It will probably be more effective just doing one forum thread post so I've condensed it to this one.
Lately all eyes have been on the new format and fixes and improvements. But for todays wish I'm going to go back to the windows client. A past improvement to it has been a radio button to "use same horses" as previous race. I'd like to take that one step further and have all the settings either start from a default setting or the last setting used. This would be an option to the user. I can only dream of the seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks? of time that will save some of us in training.

hey xray that really would save time . Great Idea!
At the top of the webpage below the main logo in the header area where it says "Horse Racing Game Points Being Earned:". It would be fun to have some more interesting statistics also shown in that area. Such as:
- horse x is on a 6 race winning streak.
- horse y just raced a personal best speed rating of x at so and so race
- horse z was claimed from yyy to zzz stables
- could also post some of the new horses of the day
- new trace record
- win milestones, xxx stables just had 100th win
- etc etc

#6. Have the Prebuilt-Races start on 'Trainer Tournament Races' not 'Pre-Built Races'. The former is most likely used at least 10 to 100 times more often. Therefore it would make sense to start there as the default instead and would save most extra clicks and time.

My wish for the past year has always been for HRF to implement the "Secret Box" in races......
1. Would like to see more Distances in Green and Blue Tourney's, more surfaces. For instance (Miler) 6.5f to 8f, and 10f to 13f. And the choice of more racetracks : like Pim, Crc,Bel, TP. Right now most of the 6f races are at Sar,and GP. Just because our horses have a Low BSR, does not mean they can't run if given the chance , at the optimal distance , surface , and Racetrack. Just think of the fun we could have . And HRF think of all the extra money you could make having 95% happy customers. Just a suggestion.
This idea has been bandied about many many times. In fact, when the Blue & Greens first came out, we did have more distances.
The simple fact of the matter is that they simply will not, and did not fill.
There are a lot of high bred quality players on here who just will not degrade themselves by entering a Blue or Green.
All of us lowly non quality players would LOVE to have more distance (And surface) options for them, but many of them don't fill as it is. If they added more distance they would become deader than dead.
One idea that some players had way back was rotating the distances, but honestly, I don't think that would work either.
I'm not so concerned about distances as the lack of track surfaces as lack of off tracks for greens and blues. If you have a horse that likes something other than fast, there are two choices and neither of them good. Most horses can't do Generals and not everybody wants to lose their horse in a claimer. But right now, I don't care. I got Past Performances on the new stable page! I'm a happy guy! :-)
Are needed badly, my thinking is along the lines of Jaycats, I don't know if they would fill. Hopefully HRF will address the problem sooner than later. I have horses that NEED off surfaces to be completive and some surfaces that I'm looking for are not even offered in insta's. I still say make all horses bred 140's, especially if there is no where to run the lowly BSR horses other than dirt fast, and turf firm or sand fast.
But , don't you think with all the new stables it might fly this time? It was just a thought. It seems that it would up the FUN factor for the smaller stables(poorer stables) and the host of new stables. Maybe it needs to be tested once again. We can always keep our fingers crossed.
We would really be in trouble , if in real life their were no races for the cheap slow horses. Thanks for your comment Jaycat!
