Steeplechase races

Post by Eric Gray »

I recently thought I would dip my toes into steeplechase racing. I bought a few mares and bred a few foals. Unsurprisingly, they were DC on flat. I trained them to jump and got nothing big, but that's ok. They are now 2. They are in my racing barn, but I just read that there aren't any races until 3. If that is the case, why are they in my racing barn and not my training barn?

I think it might be because you *could* race them on the flat if you wanted to. There may be some people who do try them out on the flat depending on sire or dam lines. IIRC there are or were a few steeplechase sires that also produced decent flat racers. If you already made them steeplechasers, though, it wouldn't be possible.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The game doesn’t know if you want to race them flat or not so they have to go straight to the racing barn
yeah
