Here is a little item that has always bugged me. Spending many weeks, sometimes even a full SIM year (if it's an Arabian) galloping 25-30 or more times looking for that training piece. For a vet piece, it might take 10-15 tries max, but I get the piece on the same day, whereas 15 gallops take a minimum of 30 days if you're trying not to injure your horse. I'd like to see something like a 15 gallop maximum, and you are told the piece on the 15th gallop, if it wasn't revealed earlier. The 15 gallops would have to be spread out over at 30 day minimum, so you could gallop every other day (if your horse can handle that schedule) and at least have that training piece light at the end of the tunnel.
Here's an example at 35 gallops so far and counting.

I know timed workouts can be done, and I do that quite a bit as well, but even when I get the training piece that way, I still like to try and verify it through gallops afterwards so I'm not guessing going into that horse's first race.
Edited with this addendum. Em could even turn this into an opportunity to get a bit more money/gp out of the SIM, by allowing us to purchase "gallop imsurance". Once the trainer reveals that he'll "have to observe this horse in training to figure it out", we could be offered the opportunity to purchase (for 100 gp or S$1,000) that he will reveal that piece within the first ten gallops. If money or game points are being exchanged, I'd like to see it happen in the first ten gallops instead of the first 15. Is that reasonable? Or have I had too much Ambien and coffee?
