Great horse hackett.
I am surprised though that he nearly won the St Leger with his best distance being 1M 2F.

Ive totally given up on trusting the best distance for my horses, finding a lot of horses needing very strange distances to what it says it needs, Do you get the odd one to Exxplozion? or is it my breeding that is causing this do you think?

Hurricane its one of the most important thing on my list with SO4...... crack the triple crown, one of the others get a league win :lol: . I could have maybe done it with a female but forget to enter in the St Ledger does that still count as winning the triple crown if she had won the St Ledger? 1000 Guineas, The Oaks, St Ledger. Im not sure if it only counts for Males. :oops:

oops yeah the horse i was talking bout was a female, and i meant oaks not derby. i assume it is still the triple crown

its my main aim in the game now along with winning the grand national. i think could get the usa version of the triple crown relatively easily to be honest. my horse and your three of a kind for example are two horses that would have completed it. obviously i wanna win a league race as well

How do you find your horses are now mate compared to when you uploaded the ones for the league? Mine have improved alot should have delayed uploads till the next window would have been more prepared.

Best way to look upon the distance quoted is, this is the average breeding distance of the parents.

So, if you breed a 1m with a 1m4f, it will usually say your horse is a 1m2f. But, it could easily get the speed of the miler and the full stamina of the 1m4f horse.

Use the breeding distance as just a guide, but use the race performance and jockey feedback for confirmation of the horses actual ability.

I would agree with the guys saying, the stat bars would suggest that it's a 1m4f runner.

I did think it would get the 1m 4f with its stats and once its done that and you get the chance for the triple crown i would always go for it. Exxplozion i used to play the same way as you but realised that for the league i would have to get a lot more seasons done, league is going to be a bigger challenge then the game can offer me, even on hardest mode you start winning everything. If there wasnt any online league id plod through seasons like you, doing gallops for all horses Etc but like i said league just more exciting in my opinion. The next time i play Colm im gonna check the parents to see what distances they were!
