What if a horse wins a G1 on the flat early in the season and wins a G1 as a chasers later that season?
Seems highly unlikely, but it depends how the stats are calculated.

How I think the stats are calculated is by going through the races the player entered, not even caring who the Individual horses are. And therefor the system would be able to tell the difference between flat and jump races run by the same horse who becomes a steeplechaser mid year.

When a horse “becomes a steeplechaser” it is able to be sorted/listed as a separate breed in your racing barn technically it IS a separate breed. So it should be easy for the the system to sort the results over jumps vs flat, even if a specific horse won on flat and over jumps in the same year.
In which case it should be just as easy to sort by division as Katie suggested earlier.

Steeplechasers are also listed as a horse type, same as TR/DR etc.

Practical question to this particular conversation. If steeplechasers were to be classified as a separate breed, when a chasing mare is retired, will they be able to breed to a turf route stallion who has ability siring steeplechasers, or can they only breed to that stallion if that stallion is made cross-breedable (and the programming implemented to allow for that)? I'd rather advocate for revisiting the decision that steeplechasing be a permanent switch, so a horse could run on both flat and over jumps in the same season, if that horse was talented enough.

Then make your own suggestion instead of arguing with me about mine?

And being able to set a horses type has nothing to do with what I’m talking about. Yes steeplechase is a division, but in the SIM (yes in game, not real life) they seem to be modified in the system to be a new “breed”, since anyone, even without SIMperior, can sort out their steeplechasers one their barns using the breed filter.

Maybe steeplechasers should be made to be a separate breed. And multi-use stallions will have their cross breeding slots used for chasers vs their TB slots. *I* wouldn’t want that, because I’m trying to breed TR/SCers

This would be amazing! It used to if the horse was returned the same day, doesn’t anymore 💔

I sent a message to Em earlier asking the very same thing :)

It should be possible now we can assign more than one division to a horse. They wouldn't need to "become a steeplechaser"

For stallions there is a box that lists all their winners on different surfaces. Anyway we can get this to be different distances for mixer stallions? Unless we are going to start running mixers on turf and AW? :D

Since stallions can now have multiple types, can we have a column in the studbook that lists all the types a stallion is noted for? This would be super helpful. :D

This obviously isn't a "small" thing but wasn't sure how else to bring it up.

I would love to be able to ask the trainer for the fitness of a single horse or set of horses without jogging them. I would pay for this.

How about adding Cindy Sugar beet to your staff, Veterinary Dietitian.

She will tell you the correct feed at its current stage of devolpment your horse needs for 500GPs

Could be a choice of 5 items, getting the correct one could give a small boost in performance much in the same way a geld does.

The diet could be reviewed each season as the horse develops .
