Just to forewarn you, I will be trying to send over a couple tonight.

Having only just started trialing horses properly, I am breeding like mad to try and get some respectable times! I am concentrating on certain distances so there wont be many!

Thats good BB. If we can get as many of the new trainers possible to enter horses then your stables will hopefully all be at the same level. Remember the top trainers have been breeding for a LONG, LONG time and have played numerous seasons of the online league, let alone the 1000+ seasons on the game. As long as all trainers upload a balanced stable and place horses well you will ALL WIN RACES. Get as many in the trials as poss, you can learn from these also.

When trialing try to have a pacemaker for the 1m+ races and limit field sizes to 10-14 horses for the 1m2+ races. Cull the horses who are consistently near the back and narrow them down from there.

Yeh thats what I have been doing, although I do keep forgetting to put a pace maker in there!

I have been playing the game for a while but only ever bred based on in game results/times and the CK is a different ball game in some respects. I have some decent sprinters knocking around and my 10f horses arent too bad but significantly need to improve the rest of them, especially my 12f. I used to have a batch of real quality ones, but I kept breeding fillies and urgently need a quality stallion into one of my games!

Its just a shame work gets in the way! :D

I would recommend trialing with and WITHOUT a pacemaker as some league races last season didn't have that much pace, though the big handicaps tend to be run pretty quick. The results shouldn't change too much with and without but it might help you decide which horses are more consistent or will be a threat in slow and fast run races. Keep groups of horses and a few of us will do a write up on choosing which horses to enter into the league. Its not good uploading too many horses at the same distance.

Once your horses dont improve anymore for breeding you need new blood. So id start some NEW games and find a top class stallion and then transfer your mares.

I have a slight problem. I ran my trials today and noticed that I can not save a race after running it in the race builder? I am running the latest patch and the game on full screen.

Ascot 2m4 good going 3 year old up 4min45 to 4min46 I think that should be close to standard. That's what mine do anyway.
