I will post some of what's going on in my game here because I don't feel like starting a new thread. Humbug.
This is what it's all about for me in SO6. Having a beast I know will dominate the AI but still manages to lose. Manual training is a great way to play if you value gameplay. Did I get this horse beat? One thing for sure he needed a rest after his last race.
Heading Home lost his debut most likely due to me entering him in a 5 furlong race when he should've debuted in a 7 furlong race. Oh well I ain't no hall of famer. He goes on to win the Breeders Cup Juvenile. His 3yo campaign was going perfectly. Triple Crown is on the line in the Belmont. He gets his head nicely in front nearing the wire. THEN the runner up in the Kentucky Derby sprouts wings in the final yards and nails Heading Home at the wire. That my friends is racing. What this game is about.
