1 basicly breed horses export so you can trial them to find out who your best is(trial them in the CK or race builder)
2 when the online lge opens in a few weeks you will be able to upload a team of 20 horses
3 upload a well balanced team cover 5f 6f 7f 8f 10f for 2yo and 5f 6f 8f 10f 12f 14f 16f 20f a mix of 3yo and go for 5yo
when picking your older team that is when a horse is at its peak

once the lge starts replays of the races will be put on here for you to download and watch

maybe get regiostered save you doing it later HERE> http://www.sopl.info/sopl/tom10/main.php

thank you

do you export your 2 year olds before or after they have had a race

Always give your 2yo's a few runs to get them straight and get the greeness out of them. It also helps you work out which tactic the horse prefers and this can make a big difference.

Ask as many questions as you need to, jelly.

Alright Keith, I have my string of 20 horses ready, but how do I get the horses into the league? Also, I don't have any silks as of yet, so how do I go about sorting that out?

I run them for a minimum of 4 races. Typically each will get 4-5 before export. I've noticed that horses will continue to mature i.e. their potential rating goes up for a maximum of 3-4 races. After that their potential doesn't go up again till they are 4 years of age.

You can't upload any horses yet, the start date hasn't been announced yet. Make sure your stable is balanced.

Okay Keith, cheers for the response. Look forward to taking on the big boys when the league starts

Have a look at the trials thread and send some horses over for them.

thanks for your help and patience with a noob

Have you read this?

big help thanks
how often does the league take place as i have deleted my saved games and started completley afresh without auto training enabled so not sure i will have bred any 2 year olds for the start of next league

Im not sure, 3 times a year? It takes almost three months for one season.


Id say you might have a few weeks to get a team together. Also Id keep simple training on, it saves a LOT of time especially when breeding horses for the league. Even if you enter 10 horses it will be an experience for you.

ok great thanks again for your advice
