So I had some horses turn three yesterday (which normally means they compete really well because of that sudden 50+ stats they typically get).

I'm not sure about the foundies, but i did notice the other horses you linked have higher training levels then yours, which would increase the luck factor.

my assumption is that whatever tweak Abbey made to the showing formula is the cause, as i've noticed similar results.

If that tweak is strong enough to make a low non-spec horse loose when it has 50 more overall stats than it's competitors that worries me a little.

I think it must have to do with training level. That’s happened to me before, even before the tweak. Sometimes horses just won’t perform. I showed this guy today and he won all of his classes, he has about average non-specs. I think it might just be a case of bad luck, unfortunately.

These days my horses rarely place top 3, and it’s not very strange. When I look at show records, I see that even horses with higher non-discipline stats, but with less overall stats, place better than my horses. Training level has not been a factor.

I have noticed my horses doing much poorer in shows the last week or so as well. I always show them when they are within 2-3 stats of hitting the next level unless they have super low non specs - then more like 10 within - but still they have bene doing poorly. I am considering just switching back to riding schools all of the time.

I really don't understand what is going on here.

I pulled all but my foundations and four Trakes into holding, and the foundations are tearing up the competition--but I also don't know why. They're "lowish" non-specialty as compared to standard foundation stock (57 or less), but they're definitely not what I'd have considered stellar competitors in general. I wonder if there's some sort of boost to foundations right now seeing as many of the winning horses are foundation?

My foundations are also doing abnormally well (but I thought it was because most of them are Racing horses and that is a less popular discipline), but maybe not?

Given that Abbey's tweak was only to attempt to level out the playing field between precode stats and postcode ns stats, I don't see why it should be making a huge difference suddenly. Especially when it was in place for a little bit before it was announced. She also said it wasn't a tweak that made concentrating stats into ns stats worth it, so by that reasoning there shouldn't have been much of an effect. Perhaps the showing entrants have changed?

I didn't mean to scare people away from showing (I'm still showing my horses), but I still believe something has changed in an unintended way. When I have the time I'll try to figure out when it changed; I just noticed yesterday but maybe it has been going on longer.
