Post Kickback, turns, wind operation etc.
Hello, i 'm new to the game, so i don't know if these questions are a bit silly... also i have tried to find any related posts, but didn't manage to. a) is there any way to fix the horses problems with kickback or with handling left or right handed turns? b) the wind operation 's symptom is when a horse doesn't breath well, or i am completely out? c) when a horse is sweating badly, according to the jockey, am i supposed to do anything after the race?

1) If horses dont like kickback you can either try to front run or avoid the all weather (Dirt) tracks altogether
2) As for left/right handed turns, look for courses that don't turn them ways
3) Wind op is for exactly that
4) If u have handler help at the start (finance screen) there is nothing you can do, I don't think

Enjoy the game pal, its awesome

Just a little experience input on the kickback topic: I have had a horse that the head lad said the horse cannot handle kick back, but in the prior line said the horse would be more suited to dirt.

The horse was 9/9 all Group 2 and 1 wins on dirt. 4 of those wins as a Front runner 5 as a stalker. Then all of a sudden the next 3 races finished out of the money and well beaten and the form saying kickback was a problem. I put the horse on turf for 2 races and she hated it got trounced. So it's one of those wierd problems to figure.
