No, they all go up the same. I think it's either 4 bars or 5.



Glad to hear you’re all sorted Mart. Could sense you definitely didn’t want to do it the boring repetitive way :lol: :lol: :lol:

With regards to cruise though. As a 1yo if you check, I think that shows you what it will end up at, then it goes down as a 2yo, an back up at 3 to what it was showing as a 1yo

I will probably try it on a flat game as my flat horses are useless.

Thanks again to all who commented. i think i know where I am going with a quickfire new start now BUT...

After a lot of fiddling around yesterday and some encouragement and help from Stu I actually managed to port my saved games over to the new machine and got rid of the conflicting licence issue.

This means i will be able to continue with my half decent NH lines and start a new flat only game using all the tips you all provided.

Cheers


Have u bred u best mare Annie Golden



just about to John, that is why I wanted to keep the game going. Got her at 9 too so she might even be back for next season

Taunton - I can confirm what Vinny says, the cruise you see at 1 (foal in barn) is the cruise they have from 3 onwards, it just drops away for the 2 yr old season

That. I do my yearlings cull when I can see what they will be at 3yo.

And since I am starting a new one too, right now I am broke after spending about 90m buying everything from the 2yo sale at the start of the season. I have 80 mares in my barn and a crop of 50 horses from game breeding to sort through. Most will be sold and the mare I will keep, should be able to cover everything in the barn this season. I am on season 4 and have identified so far two game horses who may hit full potential, certainly in the 90’s three speed horses one of whom has 100% and cruise at 69% in a random colt and 75% in a single filly.

Right now it’s a workable platform to keep going.

My next stage will be to get those bars into my breeding and the clock is ticking. This is actually one of the hardest stages and will a terrible pool of mares making them stick can be a challenge and I expect I will need to incrementally improve whilst hoping the identified horses don’t retire.

You can sometimes find something that you simply can’t keep as your too early in your game to hold it.
