I usually watch the first 3 or 4 races a horse runs in each season just to see how it runs, then for the rest 0f the season I just skip by the races without watching.

I have noticed a pattern as to whether or not I watch a race. Almost always when I watch a race my horse does well in the race, usually winning the race, but if I skip through the races without watching my horse very rarely wins.

There are a couple of examples below and these results are very repeatable, they are not just good race performance v's bad race performance.

Both wins below I watched the race and my horses won comfortably, both losses I skipped the race and my horses didn't win.

noticed this too if you watch the race horse does far better
if you dont your horse can bomb = watch every race

There is no code in the game that improves the players horses if they watch the race.

The opposite for me, whenever I think I'm going to win a big race and I go and watch the race, very often it doesn't go to plan. I seem to have more luck skipping the races

I've mentioned this before in the forum.

Times with watching the races to skipping them are way off.

You get a much faster time watching than skipping them. Which doesn't seem right.

If you take on board CK form, watching the races is a more true reflection on league times.
