cheers keith

just quick update
2nd in fighting fifth beat by a horse rated 177

then he did this
& this is his novice year

Id get him trialing with your others and see how he fairs.


I have a question for the jumps boys. Should I be gelding my boys that I send jumping??? Does it make a difference?

I geld all mine they settle better. Seem to run better as well

Hopefully he trials well PJ but although times don't really matter those are really slow and its on good to firm to boot. Mine need to run at least 10 seconds faster on good or worse for me to hope I have anything half decent to trial.

Thanks Leon. A sad day for any male to lose his tackle. But its the best for everyone.

thanks leon
i am not expecting much just joined the nhc to make up the numbers and have a bit of fun

certanly not expecting to find a lge star after 4 season in game

just trying to add a few more before off

i dont think flame of speed will have any of the jumps trainers loosing sleep

i no with my flat team how long goes into building a team

Well yourself, Doza and I are in and there are a few more new NH trainers who I forget. So it will be good fun and the schedule is great. Try and save a few for the cheltenham handicaps would be my advise!

Matt,

To be able to mix it in the NHC league you need to geld all your male horses, this makes them settle better and become more consistent in the race builder. Obviously you don't have to geld them permanently and a simple CTRL-ALT-DEL command can bring back your game after exporting them (make sure you save before you geld them).

mate i have put no time in to nhc team so would say everyone will be ahead of me
but looking forward to trying bit of craic

Cheers mate. Thanks for that. Just dont cry when mine now pick yours up and carry them!

You will certainly have fun in the NH League mate.

I to Geld all my horses, in the pass i used to geld them and leave them be it only makes a different if the horse is excitable or as a normal Disposition. If they are laid back types it does not effect them i don't think.

Breeding Jumpers is damn hardwork. Am getting sick of it already only done about 10 seasons mixed over 2 saved games.

Will be my last day of trailing and breeding them am done for good.

thats good advice

scalpel please

ouch my eyes are watering at the thought of it

Leon, Jamie and Craig.

Many thanks for the advice re gelding etc.

Yes breeding can be pretty frustrating.

Going to give it a few more seasons then will be done too. Only seem to be improving certain distances and gone backwards in others which is incredibly frustrating as the distances I'm going backwards in are the ones I need to improve.

And can't improve my grand national horses. Nothing stays as well as Famous Duel or Quanah Parker and they both share out the trials no matter what I try. And they both from about 100 seasons ago. Looks like I will be uploading Famous Duel. Had a mare win the national twice but she can't get near those two.

I've had the same problem Leon, all my speed has gone from my lines over the seasons. So hard to get good speed back into them.

Got a few new stayers which i think are better than last seasons crop, only time will tell if they are good enough.

Hope trainers add extra staying horses this season, me and Hooley have added some nice ones to the schedule.

I have the same problems.

Have resorted to going back to my backed up games. Transferring same speed horses who were good in the barn and th Ck to the game pool and adding them to my new games. Am hoping this will produce a few good ones. If not thats the end of my playing.
