"Leasing stats" (like Trainer and Breeder stats) for the horses we lease out.

This should have an option to block it (maybe a checkbox or radio button on the settings page?)

I know this will really annoy some people with OCD who will be bothered by rows of 0's if they don't have a leasing program.

Not really a small thing but showing things like jogs and gallops on the training chart would be super helpful.

This might be here already but I would LOVE it if chaser gallops and flat gallops stayed separate. That way you wouldn’t ‘lose’ the flat gallop when you taught a horse to jump, or lose the jump gallop if you galloped on the flat. With the new RL studs so versatile, it’s getting really confusing now I have a bundle of flat and chase types. It’s separate for broodmares, so it would be really helpful if it could be separate for gallops too.

Hate this. In the case of a sire that can do Chase and Flat, the chase foals who gallop different career or claimer as youngsters eventually have those awful stats fall off the stallion once the train over jumps. Keeping them on there permanently would stink.

But now those stallions are losing allowance and better gallops when those horses train over fences, and ends up as a chase claimer when the owner says ‘whelp guess it can’t jump’ and retires it.

Perhaps the answer is to keep only the most recent gallop/train over fences for the stallion stats, but allow us to see both stats in the horse sales pages or training/racing barns. Or make it a custom barn only option so it’s a GP perk?

It's not really a "small" thing but it would be good if the Steward would commit to tearing down how she tracks stallion "stats" and re-doing them in the future.

So, we can see stats by distance category and breed (for cross-breeding and flat/chasing). With the breed/distance categories coded into the game the way they are, and many stallions having some degree of versatility, one set of stats doesn't work.

I like that we now have barrier trials in Europe, but please, can we have barrier trials for steeplechasers ?

Any chance of getting a “breed all” button on the bookings page? 😅

Could have it use selected genders (a paying the GP if required), and assign the “select a name later” option… 😅🙃 it would obviously have to skip stallions who aren’t available, and possibly skip GP/S$ stallions.

Now that the Breeders Cup has added two qualifying races in South Korea, can we get a track there, please?

Suggestion for the "auto-ship to farm after a race' feature. Instead of having it ship to the nearest farm, would it be possible to change this to ship to a random farm that's located within 100 miles of the track? I think that spreading these horses around would be more fair to farm owners, and I'm also sure the intent isn't to grant an essential monopoly to just a single farm per track.

As someone that had someone make a farm that little bit closer to a track than mine I like this idea. Though I might go with something closer than 100.

+1 but I would say any track that is within $100 (or $200 if first class) shipping cost - not sure the exact distance that is

Random between any farm with $100/$200 shipping makes sense as well.

If I choose to ship to the nearest farm that is what I want, not a farm potentially 100
