Has anyone experience their riding orders changing in between exporting and running in the CK? Two of my NH horses' orders have changed from even pace, don't lead, don't trail to race handy. Oak San Rose and Oak Odd Mira, luckily for the former he has proved he is good enough to overcome this. But it seems to have ruined Oak Odd Mira's chances in the league, he just doesn't stay 2m leading all the way!

I wondered if I had selected the wrong orders, but when I checked in game both are/were (Oak San Rose no longer exists in game!) surrounded by horses who have slight hold up orders. They are my only two even pace horses so it seems to be those tactics only. Anyone?? Or does the CK/Race Kit really just hate me?!

thought it was all my fault don't go blaming the CK

You're not the only one. All my new uploads definitely have no hold up or slight hold up instructions yet you see jockey remarks like restrained early or broke well and taken to rear. I haven't noticed any others changing from slight hold up/even pace to race handy though as none of my horses have ever shown any inclination to lead with one exception who will go to the front if the pace is extremely slow.

I really do think Mark needs to look at this. I suspect most trainers don't use instructions at all in the league which may be why not many are complaining but for those of us who do, it can be very irritating!

All my horses were saved with even pace instruction, but most seem to be restrained early, very frustrating to say the least.

It is not just in league races that this problem exists. when I trial horses in the ck, the same thing happens.

this has happened before

Well the racekit and CK are essentially the same thing, so the problem is upon exporting. Nothing should really change between uploading and running in the racekit.

So it seems to be just the even pace tactic, very odd. I'm pleased I'm not the only one. I did mention to Mark about the exaggerated hold up tactics and he said he'd have a look, so I'll mention this too.

PJ as I'm positive that you have somehow programmed yourself into the game, and therefore the CK. (Hence how you have clocked up so many hours!) Blaming the CK is in fact the same as blaming you, as they are one in the same! This is how I imagine you playing SO:

this is how i imagine you playing cat
