Racing Luck - Or can it be fixed?

[John Smith]

37 races tonight - 10 bad brakes could include "inwards/outwards/stumbled, etc.." 27% maybe this is standard, starting can be rough IRL

Had 3 stakes races tonight - 2 of those three were bad breaks - "stumbled start then steadied," was a heartbreaker for a g2 event finished 3rd - but only 5 horses and two were there for check cashing!. Broke outward in the other g2 event (finished 2nd) but not sure I was going to beat that horse anyway. 67% BRUTAL...

Yes they have all been trained in the gate

Is this "racing luck?" or should I be looking for new jockeys? Or doing something else? I have top rated jockeys by the comments at least.

I'm assuming this is "luck," so stay away while our barn is in retrograde...

im in the same boat if it makes you feel any better i think those comments are to serious when you see them stumble or fall to their knees that is the impactful comment.

The randomizer can be a big ol jerk sometimes. I remember one year almost every single one of my stakes entries pulled pp1 or 2 just luck of the draw.

[Lily Wilkins]

Yes, the quality of your horse's break is luck-based. There's not much you can do about it except scream into a pillow and hope the SIM gods smile upon you next time

Painful - maybe this randomizer could be "tweaked?' I mean in a 5 horse race you would expect less troubled starts than say a 7 or 10 or 12 horse field...But the fact it was my 2 best stakes horse attempts of the 3 while the one I knew probably wouldn't win, and didn't, but "broke well" all at a rate well above tonight's average in comparison to the other races makes it hard to digest. Field sizes for these stakes races were 5, 6 and 6. Brutal.

curse of having a decent horse or two , I guess... never used to matter when my lousy runners ran lousy or got bad luck - they were going to be in the back anyway!
