In my flat game I saw a horse fall for the first time, luckily it was not mine.
In jumps game top weight in National was only rated 132??
Winner was a low weight 2 miler that had earlier won Champion Hurdle.
Anyone else had any weird experiences.

Today I decided to take the reigns with one of my fancied horses. I managed to get a good break and was just working my way through the field when BAM my horse fell flat on its face. I have to say I will never make a jockey lol.

But yeah horses hit potholes and clipping heels in real races so its not unheard of

In NH game I sold a 4yo for about £55000 2 days before season ended with no race entries. At end of season it appears as dead, poor thing :cry: .
Do some AI trainers kill horses to get better replacements?
Also at end of season I noticed a couple of geldings retired with E behind Retired, not sure what that means.
Next weird thing, I had a horse that sulks if not in front, it had won 3 times CDG so in its next race I told jockey to make the pace but he held it up last in a slow run race. He no longer rides my horses.

It was Nh game so definitely not Spencer and the same jockey had rode the horse in all its previous wins. Think he must have had a brainstorm.
