your less consistant horses will score decent point in slow races and you really dont want that

i come up with qualifying time by doing a few trials to find my best time then usually add 0.15 secs to the time and that sets
qualifying mark

i then use a point system to find out my most consistant top 5 placers score points

i award points like this
1st 6 pts
2nd 4pts
3rd 3pts
4th 2pts
5th 1pts

at the end of my trials i count up the total points and i end up getting my most consistant
the cream will always rise to the top this works for me takes a bit of time but you only really need to do in depth trials when you
have a good group of them

i also trial new horses at end of each season but dont keep score if they are decent i will keep them for serious trialing later

hope it helps (any1 else do something differnent i woud like to hear how others do it)

thanks so much for the info..will be in the league for the first time...wat set up do u use for picking ur league squad?i heard that the stable limit will be 15 so how many 2yr olds do u use and at wat distances do u add any 5yr olds etc?..hope that makes sense....ps those times are super fast im not even close..how many seasons u in??do they become great 3yr 4yr 5yr in the future?

5yo they hit max potential mate

make up of your sqaud depends really what you have

i will prob go 2yo 6 3yo 4 4yo+ 5
but everyone is different
i will have to aim at handicaps because there are a good few ahead of me right now

ah ok thanks..i will be aiming at that very low handicaps.lol....when do u think the new season starts?

september was mentioned ages back but nothing has been mentioned recently
i no rich is working on a whole new schedule and new format so hope it keeps him busy for 6weeks reason below

so i am hoping not before october because have 2 trips booked 11 days in september and 5 days early october

so would love rich to say mid october no pressure rich

As a new trainer I really wouldn't worry too much about where you are with your horses. Read what you can about breeding and using the ck to see the results and help with future breeding. Dont keep or breed with horses that are no good in the ck.

I've improved my stable a lot over the last 2 weeks but I think thats enough for me. Got to have a life still!!

i would love september but october is ok to because in september i got to plan my kids birthday party and stuff..maybe i can start a jumps game but i would not know where to start because i know nothing about jump racing...lol..but still hoping for september it only takes minutes every week just to upload i guess

hi keith i guess breed the best with the best in ck and hope for the best....yeah i know what u mean my wife gets so mad at me sometimes she does not understand why i like the game so much..this game is the closest thing to horse racing here in the philipppines and trust me i live in the deep jungle of the philippines where there are monkeys everywhere in trees and stuff.lol..

I've been in Vietnam for 2 months and since my girlfriend went back home to work I've played the game too much. So time for a break and however I do in the league thats how I'll do.

My girlfriend loves monkeys, maybe we'll drop in next year!

we are very near to each other i guess 5 hours by plane...wat do u do in vietnam?.any real horse racing over there?..yeah hope to see u next year i will buy the beer..

yes i have found that too you have to pull away from it
it can take over i got away last weekend with the family and so5 and the lge seemed not too important in reality
i like you keith put in too much time for 2 or 3 weeks but when i saw how far behind i already was i thouight no more just a few bits of
tweaking and stick with what i have got because to catch up would take a month playing 12- 15 hours a day and that aint for me

So so glad am away from it all now. The league is awesome but the playing is a nightmare.

you are not wrong Hemz the amount of time needed is too great i really hope mark looks at making trialing and exporting more simple in so6 and add new features for lge trainers

you just become a zombie robot after a while training for the lge
i got to the point were i just clicked past races to cram in seasons fast
