Not sure if this is possible, but with the growing tri distance numbers in mixers, I’d love a way when setting the horse type filter to be able to filter those multi distanced horses out. So basically being able to show only those that are specialist at 1 distance and be able to filter out those that have 2-3 distance categories. Having the ability to show just those that have multiple distances would be cool too as well, but I have no clue if that’s possible

I wish we simply had a tridistance horse type option. While there are some horses that truly are great at producing offspring at any distance my versatile stallions seem to have a top distance where they A+ nick and then they A nick at the others. So I currently just have them set at all 3 distances, because its the only way to designate they have multidistance capabilities, but as you're mentioning its hard for someone looking for a multidistance horse to find them unless they sit and compare all 3 studbooks, and at the same time they aren't the best option for someone looking for a single distance at their nontop distance so they are also kind of cluttering up those studbooks. If I could just set them as their preferred distance and multidistance they would be much more accurately categorized and it would be easier for people to find stallions for what they want.

Ooo, I like that idea better, would probably be easier for them to code as well to just have a tri distance as a horse type. Would keep them out of the divisions they aren’t too strong in which would be a huge bonus so if someone isn’t familiar with that particular horse and doesn’t dig too deep beyond looking at the stats it can keep players from breeding mares to stallions that aren’t actually too good at the distance. A lot of the multi distanced stallions don’t produce good “specialist” except when it comes to their original distance, so their stats are skewed making them look like good stallions stat wise when listed in other divisions. Like Eventuality for example, he produces great routers, but can’t quite hold his own with a specialized sprint or mid mare, for a tri distanced mare though he’s a good option especially if that mare is strong as a sprint and mid and weaker as a router.

Some horses are only dual distance though, so still going to have a confusion problem

I wish we could clean up the stud book. Currently there are a large number of multi-listed stallions for all divisions that don't show an ability or breeding for many of the categories. It takes too much time to sort them out so I usually use the gamepoint stallions that I trust better. Maybe we could limit the categories to TWO and add a 'versatility' category too. Then , for example, a stud can be listed 'dirt route' and 'versatile' or whatever two categories the owner wants.

Sorry - - two suggestions in one day. Is that allowed ???
We need to be able to get the 'heart' score for our broodmares and even for horses currently racing. Otherwise it is going to take YEARS before we can use that info to improve our foals.

In horse rankings, the breed "thoroughbred" should exclude steeplechasers because steeplechasers have their own breed category.

I think the Steward said starting next year we'll be getting the heart comment on the 2yo and up racers too - unless by that she meant "the yearlings that got the first round of comments will then be 2yos" but that isn't how I interpreted it.

Could we get the option to add just a regular message when gifting someone game points, so we could tell them why we are gifting said points

With the new heart comment, would it be possible to mass vet a barn?

You can mass vet both the racing and training barn under horse actions. Just not the breeding barn

Well, that needs to be fixed, lol. If I can vet them individually, why shouldn’t I be able to do it en masse?

Because that’s a lot of GP refunds Emily would have to deal with when someone tells her they made a mistake and Misclicked.

I have been waiting for mass-BSA forever. End of season I am pushing the 10k button 100 times in a row.

Jo Ferris wrote: 1 year ago Is it known there's no 3yo Arabian router stakes in week 4? There's a gap from Week 3-6 to 5-6 with no stakes races (there is one sponsored for 5-3 but obviously not on the normal schedule). Didn't notice till I had one of my 3yos blow everyone out of the water in her debut, only to find there's no stakes to run her in for her next start :lol:

Any chance we could add a stakes or two to the schedule for next season and beyond? Or move a race or two so the stakes are more spread out, obviously Arabs are one of the smallest divisions in the game so I understand not wanting to add more stakes that may not draw many entries. Maybe something like:
W4D3 50k Listed 3yo 1 1/4mi Tulsa Park - 1 for colts, Stuffed Pepper Stakes, 1 for fillies Song of the Sheikh Stakes
W5D3 50k Listed 3yo 1 1/2mi Endurance Raceway - 1 for colts, Hamdan Stakes, 1 for fillies Mahtab Stakes
Or
maybe move the stakes currently on W3D6 to W4D3 and the stakes currently W5D6 back to W5D3
Any chance this could be implemented next year?
