Find ways to help middle year players get past the "frustration zone" and keep playing.

Enjoy the game while trying to get the best out of each runner.

I second Erin's goal, I sort of forgot about workouts after a few weeks.

Otherwise idk. In some ways I've had the best season of my time in the sim so far, but everything I've succeeded with has been a product of throwing everything at the wall and hoping a couple things stick at random. I guess the goal is to figure out my goals.

1. Be smarter about where I place my horses. I tend to rush and not pay much attention, so long as they get entered. That method...doesn't work.
2. Pension mares that aren't producing. I have to stop believing they'll get a good slide at some point.
3. Get at least one stakes (of any kind!) win.
4. Actually start my routers in their 2YO season.

No goals for me. My best horse, Beena's Gold was retired and bred. I haven't found a suitable replacement yet. Just throw my new breeding's at the wall and see what sticks. I just play and see what happens.

Still I think the goal is to just keep getting better

However, there are some things I did in year 57 that I did so well that I think making goals to beat them would be ridiculously hard, particularly the 27 stakes wins and 9 grade 1 wins. I could definitely work on my win% and per start earnings by not racing late blooming sub-allowance horses since that depressed those stats a little bit and never worked out for me (really haven't had an on track improver since Storm Flag, so dunno what I was expecting). I also am trying to get closer to having stats like Cleo, who had almost twice as many grade 1 wins and like 2 million more in earnings with barely more than half my starts, but that is almost certainly something that I can't catch up to anytime soon barring some insane luck.

So I'm not really sure what to have as a goal other than to keep improving and have fun.

I think there's a 95% chance I break 1000 wins lifetime in year 58 so I have that to look forward to! :)

ooooo this is a fun exercise!

1) Top the amount of stakes wins I got in Y57
2) Get at least on stakes gallop from one of my first crop of foals
3) Continue my breeding program and acquire more blue hen mares to own rather than lease
4) Begin writing race reviews in addition to my new player articles
5) Make more friends! (if your reading this plz dm me I want to be friends)
6) Win a Grade 1 Stakes race
7) Make at least 1M in earnings again
8) Finish out the season with at least 900k in savings
Faking it till I make it, and then faking it some more.
