I feel like I'm just piling it on asking for more when so much has been given, but I was perusing AJ's barn looking forward to that 100.00 stakes winner or star broodie (ha ha) and wishing I could filter the horses. I was looking for a mare out of a particular stallion in the turf mile division and groaning about the time it was going to take to go thru the whole barn page by page. I dunno' possibly if it took less time searching it would encourage more people to look and buy. I usually go in there looking for something specific.

Just go to the search page and put AJ as owner,click female and add the sire. That should pull them all up for you.

One very small thing: When clicking the "ship to home location"-button on the results page, could it please _not_ go to the horse's page but return to results? That'd save a ton of clicking the back button.

I second this; I don't have a computer at home so most of my playing is on my Droid. I always have to open an extra window to look at results because once I ship a horse it goes to that horse's page, and my phone won't do the "back" option to go back to the day's results. So I have to have two windows open, one to ship horses and close, and one to stay on the results page.

Same for me with my iPhone. Fixing this feature would really help us SIMsters on the go! :)

I would love it if I could separate out my barn by race level. I think it would bowl down to a field like we already have for race type.

Levels would go along the type of a-barn (aweome) b-barn (for the midlevel moneymakers) and c-barn (for claimers). It would be useful for me since I like to sort out by types when racing. Also when I am going through on a cull and deciding who to sell, send to the shed, or give away.

I would absolutely love it if we could sort horses into different 'barns'.

I too would love to sort or rank horses by some sort of user-defined category. That might prevent me from confusing two horses and selling the wrong one for cheap again.

The barn level...

Sorting horses is a great idea, but in this 'fantasy' world we have here, it dictates that barns belong to Farm owners, and everyone else stables their horses at someone else's farms/barns.

And because race horses tend to float from one Farm/barn to another during a season, then all the Farms would have to have 3 barns to keep your horses sorted.

If any of you are trying to determine if your 3yo colt is going to have enough points to get into the Derby, I have just made your life easier: upon request, the Steward added a filter by distance/surface preference to the horse rankings, so now you can see the top 50 3yo dirt router Thoroughbreds, rather than having to sort through the sprinters in the full top 50 3yo Thoroughbreds list. Yay!
You're not getting a dead button...in fits of rage, John Slotman and Ara Davies and Jolene Danner would literally kill half their barns.

I would love it if we got to watch virtual videos of the races. Maybe not all of them because this would be too hard to do, ut maybe the Grade 1 races only.

Just so we're clear, it's SIMperior only as all horse-type things are, but it's also based on people's opinions. For instance, if Laura decided Night Fury was a turf sprinter and made him one, he'd show up on the turf sprinter list, which would clearly be a fail.
