What do you think is the most important bar for this type of horse cruising burst or speed

It's not like the flat where u know what the bars do, a lot more random over jumps. That's why its more fun.

I have to have a full jump speed as a start and i find the earlier you race them the less the jump ability goes unto

It's as John says, there is more randomness to jump horses. I think a full potential bar is the most important bar although my best horses usually have a decent extra speed bar.

I have posted 2 pics below. The mare is my best 2m chaser and wins 2 out of 3 races whilst the stallion wins about 1 out of 5 races when running in the CK.

If bars were everything, then the stallion should win everytime. I have about 50 horses with bars like the stallions who can't finish within 5 lengths of the mare.

Jumping ability is not so important. Some of the top trainers have horses with no jumping ability winning G1 races in the online league.

Interesting stuff.
On the face of it you'd believe the stallion should beat the mare.
But do you think this is where the confidence bar comes into play?
