I know Breed Speciality gives double points. However, do those points give out when you enter races or in results?


 


Example:


 


On one account I have 2 different horse breeds. The account is set up as a speciality for breed 1.  When I train, I transfer breed 2 to another account that I have set up for breed 2 for training only.  I enter breed 2 under this account for all shows--private and public. Then I transfer them back.


 


So, am I getting the breed specialty bonus when I am entering on the training account for breed 2, even though they are sitting on their home account?

Ok so here's the breakdown on how point awarding goes:

Point Earnings:
1. All horses earn entrance points.
Bonus 1. Breed specialty earns double entrance points at time of entry (when you train them).
Bonus 2. Horses only earn more points if they place in the first 50 places (when the shows run).
Bonus 3. Upgrade with breed specialty earns 1.5x points on the first 10 places (when the shows run).

In your case, whether or not your breeds are getting the full breed specialty bonus depends on whether or not your accounts are upgraded :D

If they are, then Breed 1 - which does not move accounts and stays on its own breed specialty account through training and show running, earns the full bonus. However, breed 2 does not. They are earning 2 of the 3 bonuses, depending on their places won in shows. They are not getting Bonus 3, even if they place in the first 10 places. Switching accounts with Breed 2 is causing you to miss out on points in this case.

If your accounts are not upgraded, then both breeds are earning all the breed specialty point bonuses possible for basic accounts. They are getting Bonuses 1-2, but 3 is only available to upgrades. Switching accounts with Breed 2 has no effect in this case, as long as Breed 2 is entered into shows on an account with its breed specialty.

Hope this helps! :D

Ok. So switching accounts in no bueno. This is actually good as it's a pain to switch them back and forth. 

Account is upgraded, btw.

So, if I switch the breed specialty every week before training from one to the other, that would give 1 breed all 3 one week and the other all 3 the other, correct?
