Entry Suggestions |

After some revamping, Entry Suggestions have returned for everyone! While a toggle on/off option might be added in the future, for now they will show up for all players regardless of what upgrades you have purchased. Please keep in mind that these are just a suggestion and if you can see Hidden Stats and/or Performance Ratings, you will likely have better results by utilizing those tools instead. Potential Grade The first grade suggestion included is the Potential Grade. This is simply the grade a horse should do well in based upon their Potential. Potential is always the primary way to figure out what grade a horse is capable of entering, though some horses may end up in a higher or lower grade depending upon their feeding, training, and entering routine. The suggestion here generally aligns with the chart found on the Evaluating Talent page. You could consider this suggestion a target for your horse. Potential Grade is adjusted based on Peak Gene for 2 and 3 year olds as appropriate for age. If you use an item to increase a horse's Peak % but not their Peak Gene, you will likely want to enter higher than is suggested. You may also see "Highest Available" for 2 year olds, which indicates that the horse should do well in the highest available grade. These horses are typically series candidates and will do well in G1, but can enter G3 or G2 races when G1 aren't available. Potential Grade for 3 year olds assumes they are entering 3 year old only races. If entering against older horses, refer to their Performance Grade. Performance Grade The second grade suggestion given for a horse is called Performance Grade. This looks at race performance and suggests what grade is appropriate based upon their recent, non-Handily, Performance Ratings (PRs). As always, this suggestion resets in January due to the many things that can change as horses age up or perform off season training. Rather than reverting to the Potential suggestion as it used to in January, Performance Grade will not offer a suggestion until a horse has raced within the year. Once your horse has an eligible race under their hooves, you might notice an icon next to this suggestion. You will see the Underperforming icon () when a horse is running lower PRs than their Potential indicates they are capable of. You can click the icon to go directly to the Performance Ratings Handbook page to troubleshoot what might be hurting your horse's PR. On the other hand, you'll see the Overachieving icon () if your horse is running higher PRs than expected for their Potential. This is a great thing to see, but does mean you may need to enter the horse in a higher grade than Potential suggests to avoid getting Handily notes in future races. Considering the unpredictability of 2 year olds, they will never show Underperforming or Overperforming icons. You should pay more attention to Potential Grade than Performance Grade for them as PRs can fluctuate significantly from race to race. |

Wow, this is a really nice update! I have stats available and the under/overachieving icons will definitely help when I'm having stragglers not doing as well as they should. Thanks for this! |

Ran (#1255) Sheerwood Glade Posted On: 01/20/23 2:09 pm |
Oh this re-vamp should be very helpful! I was stressing out a bit at the removal of suggested grades because it can be a nice shorthand to help me figure out horses I am a little confused about. But this whole system seems much better. Thank you for all the work you do! |

Good newx |
Orinetta (#8262) Mount Hope Huron Park Posted On: 01/20/23 2:23 pm |
What a fantastic idea! I love the idea of being able to quickly see who is underperforming- sometimes it can be hard to mentally keep track when you have a lot of horses. Thank you! |

Cloud (#8567) Cloud Gate Racing Posted On: 01/20/23 2:54 pm |
I’m glad to have the suggested grade back and great to see the inclusions of several other new features as well. I think the under and over achieving editions are really interesting and I look forward to experiencing these new updates and seeing how my horses do. Thank you very much! |
Lark (#8052) Syzygy Rising Lodge Posted On: 01/20/23 3:01 pm |
Oh these are such great changes! I always glanced at suggested grade even if I knew it wasn't accurate, so it's nice to have something thatll be more accurate but let me keep that in my process. |
Roanqueen (#10175) Roan Hill Farm Posted On: 01/20/23 3:03 pm |
The under and over achieving icons will really help me. I'm very excited to see it |
Storm (#10225) Stormcloud Posted On: 01/20/23 3:07 pm |
Ooooh, I love this change! Thank you! The two suggestions showing will help me out a lot when deciding what races to enter. Having it alter as horses age will also be really useful to me whilst I figure the game out. The visual cue for under and over achieving will also be useful as a morale booster if they are doing well and so I can try look into what is going wrong if red. |
Rharfo (#8266) Kauri Hills New Zealand Posted On: 01/20/23 3:17 pm |
A great addition to the game. Something was taken but has been given back and advanced further. Looking forward to this. |
Vessel (#8849) Elken Ridge Estate Posted On: 01/20/23 3:44 pm |
These new icons will be a great help for sorting out horses who are just a bit all over the place. Look forward to seeing them in action once I start my entering spree in March A. |
Maylutka (#859) Felidae Station Posted On: 01/20/23 3:48 pm |
I like the new icons, and am looking forward to utilizing this revamp this year as I get back into active playing again! |

dragonfyre (#6286) BlackAsh Yard Posted On: 01/20/23 4:20 pm |
Thanks for the update! I really like the under/over inclusion, and I love the adaptations for 2/3yr olds, as I find those younger horses more difficult to judge. |

Oh good! Thank you so much for this update! I'm so glad entry suggestions are back as I was struggling a bit with race settings for my horses, but this should simplify things for me quite a bit, at least until I get a better hang of things. |

Loving the new icons! I'm always having issues with PR especially concerning lower level horses. Hoping this new change will help me out |
Mac (#8086) Pastaland Farms Posted On: 01/20/23 10:13 pm |
As a visual learner, I appreciate the return of the the entry suggestions! It's nice to use them along with the potential ranges on horses to figure out where they should be running best at. Also very excited for the under-performing/overachieving icons to come into play! I think those will be the most helpful to me particularly on my best horses. Thanks for all your hard work! |

Thanks very much for the great update! I love how everyone in the player base has been listened to, and their concerns have been taken on board, without it being 'it is what it is now'. I love how this game puts the players first - and uses magic to make it good for everyone! I'm looking forward to seeing my over and under achievers in the new game year, when they've completed their first race! |
