Refusing to Run At All?

When you get the jock comment “So and so refuses to run at all” is that indicative of NE or just not liking certain conditions (surface, equipment, etc.)?

If it is NE, I’m surprised to be receiving it on a horse who has had 20 days downtime in January.

Generally, what is the range of time that a horse can go from 0 to 100% NE?

Completely random probably but the past couple of days about 80% of the horses I’m training have come up with the ‘refuses to run’ comment. I’m assuming it’s just a coincidence though.

No help from me, not sure what it’s supposed to mean!

Yeah… I’ve gotten a lot of those and a lot of bucking, spooking, fight, etc. I’m not sure if that means they’re too fit or low on NE or what.

Or if it’s a glitch and should be reported to the hand dandy new bug reporting thing. I just need to figure out what the jock is trying to tell me first.

I think there’s a bug none of my horses have been worked out since Jan. They are supposed to every Monday if not racing.

It is indicative of NE. Horses gain 2-5 points of NE per day at the farm. So if their NE is < 0, it could take well over 20 days to get back to 100%.

If you believe there’s a bug, use the system to report it.

I’ve changed my shipping home policy, so it would totally make sense that they’re starting to get pissed off. Plus now that auto-workouts are actually working… Thanks for the decode. Duly noted.

Oops… and I was thinking that this is about their fitness, or not being used to the track.

Looks like it’s working again but I’m getting the refusing to run at all comment too.

Ship 'em home for a month. If it’s still a problem after that, then bug report it.

Well my filly refused to run at all and on next workout she refused to rate at all. Is it something opposite? :wink:

No, refusing to run is one stat and refusing to rate is another.
