Two Small Things

[Gwen Morse]

I would really like to be able to dump my horse records to a CSV file. But since I already know this would cause an insane load on the servers if it didn't have a limit, I would like the information to be available during a limited time each season, probably around now (during break, after the foals are born and before races start). The file itself could either sit at a link where we could download it for a limited time, or be emailed to us.

This could be part of simperior or have its own GP cost.

This is a great idea! Imagine how much less clicking. You click on results, watch the races, analyze the results and the with one click "BAM" all your horses get shipped to the nearest farm and you don't need to ship them all individually or ship them.

I set their home location to the farm closest to the track when I enter them and then simperior automatically ships them after results. Occasionally (stewards cup, Dubai etc.) I’ll set it to ship them to the farm closest to their next race.

I hear ya, too much clicking for me. I have a hard enough time entering horses let alone adding a farm as the home location for every entry. Imagine if instead we could just click on a button on the results page that instead of saying ship to a home location it says ship to nearest farm. This is the way.

If this was ship to the nearest $20 farm I might agree with you but how many would use this knowing they might be shipping to a $200 farm rather than a $20 one a mile or two further away?

This would just make people try and get even closer to the track with farm they build

Spare no expense. Do you want the ease of click and done or do you want to pinch pennies? That’s the cost of doing business and taking the easy route.

With all the new yearling comments (fun and interesting) I felt I had to "move" my training barn to Excel (and it's a hassle, I don’t like it, I’m a phone player) in order to get some overview and not having to click through every horse to find the "longer career" ones for example.

Could optional columns be added to the custom barns with the new information (preferably) OR the original horse name/ID remain as a column even after one renames a horse (so that I can start naming my yearlings and still keep my neat sort order in Excel) (Edit: sort by dam solves this part obviously, vacation brain)?

[Autumn Blackmill]

Now that we have the new comments, I would love to see an overhaul of the "Ask the Bloodstock Agent" for racing stock and yearlings. Maybe have a few options? Like asking her specifically about the horses' future in the breeding shed or their heart. Just things that we can get for comments when we gallop, but maybe a little different. Like "This horse looks to be a game racer, I give you the go ahead on it." or "This horse could be a decent prospect for your breeding program is the price is right."

In that same vein I'd also love to be able to ask the vet to do a soundness check before I buy a horse. I really try to keep only sound and very sound horses, so buying can get annoying when I get several unsound in a row and have to turn around and try to sell them or just send to greener pastures/pensioning program.

How am I supposed to send new players horses to dominate new players if there’s no races? This is a selfish rant that would be meaningless to me any other year or time. But for now I want it…for the new players.

This just makes me sad. New players should have an even playing field, not a sucessful buddy that sends them to the top (IMO).

Lol I’m not sending out anything going to take anyone to the top. I’ve barely got my own shut sending me anywhere. I do believe some players really enjoy running a horse capable of posting speed figures about 80. There’s good experience to gain and increased interest in the game. I’m at a point I don’t want to grind races with allowance horses all the time. Someone else should get to enjoy them in races that go unfilled.

Does it have something to do with shipping?
