I'd like the ability to be able to to have an "Unsure About Equipment" checkmark when setting a horses equipment. Would use this in cases where I'm not quite sure if I have it right or not, so I know to follow up on these animals.

I just use the Equipment Set star for the ones that are confirmed, and not for the ones that I'm unsure about. I routinely jockey check everything without a star after every race.

This is done now with a caveat. Deceased horses that are in the previous owner's cemetery, will have their owner listed in the rankings. If the horse is not in their cemetery, then no owner will be listed in the rankings.

Great!!! Thanks. Figured it wouldn't be perfect but is nice to see a lot more owners listed

Since purses for stakes were reduced, could we have the stallion earnings threshold for mixers lowered to $300k? I'm looking at the 3yo and 4yo colts and their earnings, and I think it would be helpful.

Did the Barn column go away as an option in the custom barns? I think I miss it (if it used to be there and I didn't dream...☺). Can we have it back, please?

Get rid of the colt/filly ratio. Does it really still serve a purpose?

Can retired mares somehow be marked by their "buy" button being a different color or something on the sales page? I'm a derp and have wasted probably 15k just this week buying mixer fillies who I don't realize are retired, plus the costs to GP them because they are useless to me. I"m sure others accidentally do that too?

I did it as a new player quite often and both ways. Bought fillies that weren’t retired when I was looking for broodmares

I feel kind of bad asking for something again so soon after getting the greatest thing ever in claiming horse type (yet not bad enough not to ask I guess)

Not sure if this one is possible logistically coding wise but I was wondering if it would be possible to get a hypo grades tab for stallions you didn't own so you could see all the mares you'd hypo'd to that stallion.

I think what would be helpful is adding when you have one piece a v or g letting you know which is needed to get the 2nd piece
