Hi is it just me or are 2yo Listed races extremely hard to win, for example i ran a horse in one finished 12/12 beat miles but ran it in the cleverly park later in the season and ran 4th. They just seem really hard.

Also find the french and Irish 2yo races easier to win

No it's not just you!

You have to realise AI trainers have a massive advantage in the game they can run horses over more distances and much more often without the same penalties a player has and no matter how good your horse they will always try to give you a good race. Overseas horses tend to be well bred horses in order to create good group races so if you find you can beat them you have a nice horse regardless of what you attain at home.
