1. Aren't you on honeymoon?

2. Auto shipping is linked to the simperior account. Isn't the simperior option only supposed to make the game easier and not improve your results?

3. Time zones - so long as I'm there on time I'm for it!

4. Going forward let's go to real life and match the sim to 52 weeks . This will allow the Arc to be run on the 1st Sunday in October, as it should be :D

Wish list
Alternate horses between jumps and flat.
Search for previous rather than current owners of horses.
Stallions year entered for stud duties.
Automated assistant trainers - sorted, kind of!
European claiming circuit.

When I look at a specific day of my Current Entries, it would be desirable for there to be a training button by each horse entry and a button at the top to train all of them. For example, I might want to give all of them a walk or jog a couple of days before their races. Currently, I am doing this via the Racing Barn (sort column and then select individually by Race Date). But with multiple post times doing this via the Racing Barn could be quite burdensome. Plus, it would be desirable to schedule this pre-race activity in terms of a couple of days before the actual post time (when local post times are implemented).

Thank you all for your thoughts and input. The response is primarily positive. Therefore, we will implement the changes as stated at the start of this thread on Week-5 Day-7 so that week 6 begins with the new approach to race opening/closing. Also, we will implement the freshly redesigned AutoShip feature which is based on arrival times and post times rather than departure times. I will make a separate post outlining that enhancement.

Thank you.

I like the new shipping idea so that the horses arrive a certain time before the race but I wondered if this will affect the start time for races for W6 D1 and afterwards that we might have already entered ?

Excellent that you can organize a time of results in the races, all over the world, I think according to the schedule of each player according to their geographical area, the earlier the results, the better it will be for him.

And talking about changes for a better game.

Is about the Steward auctions, they are the best and quality, I think that should be placed to each horse, for sale the nomination to run the Steward Cup, without the owner having to nominate him, that each horse is nominated to participate .

Hopefully soon you can see come true.

I like the new timing of races thing but I just want to check - will we still have the same amount of time to scratch a horse from a race?

You may scratch up to 24 hours prior to the post time.
