Post What is the handicapper thinking
The handicapper has raised my horse 22 pounds for 1 win in a handicap, I have never seen anything like this in game.The worst thing is i told the jockey not to go clear at finish.

Not sure pal maybe if the horses that you beat was rated 80 and 79, if you beat them easily maybe the case but does sound bit harsh

Aswell just a quick question why are you breeding mate when they have not even won any group races as blood lines are important and would be surprised if you got anything decent from doing this???

Not everyone is aiming for league horses. Maybe he hasn't cheated, is just playing the game and is trying to get some money.

Yes i havent cheated, what i do is buy cheapish mares that are running in group races but not placing.
I then send them straight to stud and start breeding.
I sell half of my 2 year olds each year and this means i can buy better horses for stud each year.
These horses can produce group and listed winners and the odd group 1 winnner

This is so annoying. The don't go clear finish doesn't seem to be working. I told a jockey not to go clear at the finish in a novice chase because I wanted the rating to be low so it could run in the national. It won by 15 lengths... rating of 121!! Ugh it's so frustrating. I'm sure it's conincidence but it seems whenever I try and get the horse to not win or win by a small margin it always seems to go up in the ratings the most... Another horse just won the Betfair chase by 2 lengths, it went up 2 pounds... How can a handicapper go up more than a G1 winner?!
