On the alerts page would it be possible to add a section for "Stallions to be pensioned in the next 72 hours" ?

Or if we have a stallion in our Alerts who is being pensioned, can we get a message?

Also, as someone who tries to breed sound horses, being able to pay the bloodstock agent to see what the soundness is for a mare/stallion before buying/breeding would be great.

I'd like it if our grade 3 and grade 2 wins were counted alongside the grade 1 wins in the trainer stats

Yes, seconded. I want to see it inherit the dams type too. You can always set more later
This is done; ALL foals inherit the dam.

Laura Ferguson wrote: 2 years ago I'd love it if the news feed could be decluttered so that only horses where the $50,000 fee is paid to become a stallion show up on the feed as retired. If you look at the news feed right now, there's a ton of retired horses in the feed, but the majority of them are then promptly pensioned. It makes it hard to find the real news, including things like a stallion has only 72 hours left for breeding before pensioning, when a trainer mass batches a bunch of horses for retirement.
This has been cleared up for going forward; not quite exactly Laura's request but the news feed should show a lot less "boring" info now.

Since I have a relatively small stable, I never check "results". I watch every race on the viewer (and yes, I've been known to cheer my horses on). I probably said this before but I wonder if the races could look a little more realistic....with turns & maybe horses moving inside or outside & maybe some colors on the riders.
It probably takes a lot of work & there's probably not a big demand for such. But I'll keep bringing it up every few years or so.
It's better to have it & not need it than to need it & not have it.

This change will greatly impact how I play the game (see below). Is there any possible way that one could have an option to make all foals bred as Unspecified Type (as before this change)?

After Festivus, I change the type of my yearlings for only the yearlings that had successful gallops. So rather than focusing on my many breeding failures, I positively reinforce each success when I change their type. Most of these horses remain as Unspecified Type unless a subsequent gallop is successful. In Week 1 and Week 9, I give away many of my Peak Unspecified racehorses. When I was a new player, I received many "give away" horses. So I am "paying forward" my debt to these players -- more positive reinforcement.

With this enacted change, Festivus would become a total nightmare. I would need to change my many yearling failures to Unspecified Type. So i would get a strong reminder on how terrible I am at breeding. It is doubtful that I could cope with so much negative reinforcement in a game that I play for fun. So I would end up dramatically changing how I play the game.

Love the new farm page.

Pretty please add a drop-down for week to the stakes schedule page.

When you get a board cost change alert, can you get a link in the message that brings you to the farm so you can move your horses if you want to?
