 Re: 13 Length Arc Win OnTheNose wrote: Gentlemen, I just like posting my horses and seeing what comes back! Explosion, you greedy git!
I love seeing good horses regardless of if they are transfered into a game or not. Lets play SO4 and play it til the granny says no!! My horses in SO4 are nowhere near as good as mine in 3, and I heared the granny say "NO!!" last night in bed or was that my girlfriend..never can tell!!

Re: 13 Length Arc Win Moliets_Surfer wrote: Nice win, but am I wrong or isn't the winning time of 2:31 just standard!? Maybe a very weak opposition? Yeah, the opposition wasn't much but the Hong Kong Vase win was over 5 other 130 horses and a 2,28 time.

I reckon he'd have stopped riding half a furlong out, which would have knocked a second or two off the time had he continued to ride out a finish.

Re: 13 Length Arc Win how did you know he would be good enough, for those sorts of races after just 1 C3 race? were you just confident in the breeding that he would be that good or do you look at other things like comparing the timings of that race compared to the C1's over the same distance? or just based on how it ran the race? never seem to get mine to step up to C1, sometimes even C2, but maybe my horses are just not upto it.

Re: 13 Length Arc Win exxplozion wrote: My god never done that before that is one beast you have there OTN. Here's the thing, I hardly raced him as a 3yo because of Excess who was my star. He then took up the G1 races once Excess went to stud. I had another 12f stallion who had not done much so I sold him on. Well guess who done Zileross at the Breeders and Hong Kong? The bloody one I sold!

A mixture of all those things really. A lot of it is the rating the horse recieves after its maiden. Late 90's - early 100's and you should have a potential star. Looking at what the sire has won is helpful too.

Nice It says in brackets the distance (18 lengths). Immense performance even though the opposition was only modest, I've never done that ever before.
