Me too, Ive been in league 2 and a bit seasons and still happy with winning a banded lol...I just get whatever 4yo+ that's not good enough for the flat in jumps trials....I had that last season too, had a horse who was multiple group winner on the flat...couldn't do nothing in the league so transferred it to nhc and ran really well....

Kinda given up now and have an outline of the team, I know people say game performances dosen't matter but I just wait for the real superstars and know they will be in my league team i.e. Music Bo 30G1's in game and probably my best horse in ck from 1m1f-1m3f...Electrolyser who won every staying group race inc melbourne cup at least twice is my top stayer in trials and also my best horse over the jumps....So I've just given up on exporting most horses and just export my "superstars"....

Wonder if anything has a same kind of way of thinking!!

I know where u r coming from mate!ive never had a horse who was poor in game be good in my ck!!yeh ive had great game horses be avg in it but never the other way round!!look forward to racing bud!

Wow these forums have died!!! Only 1 week before the league will start as well, surely must be some gossip about some hidden super beasts lurking around in peoples ck's!!

hahah i know what you mean nick!!

although maybe no1 has any beasts so the likes of me and you will have a chance!!!plus with a few of the top trainers out now then maybe it will be wide open this season. im still trialling so dont really know exactly who will make the league but i dont think i have any beasts.

so far the horses i am excited about and hope do well are:

Master Blaster - Mile
Zee Zee Jamare - 1m4f
Sea the Stars - 1m6f
Fairytales - 1m2f

Dont really know who my sprinters will be, theyre not very good

Jumps:

Mandango Fandango - 2mile H
Amaro Lucia - 2mile C
Visindar & Nijinsky - 3mile - 3m2f C

Dont know any others, need to trial!!!!!

Yeh I hope so need to improve on that 2 wins from 200 odd runs last year lol....seem to have the hang of how to trial properly now so hoping can notch a few wins!! Still trialling but always seem to unearth something new now and again....will probably do final trials over the weekend!!

So far I have that I believe can win a race

Choisir - 6f
Ming Turpin & Naajeye- 1M
Raykayyeb & Music Bo 1m2f
Electrolyser & Johnny Corleone - 2m+

have a feeling that the 2 last mentioned will do well and have always done well with my stayers ( 2 top 5's in Ascot Gold Cup's) and believe these could go that step further

Jumpers bit far behind the rest but have just unearthed Sarafina -2m hurdles who looks a bit special...never beaten in game including double english and irish champ hurdle but retired to stud as wanted some progeny off this girl!!! may have a few good 3mile hurdlers and chasers....

Looking much better than in the past and really hopeful although any win will be nice!! Although looking at some of the times people have been posting I'm fearing the worst but I normally at least have 1 or 2 group performers. Will look out for them though!!

yeah my trials can be quite inconsistent, one day i run a few and one horse wins, the next day another wins, so ill see how they do. ill probably pretty much fill my stables from the start because i may not have any time to play the game to get better horses.

just found a pretty good 2m6f hurdler in my trials, hopefully she will do well.

Nick your a disgrace! Sarafina running over hurdles!!

Run, you may aswell run Sea The Stars in the Gold Cup

I havent got any jumpers so will just have flat runners, got a few good sprinters so it will be hard to pick from them. I think im at the point in my game were they are really getting better now. Last night in the game i broke the track records in the Coronation, Oaks and Derby and i got a miler who done the Lockinge in just over 1.32 beating my previous record of 1.33

The Coronation time was 2.25 and the Derby and Oaks were 2.27 with the filly just slightly faster. So I seem to have improved my 1m4 line which was the one I was most worried about, im happy with my sprinters and milers but I think i can improve in the nest week so havent decided my team yet.

Haha it was a filly with a breeding distance of the flat over 1m4f and don't get me wrong it won the oaks/irish oaks and coincidently was third in the arc lol but have better 12 furlong horses in ck and seemed to be awesome over hurdles lol!!! They are serious times!! none of my horses are getting anywhere near these times will keep check of times and post later to see if they are any good lol!!....Mind you most of my ck horses are from a previous game which crashed so times in new season won't be as good.

The record for a miler in my game over any course is 1.34 and the horse wasn't even mine...going to run some major races in my ck see if I can show any decent times!...1m at ascot hard seems to be throwing up 1.40 dead on constantly...dosen't look good lol!!

Epsom 1m4f Hard seems to be throwing up 2.30 dead on as well....5 seconds off the pace again ..looks like I'm going to be relying on my stayers

NA dont worry mate, the pace of the races in the league is usually quicker so times will be affected that way. dont worry about times, yes in game it is nice to break records but dont worry about them for league. just upload the best most consistent horses you have in the ck, and maybe just throw some in to the nhc n hope for the best!!!

All i can say is try and export and trial every horse in your game because you may be suprised like i was with Champion Hurdle Trophy wiiner Sandra Bullock she was poor in game 1/12 but class in ck

Glad to see the league starting again soon got afew ready for the new season but not much better then last season unfortunately but i will keep trying till next week sandra is still in the same class at 6yo so hopeing she can win another big race

Sandra Bullock?

That is a fantastic name for a horse

I have what appears to be a decent 12f horse named in tribute to the forthcoming Call of Duty title. Black Ops.

I also have 3 fillies, all born at the same time, who obliterate my existing 6f stock. Soraaya is best on dirt, Tipoki on good ground and Position Limit on good to firm.

Then there's Italian Sunset, a front running 10f specialist unbeaten in game who seems to keep finding stamina from somewhere but I fear that in the league there will be a few cheeky closing types flying from the clouds. She'll be heading for the Dubai World Cup I think

Sounds like u have a decent stable thos year rich, look forward to racing them

So does tom open tonight for uploads and noms?

Rich always has a strong stable and I can see him and kenny being tough to beat!! Been playing non stop last day and a half and starting to bring through consistent performers so hoping to have a strong contingent....when will TOM be ready for upload & say my primary is uk (15 runners) will I be able to have runners in both US & NHC or just one of US/NHC and how many horses can we have in secondary stables??

Blood out of a stone comes to mind here.
A week before the season starts and we still have questions unanswered - pretty important questions at that!
I agree fifteen seems a bit small for starters.
