No races to suit in un-modded Australia schedule
I'm a new player and while I've dabbled in both games (6 and 7) recently, I haven't tried out modding or anything yet.
My problem is, I'm playing the Australian flat schedule and I've got a couple of super horses who love running 1m1f+. I've ridden them in gallops to pinpoint their running style and distance, so I know they can't afford to go any shorter because they don't build enough of the yellow bar to get them home.
But there's no races for them
All the races are either G-level, that they're definitely not strong enough for, or they're claiming races and I can't risk losing them just when I finally get them winning.
So it's kind of question on how mods work - do I have to set up the modded schedule before I start the game file or can I mod on the fly? Does that mean the other save game I have sitting there is going to be lost too? Can I export these horses that I really like from this game and import them into a new game if I have to restart?
Also, since this is related to no races available, I had a 2 yo in my starting lot that had already won a maiden race but wasn't given a handicap rating by the form-building, so literally no races showed up for her for like two months. Is that because the schedule didn't have Novice races available or is that a glitch because she didn't have a handicap rating?
Thanks for reading and any answers
