You can edit the name of any horse in-game in SO7, including ones that are not your own, as long as you do it before the horse has run. So, if you select any horse in the yearlings list, then click on its name, you can change it to whatever you choose, as long as it's not a name that already exists in the database (in which case it won't complete the switch).

Thanks! I made a bunch of changes to the yearlings list in a betting mode game.

Unfortunately, it looks like the changes only apply to that one game.

Is there a way to re-use the revised yearling list or duplicate it so I don't have to re-enter all the changes a second time if I want to use them in another game?

Thank you!

In SO7 I've taken to naming 2YO as they appear as unraced on the daily racecards……….Its a hell of a lot of work though.....

Thanks!

I'm on to the second season now, and I see my yearlings starting to run as 2YOs. For me, that adds a lot to the game, so it was worth the effort. Too bad I can't re-use them. - (GS63) - I agree, its a shame that doesn't work, but I agree that naming horses yourself adds to the game hugely and stops silly horse names like "Dobbin" or "Dave's Chippy" winning the Epsom Derby!

I saw that names could also be changed in the "Horses" menu for some of the horses - even some that appear to have run races already. Would that cause problems? (GS63) - I didn't realise that you could do that myself, I'll try it. I have no idea if that would cause issues later down the line or not...

It seems as though changes can be made from the "Horses" menu only for 2YOs who've run for the first time in the current season. (GS63) - Again, I haven't tried this (likely because I've already renamed them as an unraced 2YO)

I'll look for opportunities on the daily cards as you said also, thank you. (GS63) - no worries, thanks for your input too, I've learned something new myself!
