I'm team adjust bloodstock agent/hypos. While I don't know if the coding is feasible I also like the idea of making all these things simply autoupdate. So instead of programing them to certain raw talent numbers that overtime will get off kilter and require kind of big one time adjustments and the angst that comes with them program them to percents, so as horses generally gradually improve they will gradually adjust. And if things were that way some people may more regularly check blood stock agent/hypo grades and that would take more money/game points out of the game. win/win

I agree with all of this, I would MUCH rather find out that the blue hen I retired last year is actually formidable so I don't send her to A- hypos for 50K+ for multiple years to get solid progressive. If I have a more realistic idea of her level/hypos, I will allocate my breeding funds more appropriately. Through lots of trial and error I've been able to establish which of my hens/stars produce like hens/stars but I'd rather 'take a hit' aka have more realistic information than have inflated levels.

Now I don't think only 10-20 mares in the entire game should be blue hens, but I definitely think there are too many.

It needs to be in proportion. If the number of freaks and stakes gallops have been reduced then the number of hens and stars should reduce too.
I don't expect them to produce freaks every year but I also don't expect them to never produce above productive.

The hypo's should reduce too.

What if there were no ratings or comments at all?
You had to figure out what you had by breeding, training and racing, just as in real life.
Would that be such a bad thing?

Maybe this is already there and I just miss it, but can we denote filly races in the pps? That is, some fillies that enter with colts are hard to determine if they have run against the boys prior unless a high profile race type.

I think I have found a work around, but if you do a search on yourself and then sort by sire, maybe can also do age for foals/training barn...also I think you can just list your horses for a gajillion dollars and have the same info if wanted and maybe make an otherwise unknown sale for a gajillion sim dollars.

I get the need for sim to need to make game points some places, but the attraction of custom barns is more than just assorting buy sires, right (i wouldn't know, I don't have them unfortunately) More specifically, is that the selling point? if so, I get it, but maybe it isn't worth that price to see those sires, eventually in my smaller barn, I kind of know most already.

In the Training chart view, it could be useful to have the option to not only look at the 2 week plan, but also the last 2 weeks training/races. Could help some poor horse from getting over worked.

I would love to have an option in settings to choose whether to display distances in miles, furlongs or metres. Converting distances like 1 5/16 miles into furlongs always makes my brain hurt lol (10.5 furlongs or 2200 metres in case anyone was wondering).
