 Too much travelling?
Does anyone agree there is too much travelling allowed in SO5? Not really realistic to have a horse campaigning in Canada one week, Aus the next, and then back to the UK. I try to have my horses run a proper season, aka a proper classic campaign in the UK. Can anything be done on this?

 Re: Too much travelling?
yes i noticed this as well but i think it okay because i enjoy winning all of the races i think it should cost a lot of money every time you travel from country to country but unsure this would make a difference.

 Re: Too much travelling?
it's not realistic but you have the choice to run a real campaign like you said. It's fun when you've got a monster horse to run it absolutely everywhere and destroy every horse.

 Re: Too much travelling?
It would be nice if they had a feature where you had to choose a base at the start of the game that gives you advantages and disadvantages. If you were playing the UK flat game picking say haydock as your base would make traveling easier to all tracks but say......... you couldn't build a starting stalls there (just an example off the top of my head). Just throwing it out there.
BTW i had the first 5 (five) winners at Fort Erie last Monday, sweet.

Be nice to see it included. Ubar had a few good ideas about this in another thread.

 Re: Too much travelling?
It isn't realistic but it is really up to the individual player to do what the like...
I do the same as you and try to make it as realistic as I can
