You know they want you to breed more horses. Well its a more than a bit frustrating when the last 12 or so horses have been mostly under 100's with a few 103's or so throw in. Watching your points drain away and getting such low quality horses is no fun. I dont expect every horse to be a champ. But this is unfair. Im a small stable-mainly because I have to retire such low performing horses rather quickly. This has been over the last month before the update and after. I cant afford to breed 20 horses a nite. Im starting to think its more than random.
I really dont want to believe a game I love is biased but...

Breeding

I have bred millions of points in the last few months and had not one decent horse.I retired 27 horses one day.95% of the horses i breed seem to be between 94 Bsr and 107 Bsr.Tried 3 horses today and got two in the low 90 Bsr and a 101 Bsr.Yesterday tried one horse and that was a 90 Bsr aswell.All were retired straight away.Def tired of wasting my points now aswell.

Its A 100

Bred one more just to see....and its a 100. I'd be more than glad to buy more points if I had horses worth spending the money on. I'll just keep dreaming. LOL

breeding

Over the last couple of months I have bred horses 102bsr and less.Kept 1 out of 30.21 burns has burnt enough money.No more breeding until next month.Hopefully I will breed a horse above 102 bsr.Are there any races for horses with bsr 75-70?Had a few of those recently.

Breeding A Good Horse Is Hard

My Song, you are not a bad person in fact I am pretty sure your are a good person. Don't be afraid to speak your mind around here. But just blasting and criticizing the boss and team when they are trying their best to correct system problems will not be beneficial for you or your stable, trust me on that.

Starfish doesn't just slam people for no reason but does try sometimes to guide newer trainers away from troubled waters. Starfish has learned and survived around here by taking his lumps and learning from the experiences.

Breeding a good horse is hard and seems to be getting even harder now days. Even some of the best trainers like Jbcri09 was trying to tell you breeding is tough as he just bred a bsr 104 which isn't very good. We all retire our share of new breeds. Some days are just lousy for breeding period and it helps to recognize them.

For Starfish if I don't breed anything decent in my first four or five breeds I stop and try again at another time. I personally have only bred one good horse in the last month while trashing several dozen others in the process. So you are not alone in being frustrated about breeding low bsr horses.

Breeding is one of the most challenging and critical parts of the trainer racing game.

I stopped breeding a while

I stopped breeding a while back. I have only one horse who can compete in a general out of about 75 I've bread in the last month. All I wanted was one horse so I could try some generals but I'm not prepared to spend $17,000 to get a G1 winner. LOL.

Almost as bad as getting low

Almost as bad as getting low BSR's is getting four 132ish BSR's in one night and none of them could beat Stephen Hawking in a race.
