I absolutely love the game as is...But I know that Em is always making it better. How difficult would it be to have Beyer type numbers available? Now that race times are reflective of the race and can be compared, I would assume that this would be possible.

Would this be a nigthmare to initiate...what do you all think would this be a helpful tool if it could be done?

Hi my name is Rob and I am addicted to the Sim...admitting it is the first step!

Alysse sometimes I wonder how I get through the day without hurting myself.... The funny thing is that I was just looking at a Breyer Horse Box, from my childhood an hous ago.. It must have taken over my brain...

Nonetheless.... How about Beyer speed figures!

For me, it's between the horse Limehouse and the band Lifehouse.

Apparently Beyer is the American version of Timeform (tho Beyer originated first, I gather). The 'conversion' tends to be Timeform minus 10-12 = Beyer.

Ah, thanks Rayne, wouldnt it be cool for all the horses to get a timeform rating at the end of there career, or only the best horses?

That's actually kind of depressing. At least now we can *sort of* convince ourselves that our bad horses aren't that bad. But how do you argue with a 50 speed figure? :P

Thank god! I thought I was the only one there!

I also do something with the initials "DRF" but I can't remember what I confuse them with...
