i dont see how you guys get through so many seasons so quickly lol its taking me ages to get 1 season finished, probably because i watch and bet on each race every day.
one question as i'm still getting used to it, what does it mean when a horse 'ran green' ?

Means it needed the run and run about a bit some do on debut always judge it by its second run.

I usually do ten game days per day on average - like you watching all races.

By the time the next Starters Orders comes out I have had a decent twenty-five year career.

Not much good for league purposes but there is so much to enjoy just playing the game.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you want to enter the league open up a new game and just buy all the group 1 horses that come up for auction.

Can usually get through a season in ten minutes - no racing just purely looking for good group 1 winners.

Makes you competitive in handicaps off low weights.

Thanks guys. Jockey feedback said he ran very green and should improve on this. Try a furlong shorter next time.
.....it was a 5f race - what can be shorter?

Well they do run 4f in usa in real racing perhaps that's something for SO6 on the states Schedule mark can look at.

welcome to the forum Jester


1) I'm a slow player too, takes me 3-4 months IRL to complete a season. Like you I watch stacks of races and enjoy playing this way, I don't bother with the league anyway. There's a few of us on here that play this way.

2) I'm guessing your 2YO is running early in the season? Give it a month or two, and you won't get the message that your horse needs less than the minimum distance.

Thanks mate, also i dont get it when they tell me i cant put a certain horse into a jumps race as he has flat form but i see AI horses doing it all the time, is there certain jump races i can enter with flat form?

You cant enter a horse with flat form in NH Flat Races

o i c now thanks for that i'll rethink my races now then, obviously i wont try racing them over jumps if they have no jump bar though

I would ignore the red jump bar. I have won loads of races in the league with horses that have no jump bar.

same here

trialing in CK shows up quality jumpers (not in game)

My Lge horse Dunguib has no jump stats at all his jumping ability bar is empty (but he is a class chaser)

& he just won the Queen Mother Champion Chase in the Online Lge
Talk about timing

Well I was backing Dunguib all the way. If only the real horse could have done it.

I hope in the new game the jumps bars mean more. Otherwise what's the point of having them.

here are his stats as 5yo not great jumping wise but jumps great iin CK

Agree with this. It shouldn't be so random as to see a horse with nil jumps potential be a beast over fences.
