It just isn't 'real life' to have so many freaks and blue hens in this game. I know it makes people happy to have them, and its hard to keep people happy in this game, but it seems to me that should be reserved for the upper 0.5% of the population. Every breeding farm in the real world doesnt have a blue hen in the pasture nor do they have a kentucky derby quality horse in or even a stakes horse in the training barn. We need another category, for the super upper crust, to reflect this.

I’ll second this. The futurity is the premier race with the bigger purse, so at least it has a trophy

I have a idea that I am not sure if its been mentioned before .... but its in regards to stallions that are getting ready to be pensioned. I know it comes up in the news feed, and if you check on the individual horse if he's that age you will see if he’s limited with time. But to avoid missing out on any stallion, there could be a section to list all “almost pensioned” stallions. You could have a alert system to alert you on those horses too which would be very helpful, but I also think a list you could go to even if its a simperior advantage, where you can see such a list.

And I also reckon the Most American Derby deserves a trophy :) too!

Edit: want to add one more thing - Embryo Transfer for QH, Appy & Paint mares. So for a large sum or GP’s hopefully not too out of reach for too many - ET for racemares, and even for that older mare that may be at risk of dying. While the racemare situation is straight forward, older mares could have a ET done and that foal would count as in their number of foals but they do not get the risk of dying. There could be just the straight fee for the new foal. Or maybe you have to have a recipient mare for every ET foal to make it more real. Maybe some already owned mares that are young but not suitable in their pedigree or breeding potential can go on to be a ET mare instead of being pensioned.

Stallions
*Silver Kitty Cat
*Macha Taima
*Rockin to the Stars & more
Past Stallions
*Black Wolf *Blue Montana Gold *Fire Fire *Streakin Goldstrip
*Bear Encounter *Blood Red Sun *Held High and other greats

Could we please get a “Grandsire” sorting column on the search results page, please! ☺️

Also, a button to view/hide columns on auctions like we can in our barns peas ❤️

How about Stakes stats, so we don't need to go to the results and count ourselves?

Example:
Total Stats: 14: 5-2-4
Dirt: 14: 5-2-4
Turf: 0: 0-0-0
AW: 0: 0-0-0
Listed Stakes: 3
G3: 2
G2: 0
G1:1

I have spreadsheets for this, it would be amazing not have to do it manually

At the the same place like the overall results, where we see the horses pedigree, gender, name etc. In that template, would be nice.

Can we please have the categories adjusted in the ranking page so we can separate out stats between normal TB horses and steeplechasers?

Within the last 4 season there was already a change implemented to separate out the mixer breeds from the overall stats via a drop down.
Is there any reason why this change has not yet been implemented to distinguish the difference between a true TB and a Chaser?
My suggestion is separate them between "TB FLAT" & "TB CHASE".

When I am viewing player rankings for TB FLAT horses I am unable to sort out all the trainers running chasers and it causes the rankings to not appear accurate according to what I am trying to view. If they were categorized in the rankings books/pages between the two it would make things easier.

The Steeplechasers themselves already have a way of differentiating the records between the two right on the horse page so I know the coding would not be that difficult for this change.
