If you are an experienced breeder, and your blue hen isn't producing after at least 3 foals, you soon realize maybe she isn't as advertised.
Especially when her pedigree tells you she is overrated.
No need to change IMO.
many reasons to change, one being auctions with all blue hens - hundreds.

Would it be possible to have automated messages be sent out when you own a horse nominated for a SIMMY and/or if your horse wins one?

Or if we could have a new ranking, for mares who produce on an absolutely absurd level like Let It Go and Shahir'ra. Those would be the true Blue Hens, in my opinion, but I can see how removing 99.9% of Blue Hen ratings would lead to a riot. Call them "Once in a Lifetime", "lightning in a bottle", etc. mares. Then maybe a shift like what we saw with gallops to lower Blue Hens across the board to a certain %.

Also, my eyes glazed over looking at all the entries for the TB Simmy's. Would love it if they were split up into different links. Maybe All 2yo awards in one, champion turf horses in another, etc. Or even by region, like all N.A. horses in one, all European horses in another. Just anything so that it's more manageable.

Is there any good reason why we couldn't add "sire" as a column in our barns/simperior account to select or not?

Some would but let them yell. It would be better for everyone if we could rely on hypo's and BSA more.

:) Sorry Emily, but I’d rather people yell instead of having a barn full of hens who don’t produce ;)

It’s the hypos that need updating, it’s getting out of hand at this point.

I agree with this. I shouldn't have A+ hypos that are anything but top of the barrel, absolute freaks. Are hypos for the division or just overall? Maybe changing the hypo per division at a baseline could help

Agreed. I think letting us see stuff that encourages different kinds of play is interesting (soundness, fitness, etc) but I don't really get the point of heart but maybe I'm missing stuff
