Just wondering what the track conditions are for league races?
Are they random or set to "good" all the time?

Cheers

Gray can answer specifically how it is done but you can have all sorts of track conditions. The short answer is no every race isn't run on a strictly good track. One trick for getting winners is to have true mudlarks. They usually compete very well in the soft and heavy races because most horses are geared toward a good surface.

Thanks for that. Yeah i just realised i've been leaning towards "good" conditions in breeding.
Do you think the stat "going/surface adaptability" makes much of difference?

Cheers

Your horse will not be embarrassed or run poorly on a surface that isn't their preferred surface but it won't help breeding faster horses. A good stat to have high so your horse competes when the surface is wrong.

We have a app build into Tom the website Leon has written a programme that will decide what ever time in the Flat Season Or Jump season by which week we are on the ground conditions will be.

Would it be safe to say that heavy tracks only really happen in the Hunt and not the Flat?

No Doug but its most likely in the European Races you will get softer ground more at the early weeks and the later weeks for Flat and the Opposite for Jumps Good Ground early and Later with Heavy most likely in the middle weeks Leon has encrypted also the foreign races wherever in the world so our winter which the jumps is due to enter is the Aussie Summer so really Aussie courses should be getting fast ground but these are made up of percentages so it could occur soft ground turning up.
