I know some people like it (and it's a valid feature that adds more realism) but is there any chance this could be made an option to select or deselect as I'm sure people other than me are still missing some races because of it. |

It is pain, it adds realism but is very time consuming. It would be handy if you could search just foreign races to speed up the process. |

Would also like to see this as an option. Realism is great but if I want to deal with the boring stuff I'll become one is real life

Agree. I love the feature for the realism but in playing the game or is a huge pain. There are some foreign races I forget about until they come up, by the time I've seen them it's too late to enter. This would be great in the day by day play though. |

Id rather the option of more bookable dates so you can future plan easier, give us 3-5 months scrollable option in stead of the current system. |

I agree that you need to see further into the future races calender, I'm always missing them lol plus when you have a few good ones I used to like to see who would win what reload and test some other horses out, but you cant now unless you dont race anything inbetween the entry date and save time. |

When the horse leaves for the race is irrelevant if they were previously entered is it not...? The problem is the two week cut off which rules us all out of foreign races we miss on the calendar. I think this either needs to be an option to turn on or off, or we should have to pay a 'supplementation' fee to enter in the race if we're late. |

Imo it should either be scrapped or we should have a calender that allows us to plot a horses declarations for the whole year (if we so wish). Would probably save a lot of time in the long run. For example any filly miler I have will go to the English & Irish Guineas, the fillies G1 at Ascot (which I have somehow completely forgot the name of?!) and then all the fillies miles races up until breeders cup time where I think about which foreign races to go to. It would be a lot easier if I could set that at the start of the season. |
