 Potential Bars Quote: Quote:
My older horses are still better than my 3 year olds since the change. Might be to do with my NH game
I only race them at 3 because there bar gets full. The only older horse I might have is a stayer that runs faster at 3 over 2 miles but runs a little quicker over two and a half at four.
My 3 year olds were really bad last season. None came close to full potential most around 70%. Since the changes I now have some that get to 80/90% at 3 but my horses all peak at 5/6 with 100% bars at those ages. Again its probably because of breeding for NH
Most if not all have 100% at 3 , the only ones that i cant get full is the long distance horses. The two year old Im trailing now Its more than likely because I made an effort to find late maturing horses when I started my games so that my NH horses would peak at the right time. MY lines as a result are all late maturing types and although Marks changes have improved my younger horses my older horses are still better

Re: Potential Bars When mark changed So5 I hated it, my middle distance horses ran about 1 and half seconds slower( god knows how that worked because they had a better bar) and it took me ages to get them to run as fast.
Leon when people start loading there horses into there stables I think it will need to be watched in case there's not enough older flat horse's to fill the races. We don't need another war to break out like this last few days.

Re: Potential Bars There will be time to change your stable and with changes planned it will be easier to see what everyone else has uploaded. Keith Beaky won the league because he had older horses. I think people will have taken note of this. You probably have more chance of winning a group 1 with an older horses precisely because there are fewer of them.
I don't think there will be an issue in NH

Thats only because i only played a few SO4 seasons I haven't been able to play much so I am sure others will have better by now. Don't think I will have many, if any flat runners though. Maybe just some older horses
