Racing Woes...

Postby [.Br0k3n.] » Wed Aug 25, 2010 9:02 pm

I'm wondering if someone can take a look at my horse/ bonuses and tell me if there is any real reason my horses can't place in races.

What did you train it in? I've noticed that training seems to have taken effect lately.

I looked through her events, and I understand why she didn't place in some of them. For instance, in some of the cases you were entering her in non-restricted events. Which usually, are a lot harder for young horses to place in. But, on the ones where you entered her in under 5, I'm not totally sure.

I can tell you that in the restricted events, many of the horses had higher stats then your horse and still didn't place. The others were almost the same. So I'd say that some of the other small factors came into place big time! Such as build, personality, height, and quirk.

Haha, yeah I used to enter my horses in non-restricted events. Sometimes they'd place, but it was rare. You have to remember, that even the tiniest difference in stats can make a huge difference. I'd say that it's still because the horse has lower stats then other ones of the same age (or very close). So with that, and the little quirks like height and such it just isn't adding up. Keep eventing and training as you go in restricted events, hopefully you'll get some placements.
