You cannot use ‘ or indeed any characters in horse names. Leon is the only answer. Or if you have them import the unraced 2yo and rename.

Also my horse Greylami Mossachi - it says it has already been uploaded - is there anyway to check if I have used the name before - it appears I didn't use it last season and I doubt I would have had that breeding cross any further back than last season.

Yeah it is a totally different horse than the 2yo from last season. Oh well.

I will wait for Leon about the other two horses.
Thanks Gray.

Doug its the apostrophe mark !

I had odd horses like "Doctor's XXXX" but if you just remove the mark by renaming the horse file in xxxx/Documents/S06/exports/horses and save, then you can upload.

There can't be any apostrophe's in a horse name. The SO race kit generates some text files that we use to run the league and they get corrupted if horses have aprostophes in them

Greylami Mossachi was a year old last season.

I can changge some things manually to allow horses in but they need to be names from previous SO versions
