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. this would be perfect. Means I could rush a season through really quickly too

 Re: Two Week Decs For Foreign Races
Ok we definitely need to get rid of the 2 week decs for international races. I have two fillies who are currently racing over 6f, one has just won a G2 over 5f 110y and the other has won a 6f G3 and G2 race. I had entered the second one into the Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh and the first into the Prix Morny, but now the one in the Phoenix stakes is injured and will be out for 7 weeks and it is too late to enter the other filly into the race! Meaning that, rather obviously, I can't have a runner at all at the Curragh. I love that race and I can't remember a single season (SO4 included) that I haven't had a runner in it, I'd happily pay an extortionate supplementation fee just to get into the race! Gutted! Just to make it horribly obvious:  Injured filly who was in the Phoenix:  Filly I can't enter:

It would be a lot easier if I could set that at the start of the season. I mentioned this in my ideas for SO4. I was disappointed when nothing was changed. Actually having the ability to save and then load a calendar of races, being able to schedule a horse on the first day of the season, would be EASILY the single most important and best thing I would want to see in a new version of the game. I haven't noticed much of a change in how I do the declerations page, but declaring horses once every month or so is very time consuming and is easily the part of the game I dislike the most. If this was the *only* change for SO6 I would be happy to buy SO6. Just for this one change.

Also, being able to import your save files into future games which I mentioned earlier about things we would like to see in SO5

 Re: Two Week Decs For Foreign Races
Hehe look at all the happy people. Although having the 2 week Dec was realistic (Quarantining of imported horses etc) it was infuriating at times
