Hello everyone, I will never claim to know much of anything about horse racing, but I like games like this, but I was hoping I could just pick this up and enjoy the game.

I am just wondering, how do you get a good horse? I mean I'll buy horses for 400 k or even a million, but I don't seem to ever get a handle on what I should do to keep a horse good. I will put in 2 or 3 year olds in C1 races and they will finish 2nd, the jockey will say good things, the next race I'll put him in a C2 race and he'll finish near the bottom and the jockey will tell me he was out classed. How can he be out classed in a loser class than what I had him in before.

Now I've had a few good group 2 wins and the jockey will say he's a machine, then then horse will do nothing the rest of the way.

I race as often as I can in a season, is this wrong? I don't need to have the whole game explained to me, but what exactly should I be looking at when I want to put my horses in their best chance to win?

Thank you.

Breeding is everything
You Need to start that ASAP

after about 4 or 5 years your horses start to dominate the game

at the start breed to game Mares/Stallions that have won several g1s
this will give you a start but after a while the gamebreds are not going to improve your breeding lines
dont be scared to inbreed i found some freaks doing this

Basically gamebreds are never going to consistently win g1s so get breeding
and produce your own monsters

have fun

Reading here and knowing the little I do know about horse games and even some in real life, I figured breeding would be the thing. Now as far as that, I won't produce "monsters" by just breeding any two horses right? Do they have to be good horses as far as their career or is it just about the blood line?

or the best available to you and as i said b4 breed with the gamebreds in breeding barn at start

Thank you.
