The best jump up I have to date is this 2 yr old colt https://www.simhorseracing.com/horse.ph ... ID=1505331
Was a Stakes/LB from the get go, and now gallops Freak/peak. Fingers crossed he's a good one.

Ah, the joys of having a barn chock full of late developers. Sometimes you get nice surprises. Sometimes it's a lot of them.

Browncoat, Secondhand Heart, Stranger Inside, Shoot Politely, and Close to Heaven all improved from stakes to freak (Browncoat and Secondhand Heart were both freaks as yearlings before the adjustment).

Among my pacers, I also had Meadealex, Friar Pete and Laugh Track all go to freak.

Several more TBs went from allowance to stakes: Let the Night In, Dead Don't Die, Lies Told Louder, For the Glory and Hurts the Healing.

You spelled "I didn't bother to wait till the races got longer to race my filly who clearly wants longer and she "couldn't run".. but carry on.

The times I tried her longer than 1 1/16, her running lines said “tired late” or “asked but tired” which made me assume longer wasn’t something she wanted. I’m just over it, honestly. Not gonna run things that aren’t bringing me joy. It’s a game, and what’s done is done.

Heck, War Like Me wasn't even a freak until he was four. While I agree, most of the ones that really want to wait wind up being lesser than, there are always exceptions to the rule.

I'm not as sold on the distance, but I suspect she was just genuinely tired. She ran 2-4-6, and based on her week 6 race, looked like she needed a little more rest before her next race. Which, she should have theoretically gotten running Week 9, but you swam her twice during that extra week, including two days before the race. I would have liked to have seen what she would have done with the benefit of the extra week's rest without those swims. Hope she brings you joy in her next career.

One noteworthy change, Phoenix in Flames jumped from stake/LB to freak/peak. As others have said, now we see how he performs, lol.

I love this game!

I had my first EVER claimers improve! 3 fillies jumped to Productive. Not that I expect they'll do anything on the track, but they have avoided the GP button and may get a shot at being broodmares.
