You now get an inbox alert every time your horse gets booted ONTO the AE list, AND when the horse is pulled in OFF the AE list. You can disable these alerts in your settings if you desired.
Its great that we now have this but can we please have a link in the inbox alert to either the race or the horse so we can go straight to it :)
The message says "... is entered in this race". The words "this race" is a link to the race.
Thanks Admin, I missed that :)

With the new notes for alert horses.. am I missing something … but when I am at a horses page and press the button to put it on alert…. Then I have to try to find it in my alert list.. to give it notes..

Be helpful and time saving .. if you put the notes in instantly at the time you put the horse on alert. - because after I’ve been finding I just have trouble finding then to put the notes in.

Unless I am missing something. This is otherwise a great feature..

Still confused with the part about, Improve Peak
In life when you are a child you have strength and so as the years go by depending on the lifestyle you lead, you can have an advanced age, and still be physically at a strong level, it could be said that this part is also Peak at the age of 1 year, it can be met, that even at the age of 5 these runners are fit to compete, and maintain a winning pace. Or maybe it's not like this.

I don't know if it was possible that between the age of 1 year and the end of three years they could still maintain LB, and Progressive, and then from 4 years of age be in their fullness that could last a few 3 or 4 years older, before beginning a decline in capacity

Not being very clear about the formation and performance of Peak at the age that he is present on the runners, in my very ignorant opinion on the subject, being able to have a Peak at the age of 1 year is a loss in the runner Because he is like an old man, premature, I could practically say he died at birth, or he is close to dying at birth

I really don't know how this part works in runners, I just hope one day I can understand it and know that I can trust and be calm with my yearlings, or 2-year-old children in their development

I don't think of peak as being at the absolute top, but instead being close to the top (maybe 90%+). So a 1yo who is at his peak may not be at 100% of his maximum ability and may still have room to improve.

There is also no reason a horse cannot be at peak at 1yo and still at peak at 9yo. Perhaps they hit their absolute peak at age 4, but from there they regress so slowly that they are close to their peak forever. If they are at 90% of their peak at age 1, 100% of their peak at age 4, then 90% of their peak at age 9, that is still a good situation.

I would rather have a 1yo who is a late bloomer than a peak - if they have the same gallop comment - because the late bloomer is further from his peak and so has more room to improve. But I don't consider the early peak to be a lost year, because it is not certain that horses only peak for a short time. And in some divisions, all of the major races are for 2yos and 3yos (for example middle-distance Quarter Horses) so having a horse who doesn't peak until he is 4 years old is a big negative.

Certainly for some divisions it is good, as you have said.

Could we please have a separate tab for barrier trials on a horse's page? It bugs me seeing barrier trial results in the actual results

I love that the time is now listed when a stallion is extended before pensioning! Not sure how new that is, though I don't recall seeing it on my stud who was pensioned this week. It's a lovely addition nonetheless

Its come up before from people not receiving alerts on their pensioning stallions. I believe you have to allow horse injury notifications in your alerts or something like that?

when we search on 'Buy/lease horses', and select 'game owned', could we have an option for 'not pensioned'?

The date has always been there but the time was added a couple of hours ago.

Under Player Settings, it would be desirable if "Scratched Horse" was a Private Message Me option (it is an option under Notifications but I do not use Notifications).
