I cleared out my transfer box, there must have been a couple hundred horses in there and it was doing my head so I cleared it out. It's fun breeding horses to a point but there gets to a stage that it starts doing u head in  100 percent becomes very tedious

jupiterjimmy wrote: I've mainly been a NH league trainer so far but I do want to have a few decent horses for the next flat league. All my horses seem to be a second or two off the best I've seen on here. I've been using pacemakers to try and get my race times down in the ck and it has worked somewhat but still nowhere near the leagues best. Are they any tips on how to shave a few fractions off my times? I was reading about breeding in the Australian side of the game to take half a second off your ck race times, any truth behind this? I've read all the guides on here and I've followed them step by step but my horses are still just falling a bit short. Any help would be grateful. It does boil down to finding the right breeding stock. If they are falling a bit short I suggest keeping those lines but trying to find some new breeding stock from scratch and seeing if those might go faster.

 Re: Guide to Flat Breeding
I've got over the hump, yessss. My breeding program is back on track thanks to one horse ( love the groom), a horses who I forgot about and who was right at the back of the barn. If I hadn't had him my operation would have stopped.

 Re: Guide to Flat Breeding
Thanks, he was the only horse that had good battling Qualities. Every horse in my breeding barn had no battling qualities, I've never breed a sprinter with any so luckily I've now started to breed my horses with it and it was one step back and hopefully two steps forward.

 Re: Guide to Flat Breeding
I've had a right mare. Because my breeding program didn't start until 2 weeks before the last season I had to start with my Usa dirt breed middle distance horses and it's only last weekend that I checked my horses and my 1.4m- 1.6m horses are still mostly dirt breed, I wondered why my horses weren't running to what I thought there potential was. I've only got 4 mares I can breed from over 1.4 miles and about the same over 1.6 miles. The next couple of weeks i'm going to be busy so my middle distance horses will not be able to compete with the good horses and that's the area where I've spent most time trying to catch up  . Man I've wasted so much of my time that I can never get back. The only good thing is that my sprinters and milers are ok.

I have not played my flat game since before the last upload I been busy breeding my jumpers as I know I cant compete with the dedicated flat boys so I cant see me having a 2YO's or 3YO's next season might get 1 or 2 cast offs 4yo's.

I gave up on my jumps game, I had a load of nice horse but when Mark changed the game my horses went backwards and I hadn't enough time to do both. It tough trying to be ok in both. I'm not going to compete with the big boys but i'm trying to get a horse to compete in the US triple crown as lots of my horses are dirt breed.

Don't discard all your dirt Breed's if you got your best jumpers from last season put them in the ck with the dirt breeds and see if they beat them I always trial my flat and jump breeds together over both Flat first them jumps you might find a good dirt breed that's a good jumper.

 Re: Guide to Flat Breeding
The week before the new season starts I might just see if any of my horses that I don't use can jump, I only got three old's stored in my Ck. I don't use the tttf files, I just use my storage in game. Perhaps I'll get a couple. I'd like one so I can try to defend my sun alliance trophy.
Perhaps if my horses cant improve on the flat i'll give the jumps ago.
Any idea when the new season starts.
