who doesnt beat here comes thunder in training?

Everyone's horse beat here comes thunder at some point in training, everyone thinks they have the best horse, everyone goes in there to win, but in a restricted tournament, the bsr difference between the horses is a small gap, so any horse can win or any horse can lose.. as for that 74,91,92, i even had a 116 bsr with 75,92,92.. these speed figures are not everything.. you need a perfectly calibrated horse to win a 6 F final. you had the worst stamina and a bad gate to start with.

No offence

Fitz, but you have been here less than 6 weeks. I haven't been here much longer but it took me a while to get a result with credits. What I have found is that Training Instructions can have an affect on your horses attitude out of the gate. Some performances have left me scratching my head, but I keep on trying. Recording my horses races, stats and training instructions has me doing less head scratching.

It's all a learning curve and I have made many mistakes still do. Just can't stop buying horses though!!

Check the Performance

Check the Performance Report, the horse just may no like getting jockey instructions. When You ask me I told you to do the same as the last race. If you didnt tell him to go for the lead, that could have been the problem.

hmmmm

didnt change the plan same instructions as the race before that when she beat 3 of the horses easy with energy to spare, to amir , she has a bsr of 116.5 and the race was a limit of 117 , so cant get better than that and shes at her peak age now if that means anything in the game, as to realbadwolf , the performance report is useless as it says her best distances are 1m- 1 1/4 miles and she barely lasts 7f , so im not paying much attention to that

Don't give up

I now that it's not nice losing but one lose shouldn't make you quit, just keep on trying. No one is good at something that they just started with you need to have patience. If you fail then you try again until you win

Bad Horsey

Bad races hurt and we have all been there. I had my horse Raisin Cake in a Blue 125 final the other night come in dead last in the final. This is a great horse with blue final wins, yet he runs a 99SR in the final. Do I quit over this? no way. I just get back up and go to the next race. What I have found is when your horse has a bad race, a good horse will rebound in his next race. If you quit then you will never know how the next race could have gone.

racing horses

Racing horses can be like a bingo game.There are many factors that can change how your horse runs.We are not dealing with real jockeys and horses.It is a computer controlled game and anything can and will happen.Training and giving instructions can give the illusion that you have an influence in how your horse runs.I do not bother training my horses against pool horses.If I have two or more horses of the same class then I race them and pick the best to enter.I find that the real ability of your horse will be revealed in actual races against other trainers horses.Jockey decisions,barrier draws ,other horses abilities etc have a big say in how your horse performs in a particular race.This is a virtual racing game and it has been made to look as real as possible.Still the best racing game by far online.

just a thought

lately i retired some of my best older horses only because i think i have mismanaged them. If you really want your horse to be consistent, every race and tourney counts. It needs to tell a good positive story, that way the hrf computer cant make excuses...smiles

i noticed your horse skip 2yo jumped into some insta tourney then green - it may be a good horse but no solid history!!
