Record Loss ?
Allright guys here is a good one. I just set up a 2 mile race and thought I would try a longshot that I have had some luck with in other races, well I definetely think I set a record, she lost by 102 lenghts. Wow talk about an idea going bad ha. My wife still has`nt stopped laughing for that matter neither have I. Hope you all have a laugh too. Gus

By the way the hoss was Global Beleiver Maybe someone else would like to try to top my 102L loss. lol, Gus
That is funny. 'Cause the horses usually start doing this helpless lame trot. I can picture it
~~~~~~~~
May they all come home safely!!!
Lame trot? hell it was a slow crawl, had to see it to appreciate it, lol, Gus
Yes I am well familiar with the lame trot in the game. First the tail, instead of streaming straight backwards in the wind, droops sadly. Then the gait shortens, and goes from the beautiful motion of a thoroughbred in full stride to something resembling a crab with severe back problems.
I once had Zippy Chippy run a match race with Man o' War at 1.5 miles. He lost by 84 lengths, adopting the lame trot about 5f into the race.
I think what might have happened here, Gus, is that it took you too long to hook the horse to your buggy. LOL..Just kidding.
If the developers ever change the game so that some of the tracks go in a clockwise direction, your horse will be soooo far in front, there will be no catching him.
Gus, I don't seem to have, Global Believer. Bet he/she was from the August community horses. I like messing around with all of the community horses too.
Not trying to steal your thread, Gus, but I had a horse (forget his/her name) that was still a maiden after more than 40 races. I was curious. If I was his/her trainer, could I find a suitable race for him/her to win. Well, I looked at the past performances. Out of all those races, he/she only had one good race . A second place finish on the turf at a track in Oklahoma.
I duplicated everything the best I could, including same track, turf course and condition of turf course (yielding) I put him/her against nine other maidens to give her some sort of chance.
Lo and behold, he/she came from behind, like that second place finish and won handily, by 4 lengths. By placing this horse properly, I won a few more, actually, in a row. I'm glad we're all giving our fantasies a workout. LOL
Global Beleiver is from the same batch that King Tnt Is. I looked at my files and they were actually the September vip horses not the August Batch. Too bad you dont have her you are really missing, hmm, well you`re really missing nothing but the biggest loser of all time and just think that record is mine, ALL MINE. lol, lol, my wife finally stopped laughing. Gus
I start to feel bad for my horse when he gets into that stagger mode a la Jeanne Jones in the 1987 Breeders Cup Juvenile Fillies, or Real Quiet in the Belmont . I've even been known to ease the poor beasts just to make sure I don't get set down for a few days by the HRFC stewards.
