You know what would be AMAZING?? Being able to book and pay for a breeding and it would hold the spot for us!

Well it’s a way to avoid boarding fees and insurance which I think the game sees going in the wrong direction..


One thing I noticed just looking at an aqueduct chart is that prize pools went to 6 places .. 6th place got 3% and first got 55% which is more than we have but I think overall it’s a good idea because it should cause a few more races to fill and a 15,000 race finishing 6th would net 450 which at least covers shipping costs pretty much and I think the more places pay the more players get something and the more that get pay the more stay..

I read this entire thread today on my break and it was fun reading all the ideas getting implemented so fast (I did not read the dates of said comments so all this happened in my reality all at once), was a ton of good ideas, I'm going to go hit some buttons.

In buy horses/sale page when you 1st enter there should be no horses showing. You can select your interest 1st and quickly minimize wait time to load

For sponsored races, we can currently restrict them to player status New/Junior/Intermediate. Would it be possible to get another restriction which would open it up to all 3? So a race that's targeted at new-ish players in general, but not hyper targeting just one of those groups. Looking to sponsor a series of races for that cohort.

Love this idea.

I'd really like it if we could have an extra week of races open at all times, since its pretty common for people to alternate between 2 weeks rest and 3 weeks rest for their horses, it makes it difficult to remember which horses are waiting for that race entry when you want to opt for a 3 week break if you run a medium to large operation...could go for workouts too

I mentioned this in one of my articles, but I think it would be neat if the horse whose win got you a milestone victory (100 wins, 5,000 wins, etc.) could have their winning race linked to in your trophy room like all the other types of trophies do.

(if there's a way to do this that I just don't know about, let me know)
But under "Status" in all barns, a "For Sale" filter would be really nice. That way you could isolate horses whom you want to mass-select and sell/edit the price on.

I'd love if on the search page we could add 'anywhere in pedigree: [insert horse name]' under where you can search sire, dam, dam sire, etc. It'd be really convenient when searching your own horses!

I love the "stakes winner" "stakes producer" tags on horse pages.

I don't know if this is possible but it would be awesome if we could get additional words added such as "multiple" "graded" "G1" etc.

I'd love to see "winner" too. Or "multiple stakes/graded stakes/ect" winner like Equibase does. I'm sure that'd be complicated to add since it'd be so many more horses than stakes winners or producers (at least I assume, I have a very basic understanding of code).
