Speed is not more important than potential in the long run and stamina 3rd? Cruising burst was 3rd most important. The whole point to potential isn't about how good the horses are now, it's about what they max out at. In the last season most of the top trainers had maxed out the 100 potential horses, and had most of the background stats maxed too.

With only seeing Potential, the only way to go, for me is to get the 100% potential into the very best CK kit horses. If they're about 75-90 just keep breeding them with the 100 horses an at some point you will get the 100% and the CK class into horses. Then you have the start of what you should use for the breeding lines

I have literally just hit this point now. I hadn't seen a single 100% horse in any game I'd played over well over 100 seasons. I now seem to be getting a lot of mares 100. And I've just this season got 2 x 100 potential stallions, both were 7 and both have beaten everything in my CK trials by 3 to 4 lengths each trial. Looks like they've just taken me to the next level now.

No one knows what makes a good league horse yet.

And I think we will all have old horses John makes sense for the jumps but all a bit of a nonsense on the flat, game is still a giant leap backwards for me.

In my flat game I have noticed absolutely no change in potential since latest patches its
exactly the same

I saw no change on anything. The yearly progression is also a total mystery to me. Right now I am less likely to enter the league than enter it.

This is the point I posted about months ago, depends when you bought an downloaded the game for me. Initially I downloaded it in the phase you couldn't get 100 potential. You already had loads from a previous patch. I never ever seen one no matter the amount of patches, but since coming out of BETA I'm seeing millions.

It's not a criticism of anything, it's just very obviously what happened. I also don't think it changed the ability, i.e a 90 in mine was probably just as likely to be good as 100 in yours. it just wasn't shown in the numbers.

Vinny it's not a bug, mark changed it a few patches ago. It said on the log. A few of us were saying about jumpers losing their ability quickly after 6 and it not being realistic and mark must have changed the code for horses potential to last longer. There is a upside and that is if u have a outstanding horse u can keep him in the league much longer.

Is there a possibility it's tweaked too far the other way now so the flat horses are peaking too late? My trials definitely seem to be massively in favour of 6yo+ horses now.
