All my horses came in last in US races this week :x
Could it be because they are UK horses running in US races??
I only play the UK game, but wanted to have some US horses running in US league, would that make a difference to how they perform?

It's not called Charmed World by any chance, is it?!

btw, try over 1m. Stamina looks more of a miler than a 7f horse

Nope, all mine are from the UK game.

They should have a better chance in the handicaps.

Those stats bars are amazing....never seen anything like that

I just checked the results for my 2 runners. One ran badly because there wasn't a race for him and I need a handicap mark and the other ran well below expectation :cry:

As a newbie, thought I would just work on sprinters for this year, yes I have others in the league, but sprinters is my aim a bit Channon like :-)

I now know that stats bars are not the be all and end all, I have trialled him over everything from 6-1.1 all sorts of instructions, courses and grounds, and it just dwells and starts his run too late in them all... Most Frustrating

One for the barn, because of the stats, but does not trial well, so prob wont produce anything... and being aware that the progression to 4 really doesnt improve things... Grrrrr.... :twisted:

Mind you never spent much time on him as 2yo ... watch out :wink:

Still shite :-(

And yes he was Charmed World, but wont be seeing him at a racetrack near anyone.

More drawing board stuff required ...

I have a lot of horses with 100% acceleration, they are awful. I don't think the stat bars are hugely reliable...

Hi all,

Just want to congratulate all the winners namely D Robertson, K Robertson, Rich, A crips, and Ryan. Also S Richards won a race too!!! Well done.

Probably the most exciting victory for me was Gaze Of The Eagle in race 11 who beat boom colt Dragon Moon who was unlucky.

Some of mine were just not good enough so kudos to the victors. However next start I am planning your downfall!! :D

I think the track record was broken in the 2nd race over 2400m by Ninth End (D Robertson) 2.31.74 beating the old time of 2.32.67.

Boy do we have some good 12f horses!!

I will be doing 2 or 3 US race reviews so if you have a preference let me know here and if it gets enough votes I'll do it. I won't do race 18 since there are 17 runners in that race, too many for me.

Cheers

Yep well done to the winners. I picked up a few smaller prizes.

Agree with Scatters about the 12f horses, it's a distance I really focus on and mine have taken a battering so far.

yeah , week 2 in usra: how hard is it to pass a scatters horse, jesus!!?? queen victoria and pidgy toss needed every yard to get up, very happy with those 2. my other winner in the juvenile fillies was a surprise as she is a 7f horse but she ran a lovely race.

a few others ran well and got places, especially glor na mara in the donn which was the biggest prize of the week. same scatters horse beat me again. i dont know which one to enter in the uae derby in week 3, could enter this one or new approach from english stable or rock of gibraltar who in both starts has looked like he needs 9f. any suggestions - whichver horse scatters tells me to upload i will upload to beat you buddy!!pidgy toss isnt an option as she is going for the g2 in the usa

Well done Winners!

One winner this week in the USRA with SUCESSION what a race that was!

Cruising and came under pressure with two horses briefly passing her but battled back to get up with a very unlucky RUMBLE IN THE JUNGLE 2nd, keep an eye on the 2nd next time out.

Manetheren:
A very unlucky 2nd in Race 2, should be in the winners enclosure hopefully soon.

Rhyagelle and dragonmount put in good efforts with a 2nd and 3rd. Dragonmount probably needing the 1m 2f trip rather then 1m 1f.

Starlight drawn 16/16 ran home 12 after being made to run 5/6 wide going round the bends. dismiss this run.

Lanfear : 7th first time out 4th this time needs to up her game.

Sei Mosiear : 9th one paced, may need 1m 4f!

Whippasnapper : 9th probably the first to be retired, needs to impress next week. last chance.

Gale of the eagle very impressive taking lengths out of the field when kicking for home, the Scatters handy horses train keeps rolling in!
