What schedule do you use Duke !

Nice looking horse there, cant believe you got a rating of above 120 for a maiden, highest i have ever had is 112

I use my own schedule constructed for training horses for the online league, but it doesn't include the Breeders Cup meeting.

Works for me, notice he's a Triple Crown winner. First time I've done it in SO4, did it in SO3 with Elusive Quality.

i have two horses called Flight Of The Gods and Atalanta Airport both rated 130 after their maiden!!!

i was going to post it on the weird experiences post by Bill just below this thread as for the past 50 plus seasons it has never happened, ive had 120 as highest i think.

all i did was run them in a french maiden and they won at a canter - winning the french and irish maidens definitly gives them highest rating!!!

If you run them in the foreign maidens (french and irish) they are a lot easier to win. Ive had horses win maidens over there and then never win again. Thats why i dont play the flat scedule because its messed up that you can send an average horse to win a race and get it rated so high. This certainly needs fixing for so5. Im not doubting Dukes horse because it is clearly a top class animal but for a horse to be rated 124 after a maiden its a bit unrealistic.

The rating is indeed unrealistic, but winning races over 8F, 10F, 12F, 14F you can't take that away from the beast.

Would love to give your schedule a go, could you email it to me at mik1980@msn.com

I think its pretty realistic, especially that this one has gone on to be undefeated and win top class group 1's
