Shipping goes mad!

[Ara Davies]

Thanks a lot!!! Elusive Pegasus is now at a New York track and is convinced this means he has a shot to win the Belmont again!! I even told the stupid horse it's the wrong time of year but he won't shut up about the mile and a half! grrrr

[John Slotmon]

I think the bigger issue with Something Better is that he hasn't been retired.

[Rebecca Cass]

Wow I get online today and see what seems like half of my horses shipped all over the place, yikes! Didn't know it would effect my long since retired ones too, wow.

lol...THEN is at futurity park, i guess all the breeding has made him delirious and now he thinks he's a baby 2 yr old ready to race again! lol.

[Megan Grant]

I was a little concerned at first, but now that I know everything will be righted (eventually) I find the whole thing rather amusing.

I was planning to do some breeding in the meantime but I've realized I don't want a bunch of foals born and boarded at racetracks.

[Charles Bunbury]

not sure if ALL horses are being shipped back to their starting point or not...i was looking to see if certain horses were retired to stud duty yet...and looked up SOMETHING BETTER, he was shipped to lexington racecourse this morning, but he didn't make his first start there...

He did for the current owner
The previous/original owner is no longer in the game.

[Beathan Vale]

Wow --

I had my best day of racing, with earnings of more than $250k, putting me well over $300k for the break -- and now my stir-crazy horses have reduced my bank account to $37. LOL

Looks like field straw feed for the moment.

In the meantime, here is something to pass the time.

[Rebecca Rose Hepburn]

Not sure if this will be helpful or not, but I noticed another odd thing. I hadn't noticed that there was a problem this morning so I shipped Much Like Falling to Dubai, but the plane must have changed course after take off becuase it shipped him to Inglewood right afterwards. I don't know if the SIM has always had the ability to change destination after shipping has started or if this is something else that has broken, so I figured I'd mention it.

[Karie McBrian]

I bred a couple to Start of the End to then realize I got babies bred in Chile!
YIKES!

The shipping glitch has been fixed and the money refunded to your accounts. This was a very tricky and complex glitch, and we're sorry for any inconvenience that it caused. Because so many horses were affected, we had to make sure that the fix would actually work instead of going about it haphazardly!

There is both good news and bad news now. The bad news is that some horses could not be fixed, either because they didn't have a location history before last night or because the name of the farm they were at changed in the last few weeks - these were almost exclusively older mares or stallions around before Year 16.

The good news is that shipping is going to be free for everyone during the break, which has been extended by one day. Foals are now due on July 26th at noon Pacific instead of July 25th.

[Ara Davies]

LOL, I now have to ship:

Banner, Canoe, Canute, Canyon, Coast, Conduit, Consort, Contest, Elusive Pegasus, Gift, Jet-Ski, Look Radiant, Lyrical, Pathfinder, War Song, Wish, and Zip.

I have elected to let Sports Jersey remain at Arcadia Park permanently where he has been installed as the resident retiree for the little kids to visit. He loves that.

[Tanitha Starlet]

Thanks on the free shipping, and getting the bug fixed so quickly.

Was energy refunded at all? Or are the horses who got a long usa -> europe -> usa round trip, best to wait a extra week to run. ?

Thanks.

[Lucas Davenport]

Congratulations to Em and her team on a well done recovery. Don't think you could have done any better. I think I picked up on it somewhere there that you don't drink, but maybe heading out for a vacation after an event like that you will reconsider! <BG> I'll have one for you just in case you don't change your mind. Best!

[Fabio Socarraz]

Em,
Thank you for being calm and fixing the shipping bug. Even though I was freakin out you were calm and fixed it. You handled it in a professional way and I thank you.
Good work.
