Another poster posted about if anyone knew how the new community horses were running, which prompted me to find out. So I looked under "List Horses" to find out which horses have not run yet. Next I thought I would run a race a put the horses in that have not run. I immediately picked out the cool names to run:
Secretary of War
Big Game Hunter
Hard Eight
Private Eye
Double O Seven
But they were no where to be found under horse selection. I tried both 2 yr old races and races for 3+, but those horses didn't show. I did not bother to check the rest. Please Advice
On another but similar note, Under horse selection, when you switch to see race records the stats are distorted and all are not viewable because some horse have run in the 100s of races. It throws off the columns. Perhaps another reason to allow past performance deletions.
Thanks for listning.

hmmm, I am not able to replicate you issue with not being able to select the horses....I can select all and run them in private mode....and they all have run for me in community mode too....
I am not sure maybe you can send something to support@horseracegame.com and they can take a look, they know a lot more then I do about the game
Its not that I can't select them, it's that they're not there for me to select. Do you have those horses I mentioned available to run in races?
~~~~~~~~
May they all come home safely!!!
yes I do, hmmm?
Hmmm, that sucks!
Am I the only one?

May they all come home safely!!!
again I would recommend emailing support@horseracegame.com
I noticed that you have also sent an email to support, which was the right thing to do. The issue with the missing race horses is something we are now in the process of testing to see if we can replicate the problem inside our horse racing game. Expect to hear back from support within the next couple of days on this issue.
Pertaining to the other issue referencing the past performance history on each horse becoming too large, we are also in the process of working out a solution for that, as well. We agree that after a certain number of races, some of the past performance lines should be able to be deleted at will by our horse racing game players.
Thanks Mike!
I know you guys are busy on different phases of the game and community, so I appreciate it when you all take the time to answer questions and let us know whats happening.

There are two main reasons why horses might not show up in the list to pick from:
1) Race gender criteria is set to Fillies & Mares, which would eliminate males.
2) Race is on the turf, and in the "Choose From Eligible Horses" panel you have "Turf Horses" selected, which would leave out horses that specialize on dirt or synthetic surfaces.
You can override #2 by telling it to select from all horses. But you cannot override #1 if the race is for females only.
