It has cost trainers in the league in past seasons. It will happen again. Definitely needs to be addressed in SO7.

I have horses in my game that have very good potential and speed bars but can't win a Group race. I have others who's bars are not as good who will win 10+ G1s. I didn't trial at all for this season - I can't see the point - although I understand for the trainers that smash out a truck load of horses that they need to do it. Anyway I am expecting Jim and John's low rated horses to come good in Group Company.

My horse in the same race ran a shocker and is rated 70, i'll run him in a better race non h'cap because I don't feel comfortable running in a h'cap. There is no way he's a 70 rated horse. On behalf of all the handicap trainers - thanks for not running him/her in a handicap next start.

Re: Trainers notes
Know it has happened before doug, I have profited and suffered from it. Just adding fuel to the fire that we need to burn the racekit on. And I have always believed bars are only half the battle ever since my second league season and getting winners whilst looking at the images posted from Paul and the like knowing how far away my horses were on that basis, you and I spoke a little on it during that interview a few seasons back. I have significantly advanced my thinking on this in prep for this league having pushed for bars and trailed throughout that journey, after adding big chunks from my original stock. Don’t get me wrong, get both together and your laughing and there is only so far the things we cannot see will take a bad horse, but they are not the be all and end all. I have even started to look at combinations, so for example full extra is nice but does that mean a horse just burns out faster and fades if constitution of low, something that is a main stat and ignored as much as battling qualities. Can bars actually make a horse worse without the other components? Run style etc, and I think there are clues in game horses too. Not quite gotten my head around this and it is only a theory but there are defiantly combinations I look for in the NH now and these seem to be born out in trial.

Re: Trainers notes
sometimes you have to move back to make a big move forward have gone back 2 seasons to Mack The Knife and now have good jumps speed in my lines also higher potential bar in jump bred horses no trials yet but hoping this mix of very new and very old throws up something special.

Re: Trainers notes
Have u bred him to a flat horse!!! None of my chasers have anywhere near full cruise+ speed bar. My best hurdler that is 2yo Brideled Turn has awful looking bars, the worst of any jumper I've ever had in the league but has finished 1st and 2nd.

Re: Trainers notes
I added flat breeding to my 2m hurdlers a while back and my horses never recovered.

Re: Trainers notes
Every time I have gotten full speed and that sort of cruise into jumpers, via flat, they have sucked. Actually that’s not entirely true they are great over about 1m to 1.4m. But finished at 2m. Course crack that particular puzzle and you maybe onto something.

Re: Trainers notes
This is my best hurdler this season. I just found her and shes from 13-03-2016 . Her bars are awful and yet she can compete this season. The jumps is still a mystery!!!!

Re: Trainers notes
I have managed to get decent cruising burst and extra speed in my jumpers this season. It took about 7 generations of breeding horses with the extra bars to get them to just beat my horses with lesser bars. Because of the inconsistancy of the CK, I am not sure if overall, this has helped all my horses as quite a few horses with similiar bars have been poor in the league this season. This is my best hurdler with a record of 2,1,1 this season. This is the 8yo horse I uploaded as a Grand National horse and has won twice so far this season. Both her Sire and Damme are in my league team this season as 3 milers.
