I'm freaking crying. This is hysterical. Yes, I want this too, Em! I want to see horses rolling in tires down the track.

From what I read about 6 or 7 years ago...those weird racing videos use to be played in Japanese bars...the owner would buy a new video disk with a number of races on them. The folks in the bar would place small bets with tokens on who would win and and just laugh at the races and the silly finishes....and since everyone was in such a good mood, more drinks were sold. :D

I love how clever/funny they are, it's been a few years since I've watched them...might have to go do so again. : )

I am hoping to see the equipment/gallop debacle finally adjusted. At this point the only way to find out if a horse DEFINITELY requires X number of pieces is to pay GP's.

Workout times are far from reliable due them not actually confirming the number (remind me again what qualifications the assistant trainer has?) of equipment required and the variables in times is not normally so far apart to confirm an actual piece

Galloping is borderline useless when you could gallop 50 times for no result, then pay GP's and find the horse requires no piece or a vet piece.

As for 500gp to buy TWO letters... i am sure i will lose sleep in all the excitement of this valuable addition. 🤣

I think I'm just as excited that I finally have all my horses entered - that could be entered. Done! Yay!
*and that would be about 165 runners*

The GP addition we announced during the Arc broadcast was that for 500 GPs you can extend a name to 20 characters.

Oh, I thought it would be something like for 500GP extra you could buy both equipment pieces. 18 letters is already hard to fit on nameplates, 20 is a nope from me LOL

I'm noticing that while I can schedule a vet check for the first week of Y54, I cannot schedule a gallop or any other exercise. Hmmmmmmm... :?:
