Hello, I am a total newbie to Starting Orders and was just hoping for some tips from the experienced among you if that was possible? I love horse racing and management simulations such as Football Manager etc so thought I should really give this a crack. I've really enjoyed it so far, I'm just not very good! If you could give me 5 tips what would they be? Thanks, Adam

this is a real mixture from other threads but have a look i suggest you start a new flat game and buy some horses in thursday auctions try and win some major races with what you buy then at the end of the season transfer them to the game pool then once you have 6 decent flat horses say 3 male 3 female transfer them into a jumps game and start breeding or you can race them then retire them to stud if you start on easy mode you get 5 horses 1 or 2 might be decent look at there stats and if they are good keep them if they are no good sell them 5 you get about 2million for them also to get money early save the game go racing and see if a horse wins well by over 4 lengths and the 2nd horse is say 2 lengths ahead of third write the name of the 2 horses down press ctrl alt delete shurt so5 down go back in load the game and do reverse forcasts this give you some serious money to go shopping with Quote: How important are the initial stat bar not really that important mate main 1 is obviously ability bars and consistency bar always buy at E.O.Y 2yo auction when you are starting out always buy all 2yo over 1.2million i have though found it better going to Thursday auction and look for group winners & 2yo's when your horse reaches 6 or 7 he will start to dip in potential and more importantly in ability but still passes his best potential and ability on to his offspring MaLuckyDay wrote: Appologies if this question has already been answered, but I was just wondering what are the best months to breed your horses to have them race ready as a good 2yo !! Will breeding later in the year result in waiting until its turned 3yo to debut the horse who wasnt conceived until later in the year. Does this approach change any of the stats of the horse ? earlier the better do all mine in january More help for newbies viewtopic.php?f=16&t=5713&hilit=newbie about online lge viewtopic.php?f=16&t=4866&hilit=newbie |

day 1 save your game go racing and watch every race that day and if a horse wins by over 4 lengths at a decent price write it down ctrl alt del and close so5 re open the game and it will bring you back to that days racing go and back those winners you wrote down |
