Re: Two Small Things
Maybe because 'recently modified' in the drop down list as well, so it's not just breeds. I'd like 'not pensioned' and 'not retired' to be added as well. Might also be fun to have 'has headshot' too

Re: Two Small Things
I would love to see the % of horses that prefer mud be more proportional to the % of races on off tracks.
I am sure I am not alone in feeling a sense of dread when I see a horse prefers mud. While I admittedly don't know exactly how surface preference is determined my guess is its fairly random. Looking at my racing barn I currently have 40 horses with no preference, 42 that prefer a dry track and 49 that prefer a muddy track. So fairly evenly split with over 1/3 of my horses preferring a muddy track. But off track races are only a small subset of races, so I often struggle to find off track races for my prefer mud horses. And when I do find them given how many prefer mud horses I have I tend to have to run my horses in the same race more often than I would prefer. Also while I haven't done an extensive dive into this I wonder if the disproportionate number of horses that prefer mud to mud races leads to said races winding up with bigger fields. As a completely unscientific n = 1 when entering my 2yo filly paint sprint maidens I couldn't help but notice that the 2 off track aces on W3D6 had fields of around 10 the one dry maiden race had a field of 4. I'm not saying prefer mud horses should be eliminated but if they were a smaller percentage of horses more proportionate with the number of off track races available perhaps some of these pressures could be relieved.
At the very least it would be helpful if when sorting by track condition we had an option for all off tracks rather than just the separate options of good, sloppy, etc.

Re: Two Small Things
I would like to see a make offer button on the sale page because I think a lot of people would sell more horses that way. Just a thought.

Re: Two Small Things
OMG, yes. SO many mudders in my barn.... (and it seems all my decent horses are mudders), and there are so few races for them!Tammy Stawicki wrote: ↑1 month ago I would love to see the % of horses that prefer mud be more proportional to the % of races on off tracks.

Re: Two Small Things
I've been thinking that maybe, just maybe! We could have some sort of late scratch option. Maybe even with a 500 sim dollar "fine"?

Re: Two Small Things
I'd like to be able to lease 2 y/o horses for 4 seasons until they're 5 (4 seasons => 2, 3, 4, 5) Right now the max lease period is until the end of their 4 y/o season if you lease them at 2.
As someone who both leases runners to new people and also leases the odd runner from better stables, I want all the leases to go to 5 if both sides agree. Instead, everyone has to be on the ball and realize that the lease is ending at 4 and cancel/re-issue the lease to keep it going which is very fiddly.

Re: Two Small Things
I think it would be cool if the silks were shown in the race, just like in real life, with the name, weight etc of the jockey and the silks.

Re: Two Small Things
For the horse rankings, could we add a category for Active G1 wins and Lifetime G1 wins? I'm curious to see that information, but I also think it would be a handy filter for end of year and hall of fame nominations/voting.

It'd be cool if the headshots in the Edge linked to the horses rather than the purchase form!
