If it makes you feel any better, I have several 2YO's which would have bested yours by multiple lengths. This includes skipping along the final furlong and playing to the crowd.

You have a 2yo that runs quicker than 1.35????????

Imagine the times it they weren't skipping at the end.

Seriously, no....not even close.

After installing the latest patch, I was having difficulty loading one of my saved games that I was using to breed league horses. I'd obviously changed something in one of the data sections but for the life of me, I couldn't figure out what!
So I decided to uninstall everything and try to figure it out, piece by piece. I had my data mods backed up along with the changes to the gfx folder, and backed up my saved game folder. Cleared everything of my pc and reinstalled the game.
Unable to work out what it was I'd changed, I figured, sod it, just start again. A couple of seasons into my new game, I exported my first horse to the Ck to test it, only to be greeted by a moment of horror, when it dawned on me the one thing I hadn't backed up was my exported horses. My CK standard setters GONE. My CK pacemakers GONE. My 13 league horses GONE. That included my star 2yo filly who could run 1:35:2 on good ground over a mile at Newmarket.
And because it took me 24 hours to notice, my protection software had run over night and damaged the files that were recoverable to such a degree I can't repair them.

WHAT A PLONKER!!
