I have always used the jockey K Berry for my horse, Screamingtothemax. Recently, I can’t pick him as a jockey to use, or any other Veteran jockeys, which I could use before. I can only use Apprentice jockeys now. Why?
Also - I just switched Screamingtothemax to steeplechase. Could this be why? There are no Veteran steeplechase jockeys?
Yes, K. Berry is a flat jockey, so he can’t ride steeplechasers.
Shanthi - Just out of curiosity, if you have the Default Racing Options for a flat racer set up with a particular flat jockey, what will happen to those settings if you switch the horse to steeplechasing? Will the jockey remain as the default or will it go to blank? I have a feeling that I have bought a horse in the past that had been recently switched to steeplechasing, and, when I checked their options, they had a flat jockey as their default.
