Is this the wish list? :P As a newbie maybe I'm asking for things that already exist and I just haven't found...
  1. Favourite marking of a horse, like a star or checkbox.
    • Most importantly a "favourite marked" horse (or "do not claim marked" if you wish) would not be possible to enter in a claim race (like the leased horses) and maybe not to sell. (Not that I have made that mistake yet, but the anxiety levels are rising! :? )
    • Add "Favourite" to the Status filter function in all barns (or somewhere else, "Show only favourites" :) )
  2. In the Horse location list (I check in now and then to make sure I've not forgotten anyone one a race track or any too expensive farm), when I click on a location the sort order is by horse name. I would like to be able to change sort order to by owners. Or choose "Show my horses". Now I use the web browser's search if it's a long list. It work but...
  3. Also tied to the point above, perhaps a Status filter for "Located at farm"/"Located at race track".
  4. And this would be super! :) :

Hello Ronnie,
the topic I made is unfortunately named in a way that makes your suggestion of
default workout times somewhat invisible.

Why don't you bring it up in the "one little thing"-thread, or make a thread of your own
named appropriately so that it may be found more easily? I have seen your suggestion
mentioned previously and its a good idea that would save us all time. I reckon both
the Steward and her father are well aware of our wishes. There's probably a reason to
why it haven't yet been implemented. Still it probably wouldn't hurt to mention it in a better
place than in an apprecation thread for another feature.

Regards,
-Ash

It is amazing that something that I could not ever imagine using gets implemented.

On the other hand, something that would greatly aid me and many others has not yet been implemented -- I think it was first suggested many RL years ago. When I am working my horses to determine their equipment, I train each horse at a specific distance and surface. After looking at the horse's workout times. I decide what equipment to try on their next workout. When I get to the workout screen, I click on the equipment to try. Then I have to (correctly) set the distance and surface of the workout. For each horse, I would prefer to set a default workout distance and surface (rather than 2 furlongs Dirt). Then when I get to the workout screen, this specified distance and surface would be the default (selected) value.

This has probably been said a bunch of times (sorry cant read) but it would be sweet if chase comment was a separate column in racing barn and was a separate entity in the stud book

Any way we could get a trash folder for our messages. Somewhere where deleted messages would live for say a month so if we changed our mind we could go back and retrieve them.

I don't if it has been suggested before, I think a before or after a certain date in the finding a race will be helpful. Example - After week 12 day 5 or Before week 14 day 2

Programmed options to card races based on lifetime training records (ie: nw:0 lifetime, or nsw:0 lifetime, etc.)

This would allow us to keep the TP stakes for non-winners going without having to manually cull the fields on race day and make more work for the Steward.

So now that auctions can show the gallop comment if you pay the extra GP.
Would it be possible to include the improvement comment since as well it is already tied into the gallop comment?

I feel this would definitely effect how a player would bid at an auction based on that extra info.

Thanks!

It would definitely affect how a player would bid, It would make it so much easier for everyone to know exactly what they were getting.

Of course most players wouldn't stand a chance of getting the best ones. Some risk needs to be left in.

If this is not implemented I can easily just create a catalog including bloom comments.

I've been waiting for this to be implemented for a long time, can't believe they still haven't added it.

Why would you enter your horse in a claiming race if you want to claim it back? O.o
