Now that shipping isn’t a problem in terms of rest, I’m super excited to see people trying out international campaigns! So many brilliant match ups incoming!

Plus, it’ll be so much easier to find the perfect race for your horse when shipping isn’t a factor! Love that change ❤️

I’m the opposite lol now all the big races will have the same horses in them, no variety.

I actually thought having to consider long shipping times when planning a schedule and deciding which international races to pursue was a great challenge for Trainers of the best horses. I think first class shipping makes it kinda boring, but if it's needed to take Money out of the game and most People are a fan of it, so be it

There's actually an added element of cleverness needed to train now. Yes, if you pay the fee you can have more international races. But racing against top horses all the time usually leads to higher speed figures and makes them more tired, thus you can actually do damage if you go for ALL the gold... going to have to pick and choose your spots, maybe even more carefully than before.

That makes sense, hadn't really considered that. Will definitely be interesting to see the different strategies.

I had a horse in Europe run and I'm not on the list. So I don't think it's all the races.
