Are any of you good people having problems finding Sprinters in your games, or decent ones to say the least?

No problem finding sprinters. Struggling to find decent 1m2f and 1m4f horses though.

emm...it seems like it all counts on the game that a player starts at the beginning colm, that's interesting, I have plenty of 1m2f/1m4f in season 14 and yet not one sprinter, just hope I can get at least one before the start of the league.

I think its a bit of luck, l cant find nothing decnet over 5f but im sure l have decent 1m 2f and 1m4f horses. Example my breeding barn at this point:-10 x 1m4f horses 9 x 1m2f horses 11 x 1mile horses 4 x 5f horses (3 of which are males and do not breed anything decent. Even started new game and could not find any decent sprinters. Only 1 l ever found was game horse 5yo and lost my game bout 1 season after so no breeding just got the export. Im thinking of just breeding every game horse that has won 1 listed or above 5f race.

Funny how it's all game dependent. I have no problem finding sprint fillies, but I am having slight trouble finding good un-gelded sprint males to breed with them. Most of the un-gelded sprint colts in my game are only just above average.

My biggest problem is finding male 3yo 8f and 12f, either my females are brilliant (which they're not) or males are donkeys in disguise.

My best time for my 3yo filly 55.98, same filly as a 2yo 57.30

Jay could use this filly as a pacemaker for his monster sprinters

I had horses that ran good times in my CK last season but when it came to the league races they couldn't go the early pace and were dead at the end of the race it will be the same this season. :oops:

If the horse transfer screen worked would happily pass on some of my 1m2f and 1m4f horses to breed. Its hard to get runs into mine as every year i have at least 5 horse that want same distance, luckily Kennys schedule has a good vary of 1m4f races so luckily they all do get there turn

Just to say My 5yo does that time with 9st 9lb on his back and if pushed think l could shave few tenths off. Maybe 56.2 at best but shows he can carry weight so might have a big hcap in him

I get plenty of top class 3yo males in the game it's when they run in the CK they can't get near my 3yo fillies, every season I think I have my Derby horse for the league and it finishes about 10L behind my fillies :cry:
