in Recent Winners

The number of victories and the owner's link appear, if you could change the link directed to a list of all the results to see which were the winners of that Owner

It would be helpful if you could sort the racing barn by stakes winners and maidens, maybe via the status drop down. Stakes winners because they always should run. Maidens because knowing their fitness level at a glance would be really nice.

I remember talking to someone else about this, but not sure if it made it onto this thread. It might be fun if the Jockey had another option, aside from equipment, to ask about preferred distance. Something like:

"This seems like a good distance for Horse."
"Horse could have used some more ground and had a nice gallop out!"
"Horse could benefit from a shorter distance, they were really struggling in the latter stages of the race."

Just a vague idea of where the horse might run best at within their division.

This is a two-fer!

1. Being able to have the “book this sire” button when hypomating active racing mares, instead of having to go back to their page and manually do it.

2. Being able to use the status filter in racing barns to filter out booked/not booked horses

Would it be possible to add a search function for set horse type in the horse search form? E.g I'd like to search for horses with horse type set as dirt sprinter with Monkey Brew as dam sire.

Monkey Brew was a versatile sire and dam sire of 918 horses, both sprinters, mid and routers.

I would really appreciate if we could get more claiming races for 3yo chasers. It's been bugging me for years, ever since I started breeding them very early on in my Sim career. I would love to run more of my crop but there simply is nowhere to go for the slightly lesser horse. Some weeks I can't find a single claiming race for them, and later when there are some 3yo+ races my youngsters don't seem to stick with the older horses quite yet.

I’m not sure if I asked for this already… but on a stallion’s studbook page can the best nicks table have a column for win%, and total from that cross in addition to winners and starters?

For example:

Beau

Best Nicks
Damsire • Total • Starters • Winners • Win%
Fearless Spirit • 232 • 101 • 70 • 69.3%

This might be a good change across the board for 3 y/os.

Give them extended cards of 3 y/o-only races that are season-long, but only for claimers. It would be a little easier on the young horses than 3/up races but you're risking the horse to enter.

Yea 3yo only claimers seem to stop surprisingly early in the year for thoroughbreds.
