As requested by a few people....
(17:07:24) mathare: Up to what age can we train a horse? I got a bit ocnfused about this
(17:07:28) mathare: confused
(17:07:39) Oldham: If you have no 'together' stats, concentrate on specialising in on distance and ground
(17:08:08) Oldham: horses train at 2 and 3
(17:08:40) Oldham: Aging is very important if you want your superstar to race beyond age 3
(17:09:15) Workshy: "To train on as a 4yo, you will require a minimum of 40 ageing points, to train on as a 5yo you will require 60 ageing points. If you don’t have the required ageing points at the end of it’s 3yo or 4yo career, the horse will be retired. "
(17:10:23) Oldham: have to talk to Mark on how he'll do that - in the old game horses 'lost' stats if they had no aging
(17:10:40) Oldham: Mark might have amended it slightly
(17:10:56) mathare: So if a horse has 40 ageing points at the end of next year it can be trained as it is now or can it just be raced/rested?
(17:11:20) Workshy: Read the rules Mat http://www.usahorseracing.net/simrules.html
(17:11:24) mathare: Evening JJ and okeydokey
(17:11:32) Oldham: I'll wait for Mark on that one Mathare
(17:12:37) mathare: Cheers worky I guess the ONLY in big bold letters means that their attributes at the end of their 3yo career are what they have from then on. I'll check with Mark though just to be 100% sure
(17:12:47) mathare: Speak of the devil...
(17:12:57) Workshy: Mark is the devil?
(17:13:10) markwales: G'day all
(17:13:11) mathare: If my horses don't win, yeah
(17:13:12) Workshy: Welcome Mark, Plater, JJ & Okey
(17:13:39) Oldham: Hi all recent to the room
(17:13:51) markwales: In answer to the above, whatever your horses ratings are at the end of it's 3yo season, that's what it keeps as a 4yo if it has the required 40 ageing points
(17:14:22) mathare: Wonderful, cheers for that Mark. BTW poker got worse after you left
(17:14:38) markwales: I put the rule in that you retire if you don't have the required ageing points to make life easier for me !!!..lol....may change that before we move into season 2
(17:16:10) markwales: Anybody know who the mysterious 'okeydokey' is?
(17:16:20) markwales: apart from okeydokey !!!!
(17:16:21) Workshy: I was thinking the same thing
(17:16:55) plater: Hi Gang, like someone said on the forum could anyone please post/copy/paste this discussion as I will be away in another 10 mins for the juration Thanks plater( and a special thanks to Mark).
(17:17:47) markwales: BTW, going back to the above, there are some VERY big prizes to be won in 4yo races, think Roayl Ascot, Breeders Cup etc..... If you do happen to find a superstar in your ranks, Ageing could be the key to a great 4yo career
(17:18:32) Oldham: Closing Betting and Pick 6 in 2 mins
(17:19:21) markwales: Thanks for helping with the betting / pick 6 Oldham, it is much appreciated....I've got all the webpages ready for uploading, so it's nice to be able to forget about 1 side of things !!...lol
(17:20:16) Oldham: I'll get the returns to you asap after racing.
(17:20:52) markwales: cheers
(17:21:14) markwales: I'll wait until 5.30 before starting in case anybody else will be joining us
(17:21:24) Workshy: not long now
(17:21:33) Oldham: Betting and Pick 6 are now closed
(17:22:35) markwales: Some very inetresting betting this week, with most people going for the favs, as well as their own string for sentmental reasons....
(17:23:06) mathare: Sentimental? Mine was based on financial reasons ie they are going to win
(17:23:30) Oldham: lol = when did sentiment come into betting?
(17:23:53) markwales: It's interesting to see how people bet, and how they read the numbers.....before we go into the results...there was ONE 'good thing' this week, did YOU find it?????
(17:24:03) Workshy: Sentiment, pah, why is my stable called the "Bank Job's"
(17:24:19) Workshy: Reverend Johnson Mark?
(17:24:36) markwales: I must have run the races 200 times whilst ironing out problems etc, and one horse won EVERY time the races were run
(17:24:37) mathare: Because you're going to have to pull a bank job to finance your betting???
(17:24:50) Oldham: Hope so Workshy - I put a bundle on it!
(17:25:09) markwales: All the other races wre topsy turvy as they should be
(17:25:12) Workshy: haha, we'll see Mat. Too right Oldham, it looked a winner to me
(17:25:32) markwales: races were run at 12.30pm today, to give me time to write the Race Report, and make sure all the mechanics were working ready for tonight's upload

(17:11:20) Workshy: Read the rules Mat http://www.usahorseracing.net/simrules.html
(17:11:24) mathare: Evening JJ and okeydokey
(17:11:32) Oldham: I'll wait for Mark on that one Mathare

(17:13:39) Oldham: Hi all recent to the room
(17:13:51) markwales: In answer to the above, whatever your horses ratings are at the end of it's 3yo season, that's what it keeps as a 4yo if it has the required 40 ageing points
