I also checked in the farm improvement section and checked the box to have a trainer accompany my horse to the starting gates (costs about $400 each race) but you'll quickly recoup that money with the more wins you bagĪlso I believe struggling with pace happens when you put a horse bred for longer distanced races like 1.3 furlongs in a shorter race like 6 furlongs. I had that come up for one horse so I looked in his training section and the head lad suggested I use a pacifer so I put blinkers on him. I can try and help you with the horse wouldn't settle. Maybe it could mean an inexperienced horse was straying from a path (going wide around turns, lugging out when they should be staying closer to the inside - both cases of losing ground and resulting in actually running a little further). "Ran a little freely", I don't know exactly how it applies in the game, but something like that might be said in real life if the horse was "rank", meaning it was too keen to really run early (using up too much energy early, and it's not easy for a jockey to get them to relax when they're like that). *Or if the horse did so well that he had plenty of energy left in the tank at the finish (it was easy for the horse) and looks like he could win a longer race. If you have a horse that can't match it's foes at shorter distance, try a longer distance to get away from all the speed horses you keep meeting in shorter races. *A longer distance can also help slow down the pace. Then it can come into contention with them later in the race, and have a good chance of competing with them on more even terms, maybe even an advantage with having saved its energy for later. *If it's not doing well in shorter races, maybe the horse makes a late run from the back of the field or he is a one-paced plodder that comes from mid division or farther back, and needs the horses closer to the pace (front runners, pressers, and to a lesser extent the stalkers) of a race to get exhausted with the help of some extra distance. I can't judge your specific race and horse, but in real life there would be various reasons to say this: As for those comments from the jockey, in the first case he thinks a longer distance would suit the horse.
