Must admit I started putting off more important stuff in the last month to try and get my horses back up to speed but I have barely played now for 2-3 weeks and dont really envisage playing too much in the future. It takes a lot of time & IMO not enough was done to try and simplify the process in SO5.

agreed

Been playing for the last couple of weeks had some time off from work
Been trialing the 2yo's

5f - 59.8
6f - 1.12.5
7f - 1.24.7
1m - 1.41.5
1m2f - 2.11.1

All colts my fillies are poo

holy smoke my times are way off in the 2yolds

I haven't even bothered exporting 2yo's yet, but will start with a few from 7f-1m2 now as I feel they are my strongest distances. I think it wastes time exporting 2yo's until your horses overall are much better.

update

5f-------100.01*
6f-------112.88*
7f-------125.43*
8f-------141.77*
10f------211.53

still some way off your best nashwan and i would hate to see the times akhc 2yo's are clocking

Actually PJ I don't have many 2yr olds to test and wasn't really planning of running any but have started exporting some from the horses I am breeding at the moment. From a total of 7 horses so far, I'm round about where Nashwan is which begs the question what are his 3 year olds like?

Honestly though I probably won't have many 2 year old runners and I won't have any 4 year olds for the league as I don't run my horses past 3 yrs old (just trying to set the fastest times I can at 3). Am looking forward to the league starting though. All this breeding is starting to do my head in

i bet mate many hours of hard work
it will all pay off for you

super fast times paul....here are my two year old sprinters...

5f-1.00.4
6f-1.13.5

Yes i know i am super slow in times..lol...just wanna have fun in league..

Just out of curiosity how are folk testing 2 yr old runs? Looking at those pics it would seem age has been left at open. Is this how the league would run those races?

my 2yo trials only have 2yo in
thats why i leave the age bracket alone

There are 3 options for running 2 year old races - age set to 2 yr old, set to 2/3 year old and open. They don't produce the same results which begs the question how people are testing!

me personally i use open with 2x 2yo pacemakers in every trial
i have run trials with 2yo set and granted they do run slighly slower but not much in it

And you will have fun. There will be maidens throughout the season and also lower band handicaps. I don't think horses will be able to run every week in the league but there should be enough races for every trainer to get a win. Not every horse will win a race but if you have a balanced stable and place your horses well then fun you will have.

Any help or questions then ask away. I'd say I've learnt a lot in two seasons of SO4.
