Post Not exactly bugs
More like niggles which annoy me. What do others think?

Jockey feedback is awful. A horse can be "trip suited perfectly" and "didn't have the pace for most of the race ran well considering" in the same race. A horse that has led most of the way can also have the "didn't have the pace" comment.

A horse can pass half a dozen in the last 100 yds and finish 4th or 5th and the jockey will say try a furlong shorter next time. Is wrong feedback there to mislead us players as part of the game?

Too many horses have "Not settle" or "ran too freely" specially mares. Often they have a blue dot as well which is a bit odd. Either add equipment like ear plugs or different bridles that can help setle them or have fewer horses with these traits. It seems like half the horses have this problem.

I disagree, I think the jockey feedback is improved massively. I just ran a horse who prefers 1m2f, had only ever run over 1m in the oaks and it won and the jockey feedback was "The pace of the race helped the horse stay the trip, will be better over a shorter trip". The improved detail is really good

Remember the better the jockey, the better the feedback. Use cheap jocks or apprentices and the tactics and feedback will be poorer than with the better jockeys.
