Did I do the Transitional Park math correctly?

[Kelly Haggerty]

So I have, for a sample scenario, a brand-new player joining W1 of SIM year X . I am also assuming that Player weeks continue during break weeks.

Then:

* They can breed their first foal W6 of YR X (new player breeding hold week 1-5)
* They have their first sprinter starters in W1 of YR X+2, which is their 37th week of SIM play, so near the end of their JR season
* They have their first miler starters in W7 of YR X+2, which would be their 43rd week
* They have their first router starters in W10 of YR X+2, which would be their 46th week


If so, they would only be able to race homebred routers for 13 weeks, or about 4-6 starts. Should I take this to mean that Transitional Park will be weighted towards sprinters and milers?


Maybe a younger brain can double-check me? Already edited the post because I caught one mistake. Maybe people will catch another.

I can give you a real-life test case.

I am currently in my 82nd week in the SIM, so I have another 18 weeks to go as a Intermediate Player.

My oldest homebred are currently 4 years old. They will be 5 years old next season, when I am still an Intermediate Player.

So, I think you can run a full set of races at Transitional Park.

But with 9 races per week, I would assume it would be 3 of each type: Sprinters, Milers and Routers. Probably more heavily weighted toward 2 year olds (for Sprinters) and 3 year olds for Milers and Routers.

My 4 year old horses (bred when I was a New Player) is quite small (around 10 horses), so i don't think it would be worthwhile to have 4 year old races, maybe 3 year olds and up.

I would assume that the races would be mostly Maiden Special Weight, with an occasional Allowance or NW2. The end of season would be the Stakes races.

Aaah I had 60 weeks total, it is 100 weeks total? 20/20/60?

Yes, you get to be an Intermediate Player until your 100th week on the SIM
