I am not one who is good with changes. I was frustrated as hell the first day and told mod I give up...lol. I even posted a Frustrated thread where I was doing a little whining. As I have spent time this week in the new community, I finally began understanding most things. I am beginning to really like some of the new features. You can ram on me for being a cheerleader but I am going to list a few things I like so far.
1) Stables and stat/info page for each horse-I like that they added the active or tournament under the horses name. As far as the stable pages, I do like that you can see your horses whole career in front of you without have to click on anything. It is great to see how bad of a trainer I have been for some of my horses. I also like that you can get performance reports, lasix and whatever that horse needs al from the same page. I like that I can concentrate on that one horse and what it needs.
2) Speed- I have noticed that the site has gotten much faster since day one at least for me.
3) Actual Stable- the day when Elmer Fudd went on a killing spree I noticed that once you get under 25 horses your stable isnt near as nice.....lol.
4) I like being able to go visit Bd Silver at the new Breeding shed. He must not be well liked by the other horses though as their are only a few that run onto the screen where he is.....lol. He must be a real bad azz out there.
5) I like the information line running at the top of the page updating who recently has won something.
6) I like the realism. I havent seen any of my horse win for a few days so that seems to be working right.
*If you have some things you like, feel free to post. If you have issues, there are plenty other threads I have seen to post those. I am trying to keep this one a positive thread. We all are letting puddles know about certain issues which is a good thing. It might just as productive to let them know what we like as well.
*There are still some bugs to work out but it seems as if puddles is in the forums responding to those issues.

When you go to your retired horses page, left click the picture and move your mouse. It is a lot of fun to rotate the field and see the other horse run all over and rare up. If you are called a cheerleader Bigdog just ignore them.
I got a 125.6 after the update so the sheds not totally broken. I also love the new stable page.

The cost & expected poor results are keeping me from breeding. Its so broken I am not even bothering to breed 2 horses so I can raise my stable to 25 horses so I can enter some platinum tourneys.
Bigdog could never be labeled a cheerleader. Now Kingsport on the other hand is another story. If you look real close at Puddles eyes, you can see the tip of Kingsports nose, working its way up higher.

Blasphemy!

Bigdog is clearly trouble maker.
*3.5 just doesn't cut it.
*Jaycat is right...I am a trouble maker!

Every horse bred so far is under a 104 and most are in the 90's. It serves no purpose to hand out so many bad horses that will never be raced. I guess they like having empty general tourneys.
