Im new to SO and i get the concept of an online league but dont really understand how it works.

Basically if i think one of my horses is really good i export them from the game and from there i do something to get them online: once they are there where and when do i watch them race in an online league?

the other thing is i kind of feel like my horses will just come last. I mean i have a horse who won 5group ones out of 6 at 1m4f as a 3yo but the fact she got chinned probably means she isnt good enough rite?

I'd have a look in the online league discussion forum!

If you can't find what you need in there then I'm sure someone will be able to help you.

You upload to TOM, then you can enter the horses in races. I believe that the races are emailed to you can you can download them to watch them... But I may well be wrong.

Hurricne run. First you must register as a new trainer at www.sopl.info/sopl/tom8/register.php and everything to do with racing in the league can be found here www.sopl.info/manual
Hope that helps.

Check out www.sopl.info

All the information you need should be there, there is a manual explaining how the league works.
After the races have been run they are available for download and you can put them in your league races folder in SO4 and watch them using the race builder.
As for how good your horses are, none of us really know until they race in the league. Don't be put off joining the league because you think your horses might not be good enough there are lots of handicaps to enter so that horses of all abilities have a chance of winning a race.
Your horse that got beat once out of six G1 races might not have liked that particular course or perhaps the going didn't suit or the jockey used the wrong tactics or maybe it just had an off day, there are so many variables in this game that you can never be sure how your horse will run.
Remember it's all a bit of fun so join up and I'll see you at the races.

yeah maybe although now everytime it runs against a horse called almada it comes 2nd. sometimes wins if i use a pacemaker.

Yeah definitly mate if thats how it works id love to get invloved with the league, and thanks to everyone for the responses and helping out. Im not bothered about becoming the best trainer there is, i just want something else to aim for other than top trainer in the season mode on the game.

Looking forward to the races and the banter guys, i better go and breed and export some nags.

Welcome to the league. Whatever happens with you horses, just enjoy the experience. Ask questions, learn from the experience, and you'll get better and better with time. Despite the other trainers competing against you, you'll find that they're always willing to give a few tips and advice to help you along the way.

good work mate, i love this game. im gutted i only just found out about it at christmas. otherwise i wud of had so 2 and 3 etc. we need to advertise this game more!!
