I am more a Jumps Trainer Josh is Right you Are More Likely To get a win on the National Hunt league than the Flat League the top trainers on the Flat would have at least gone past 100 seasons over many saved games.

I been playing a combined league game on UK Schedule since S07 came out and just finished season 82. 15 seasons you might catch 1 or 2 that might win a race in low handicaps on the flat or Hunter Chasers on the Jumps.

Sirius Chill is also American Trainer who has flat horse's but he did dabble in some jump seasons in the league he might be able to help you. There is a American combined schedule a mod and i am sure.

Some Jump American courses like Far Hills And Percy Warner park are going to be in S08 has i made the Courses.

Damn, well lord knows I need to lose some this year so might as well give it a go in NA. I just enjoy that the most. Need to get my reps in before SO8. The story will write itself, maybe I'll work my way up. Cheers guys, Ill probably ask a question or two before the league starts up so be on the lookout. If anyone has a discord I'd love to join and get to know the community.

Going to slightly disagree on the seasons, either that I’ve played a lot differently to everyone else. Last season my horses were took from a combined game that had only done 24 seasons, and over 50 winners over both codes. I’m now up to 30 combined seasons. So hopefully I can do something similar depending on how many new players there are.

Is the schedule going to be the same? I can't find the download csv, but if its the same i have last years.

Also just a general question, cut off is 5pm UK time right? The main page I still think uses the users local time, ie 10 or 11 hours early for Australia.

Thanks

I agree here, I think most games plateau out after a certain amount of seasons. Sometimes getting to about 30+ seasons in a new game can give you better horses than a 60+ season thats got a proven league record

It’s less about age of the game and more about finding and holding the best from your starting game pool. My main and only NH game is at around 140 seasons old and it’s almost impossible to stop the decline now, and since it started when stats were hidden my base stats are terrible, but what it does have is 140 seasons of selective trial based breeding. I have started again multiple times, breed far better looking horses but never produced anything to challenge my original game.

Flat I abandoned my original AUS save after 90 seasons and deleted it. My time on flat is split between my US game that breeds my 2yo’s and all my sprinters and most of my milers it’s just under 60 seasons I think and my new UK flat game that’s at about 40 seasons. I bred Heart of Oak after around 20 seasons from a line I deleted before I even knew what I had.

If it’s not in your starting pool you’re not fixing it. Starting over can be a huge difference maker.

Guessing I got lucky then as this is the only save I’ve ever had.
