Force Ten is probably past his prime. I suggest gelding him, which may help him run a little better–he’s still not going to be stellar. It may just be time to retire him. If you don’t want to do that, send him home for a few weeks, try him again, then geld him if he’s not doing better.
Tigers Eye may be immature. She’s only run five times, so there’s the experience factor as well. I suggest workouts for her to get her fitness up, and so you can find out what equipment she likes. You’re also running her almost every raceday. Send her home, give her a few weeks’ rest before you do anything.
There’s a box, right below where your money is displayed, that says “Training Statistics (View Details)” It is divided into two columns, which have your stats for this year and overall. At the bottom, it says “Summary | Schedule | Workouts | Shipping” click on summary. It will show what your horses’ energy/fitness levels are.
While Force Ten may be past his prime, he still has all his condition to go through which could help him and you earn some money. He hasn’t seen the farm since November of last year so I would send him home for a months rest. Then try and find a dirt maiden for him. He’s only raced on the dirt 3 times and two of those times were against graded stakes company. He did try a NW2 once on the dirt and finished 2nd. This guy could still earn you quite a bit of money if he’s not completely past his prime you should be able to get him through his Maiden - NW3 conditions.
Like Sora said you might want to space Tigers Eye’s races out (and Force Ten’s as well). Most of my horses can usually race every 2 weeks but most times get 3 weeks between races. Just watch their energy and make sure it’s at least at B before you enter.
Good luck and if you have any more questions feel free to ask!
