I like these changes but too go a little further could we have the highest speed figure also available to be displayed as a column in custom barns?

E.G We would be able to also sort our runners by highest highest speed figure to lowest highest speed figure..or reverse. I think nice for entering horses.

Thanks :-)

Since everyone's already all angst ridden now that gallop comments have been adjusted to be more accuate can we do broodmare comments too. All my paints seem to be blue hens these days and all my paints can't actually be blue hens.

I’m ready for the mare bsa adjustment as long as we don’t have to pay 10k on each again to find out. One day of mass bsa for free on all mares in game with new bsa threshold adjustments

+1, nay, +1000 on this!

Mares with comments already paid for should of course have them automatically updated.

I know the yearlings having gallop comments as well as the new stuff was a mistake but...I really like having both and I'd personally love to have that stay, especially if the thresholds have been adjusted to be more accurate to the horse's competitiveness.

Can comment be added as an optional column for our custom yearling barns? I would like to see the text of the comments in the grid.

This may be in the plans and just hasn't been gotten to yet because rattle snakes, but with the new gallop comments I think it would be useful if some of the information would populate the horses page, so someone didn't have to dig through the history to remember/make notes. Running style in particular seems something of use to have noted when looking a a horses page and entering

Also because I like generating angst I've been thinking more about updating gallop/broodmare comments and I wonder if there is a way to change the whole system so it updates automatically. I assume currently how things work is there are some number thresholds put in and then as horses evolve those number thresholds become less accurate so every so often they need to get shifted, at which point they are pretty out of wack so noticeable changes in gallop numbers happen and angst. What if instead of numbers they wee percentages, so they would automatically evolve as the horses do. To some level there might be more angst as things are always changing, but on the other hand, they would remain more accurate and there would be less dramatic changes and would also be less work if they updated automatically. Also these things regularly evolving would give people more incentive to recheck thus taking more money out of the game.

In life, as in the SIM, they will always knock you down, that is not really important, what you must learn is to get up with more strength.

Is the "Soundness" column supposed to be updating with the new comments?
I got several such as 'your run of the mill racehorse that can probably handle a normal schedule' or 'is tough as nails and can run more often. Try 7 to 9 races per year!' I'm assuming they would be rated "sound" and "very sound", but it's still marked as "unknown". I don't want to have to pay to make it show up if I get it for free, and I don't want to have to dig through the History either.
