The original game does not interest me anymore. When you know you will win every race, the game loses it's fun.

So I actually made my own game within the game. Which is a lot more enjoyable than the actual game. Since I know my horses will always win, I just run my horses against each other on the CK after every season. Keep the top horses for each distance and delete the rest, kind of like King of the Hill. I have an HDB file for every distance.

If I didn't find a way to make it interesting then I would never play this game since I have so many games. And there are many more games on Steam with their discounts.

I actually prefer strategy and rpg games where u have figure out the optimal way to achieve a certain goal with the least amount of work. Or Min/Maxing stats.

I apply that to every game just like SO6. After some testing, I was able to figure out how breeding works. To beat any game you have to figure out how it works. I would usually move on after beating a game but we have the league.

I'd like to see every trainer improve even if it means I lose races. I'd rather win a few races against top trainers than win every race with lower trainers. That would be like my horses winning every race against the AI. Not very fun.

I wish there was a way to equalize the trainers.

Whilst I admire the sentiment, your method is directly at odds with your stated end state goal. On the one hand you have gone to extraordinary lengths to beat the game, and not for the sake of the game either as it does not compel you too, you like everyone else already win everything, and on the other you want everyone to be even for a little more competition, likely safe in the knowledge few to none have the time, ability or inclination to do the same.

And whilst I have a grudging respect for your approach, the time, effort and application alone leave me considering you have deserved your success, when I read stuff like playing older versions for a tiny percentage edge, it would just ring a little more truthful if you simply said you want to win.

The explanation is very long and I think I offered an explanation to you before but you did not want that if I remember. But if you want the detail then let me know and leave an email so I can contact you.

I'm not gonna post it here. Not everyone is interested.

If I wanted to win more races, I could have just kept my secrets to myself and continue to improve my breeding lines into next season. Reading that Steve Rann lost his flat horses and Ghostzapper might not enter the flat next season means less competition and more wins.

It's actually kinda depressing to hear for me anyways. Combined those 2 accounted for 70ish wins on the flat so far.

I might just focus on the jumps side next season. Upload maybe 5 flats horses and that would be my stable.

If it was possible, for next season, I'd prefer it if was mandatory to have 10 gamebred and 10 trainer bred for the flat side and something similar for the jumps to make it more competitive.

I doubt that everyone will agree though.

Are you only looking for gamebreds in auctions?
I grew so tired of going to every auction that I quit and went back to starting new games. I did have to start a load of new games, but eventually found gamebreds with the needed stats. Have never found one in an auction. Except for one 90% potential 2yo in the start of season auction.

That's either Rude or Arrogant in my eyes. Paul will be a match for any trainer next season, if Kelly comes back ( I wonder what's happened ) next season then his horses are as good as anyone's and I'm sure the rest will be getting better so don't count u chicken's.

End of the day - there is more than one way to breed G1 winners. How one gets there is one's own choice.

If you have plenty of time on your hands then it gives you the chance to really knuckle down on breeding. If you live a busy lifestyle then you play and breed when you can.

Which brings us back to another thread elsewhere - make sure there are plenty of low/er handicap races to keep the new players and the casual players engaged in the league.
