I think this game would be unprecedented if we not only could put our training in for each horse but what if we not only did that but also were able to control our horses in each race that they run in. (just like in jockey tournaments). I know that the software would have to be upgraded but doing this would elimate people worrying about whether your horse will run a fast pace or a slow one or on rail or outside. I also know that not everyone could be available to ride in every race(we all have real busy lives lmao) but when you are not available to control in a specific race , thats when the computer does it just like it does now.

sounds good but.....

Sounds good but you would never get the 11 or so people in a race to be all online at the same time to jockey their own horses in the race...

I agree with viking

Also, it would be a blocking nightmare. LOL

Yeah it would probably be difficult to get people on at the same time ---but it sholud be just like real racing---schedule your races correctly and hoppefully everyone would be able to get in on it. The computer would control whoever is not on at the time of the race --thats where your Jockey instruction would come into play. It can be done it is just a matter of software.

Too easily manipulated....

If someone was to enter 2 horses in the same race they could ride the slower one and block for the faster one.. Not to mention that big stables would be put at a disadvantage because there is no way to jockey multiple races ran at the same time. Maybe HRF could incorporate trainer horses into the jockey game, but IMHO bringing the jockey game into the training game is not a good idea... As it is the AI jockeys are stupid, but they are ALL stupid so that makes it a fair even field.

The only thing I would say as for multiple horses in each race. The stable owner would have to decide which horse he wants to ride and the other horse he would give JI to and the computer would run the horse with his JI"s. As per you sayin that they could block for the other horses , well it would be up to the other riders in the race to look and see if someone has multiple horses and to know which horses they are and then you jockey just as you would in a Jockey tournament.
Because even in jockey tournaments they are constantly trying to block you. It also would be just like real racing in the fact that when a trainer puts a rabbit horse in the race to ensure a fast pace for his closer. It is the same concept. If you are into the game as much of us are. You would see when someone has 2 or more horses in the race then you know you need be aware of that fact.
