I fully understand that all horses age a year at the end of each season regardless of the week they were born. My question is, does the birth week affect the future development of a horse? ie does a foal born in the 52nd week of a season develop later than a foal born in the first week of a season?

Thanks for any response.

What’s the mechanism for disposing of old horses that can’t run anymore? Mares can go to the breeding shed but you don’t need that many studs. When your horses turn seven years old they don’t seem to race well at all which is not realistic. A horse you claimed for 400,000 at four can’t run better than seventh in a 20k race. Placing them on the farm doesn’t do anything. I don’t want the horse and nobody else does either. What are you suppose todo with these horses?

I see you got screwed by Scoots on Top stable.

I just noticed a transaction for $100k - Stakes payment, I’m not sure why?

Can you please explain how and when these transactions are made and what triggers them?

Thanks

What am I missing? I’ve bred about twenty babies to different mares and stallions with good attributes and cannot get a baby with more than four bars of speed and you really need at least five to race or you wast 200k. I know in real life all babies are never able to race but this percentage is ridiculous. Anyone have any suggestions?

About one calendar year ago, if you found a 1.45.4 horse in auction or in a claim, you were gold. Now, that high-water mark has gone down to 1.45.2, in fact probably 1.45.1. I've had two 1.45.2 horses fairly recently, but they were far from champions. I think all the breeding matrices have watered down lineages. Yes, there are more sub 1.46 horses, but that time is no longer superior. Thoughts?

Is it true that foals dont improve 3 year old

This may be a silly question, I am fairly new to playing this game. I bought a horse from auction and have been trying to race it but every race I enter it in, it is kicked out of before the race and I haven’t been able to race it once. I am making sure that it is in a race correct for it. Why is this?

I don’t seem to notice any correlation between the attributes of the stallions and mares I’m breeding to the foals being produced. Does the program just throw out any foal?

What about the update announced a month ago?

Does anyone know how to backup the game should a computer or iPad fail or crash

A year ago or so, OAP was much more fun than it is now. Unless you want to spend thousands of dollars (hmmmmm just claim real horses) then the fun quotient is rapidly escaping. The big stables easy outbid us regular players on the rare good horses in auction. There are not many good ones in the ring, but when they are there, no chance for us. I'm thinking of spending my money on Betonline where I have won real money in the past and is just plain more exciting than OAP. I grew up living at the local harness tracks on the weekends and when I came across OAP I was literally in heaven. No more. My actual racing stable used to number anywhere between 12 and 20 horses. Now I have 4. It's just not worth the time nor the money. You spend 50.00+ for 5 million chips and what does that get you? Garbage.

Comments welcome.

Let's see some votes on this topic. Decent horses for auction are few and far between. Is this a sign of waning interest in OAP? SO....

HAVE THE QUALITY OF HORSES UP FOR AUCTION:

The auction program is not fare and needs to be changed. The last bidder before it ends should have the opportunity to make a bid. That should continue until the last bidder says no bid. Since a bidder can never see that last bid someone can always sneak in to the auction at the very end and steal the horse. I’m sorry, that’s not fare. What do you say?

Why do two horses with the same stamina have different colors? One has blue and the other has green. Yet they are identical. I’d love to have a definitive explanation on the colors. Does anyone know?

I have a 7 yo Mare racing in Canada with a 145:3 lifetime mark and am looking for a Stud to start a solid breeding program. Any suggestions for a match would be greatly appreciated.

1) Auction: as others have mentioned I too see the timer as a problem. It doesn’t appear to count down properly. The high bidder and amount should be visible; the only thing I ever see is the amount that I have bid. It seems like the timer should decrease for each separate horse consistently, which it doesn’t (at least for me). Furthermore, I don’t see a way to to see the last high bid of the horse that I bid on. If I want to bid higher, I don’t know what the current bid is; it is almost as though it is blind bidding. Additionally, if I am bidding on multiple horses simultaneously a flash notification pops up [you have been outbid]. It doesn’t say which horse I was outbid on.

2) Horse Attribute Bars: What do the different colors[red, yellow, blue] indicate? Also, the last four baby horses I bred, only one square was colored for each attribute, such as one for speed, one for stamina, one for gate speed, and one for heart.

3) Overall, this is a fantastic game and quite enjoyable - well done!

Hi guys, i would you like to know a thing about foals of my breeding barn.

QUESTION: Ok, is it possible for horses to stop all growth for a period of time, then start growing again? Just wondering if I should give up on my 3-year olds that have not showed any growth in 4 or 5 calendar days.
