I notice in the last week all my horse’s fitness levels dropped to D’s and F’s. Is anyone else having this problem?
Yeah, I’m having it too. Even my horses that have raced yesterday or a few days ago have D’s and F’s for their fitness levels.
Same here. Phew, glad I’m not alone!
Has anyone reported this as a bug?
just noticed myself that my horses are all at D or F fitness…I haven’t reported it yet…

Mine are always at D or F fitness 
As a Newbie, this is the area causing the most concern. I check; find that I have a horse at A/A, which then just fades away. At what point is it wise to enter a race or am I being to impatient and its just a case of waiting for values to stabilise. 
The script that updates energy and fitness wasn’t running for the past week (not sure why). It has now been run, which should help your horses’ energy a ton, but fitness should go down if your horses have been at the farm.
Fitness should not go down otherwise, and will only go up if you train your horses or race them.
In the future, please report this in the bug system, so that I can track it easier.
And here I thought I was just an absolutely terrible trainer. lol
My horses look much better now.
How would the running of this script effect NE measurements? Would it cause NE to tank? Or is that a bug I should report? (I did, but it got closed…and now all my ponies are tossing their jockeys or tearing off his pants.)
It could have, yes. (Or rather, it would’ve caused NE to not be regained, so horses would just keep losing it and never getting it back for those days.)
Would this be something you would consider fixing/looking at if I filed a proper bug report? Or should I just save you the trouble and ship everyone home…because everyone is getting the low NE read out now.
I already fixed it when I closed the bug.
No, this occurred after the bug closed out (Saturday? Sunday?). Case in point, Fleeting Lady:
Yesterday’s workout
11/30/13 T. McFarlane 100% Aqueduct (Good - Turf) None Breeze - 3f
0:49.790
(Rank #1/1) – – Fleeting Lady tore off my pants, kicked me, dumped his waterbucket over my head and then took off down the road. Y
I still seem to have the same problem. All my horses have D and F energy.
Mine as well… and I’ve been exercising them!
Energy or fitness?
There have been no updates to the training code, so horses gain/lose fitness just as they always have. If you’re training your horses a lot, obviously they will lose energy in doing so.
All my horses have A energy and F fitness, even after some have raced not too long ago.
If you think this is a bug, then please report it as such, and include way more info such as…what horses are affected, what you’ve done to them, etc. Racing doesn’t always increase fitness, your horse could slack his way through a race and not get more fit from it. (Same with training, especially if you’re doing basic stuff like walking/trotting.)
I understand the Energy, but I had a 7 yr old horse (Classic Glory) race yesterday, 1/9, and when he finished, his Energy was an ‘F’. Today, when I went in to train my stable, his Energy was back to an ‘A’. That has NEVER happened before. It usually takes 3-4 days to get his Energy back. All of my horses seem to get Energy back way faster than they used to.
(And after I train them their Fitness increases (D to B) but the next day, it will be F again.)
