I'll be ready next June I reckon. 9 seasons done now, and about 30 horses bred. I am really starting to get some nice ones though, hopefully they'll trial well.

Air Africana bumper wonder sire does it again Bumper trials going very well his well never seems to run dry


All Trials have no pacemakers in

Only thing is now i have about 26 new 4yo to trial
and around 30 new 2 milers to trial over hurdles & Chases

The Chosen One

Blimey, in-breeding much?!

It works well but you could breed 10 of them and 9 would be stir crazy but you end up with 1 gem
i think if i pushed this fella with pacemakers he could get into low 2min34secs no problem he is my
quickest bumper horse ever and thankfully ultra consistent

Ok trialed the new batch of 2 milers and found no better hurdlers or novices

BUT found some belting 2 mile chasers

Munich to Montpellier is a superstar in the making
scored in 15 of the 20 trials ultra consistent too and all 3 are also
quicker than the last 3 i had



So the Team has 7 members so far

2 Mile Bumper
Air To The Thrown 6yo S 50 Pts 4 T Wins
2 Mile Chasers
Munich To Montpellier 6yo M 48 pts 4 T Wins
Boxing Clever 6yo M 36 Pts 4 T Wins
Royal Battalion 6yo M 36 Pts 3 T Wins
Triumph Hurdler
Heartz On Fire 4yo S 60 Pts 5 T Wins
2 Mile Hurdlers
Cheltenham Bumper 6yo S 84 Pts 9 T Wins
2 Mile Novice Hurdler
Imoerialistic 4yo M 67 Pts 5 T Wins

Now back to breeding stayers from scratch already made a start

That's what I love about this game, u get a good horse like that and u hope they come up with the goods in the breeding barn. There's nothing better when they do.

So Far Greenbank Park has not produced anything for next season.

He is so reliable he has fathered my League bumper horse 3 seasons in a row now
and also produced the QM winner this season quite a sire
it only took him 2 crops to find 1 better than cheltonian he is exceptional really

Update on Breeding stayers

well after spending the best part of 4 hours at the sales yesterday
i found some decent game breds to start my breeding project
i then bought in my best stayers off the flat and matched
surprised by the early results i actually thought it would take me
8 - 10 seasons to find full bar stayers heres a select few



Obviously i am a long way off trialing anything yet
but Bull of a Mare is going to be a nice Mare for stud

WOW what a season

Bull of a Mare wins Cheltenham & Punchestown Gold Cups
Collinder had an up and down season some major wins though
Hoover Dam was unbeatable in Novice Hurdles and got his G1 at End of Season

Only Hoover Dam was fit to export other 2 the dreaded dark green on there bars



Hoover Dam will be exported and go to stud but the in game version will go novice chasing
next term the other 2 will continue their careers on the track in a hope the dreaded dark green goes away
and i can export them

What's wrong with the dark green? Does it mean horses don't trial as well, or is it just because they don't have full potential? From the looks of those pictures only Bull of a Mare has any dark green, the other two are just off full potential...?

Look at the pic of Bull of a Mare's Bars the top Bar has about 10 - 15 % Dark green so has not reached her max potential -
which is a no no for exporting

also i am expecting Collinder to reach full potential next season that bar should fill

as you can see hoover filled his bar by end of season

I see. So it is because full potential is better than 90-95% (obviously), rather than the horse's ability being adversely affected due to having the dark green? Thanks Paul!

UPDATE

Great season again

Hoover Dam has a storming season as a novice chaser & Remains unbeaten
Bull Of A Mare defends both Gold Cups there could be a huge clash next season
in the Cheltenham Gold Cup between the 2

Collinder has yet to reach max bar but continued to win G1s

now you can see i am taking it slowly Cat
Also I only export horses that are 100% (with No Dark Green)



Don't think Bull of a Mare will ever get rid of the dark green but she is on her 3rd season at stud i get her 1st 3yo's next season

Also, with the Air Africana in-breeding bit. Is that all the same horse? Or is it the same horse transferred into the game again and again once the previous version's potential has depleted. I'm having a major problem with this, I can only use horses for a season or two before their potential is below 50% and then I'm not convinced they're worth breeding from. It would be good if we could get the horses a season after breeding rather than having to wait two seasons, I get so confused!
