Panther do you know anything about the horse database in so6?

No, I was only given a very basic test build with which to update the default UK flat schedule (as mentioned by Mark in his blog). Apart from that, I pretty much know as much about the game as everyone else! I know that you can change the number of horses in any given game at the outset (Mark mentioned this in the SO6 features list), but as to what the potential maximum numbers are, I really don't know.

Ok thanks, I will have to wait and see I guess

Is there any other changes to the schedules Panther?

There's just an 2014 update to the default UK flat schedule, as well as data updates to some of the showcases files. As it's the default schedule, it's designed to be a base that people can add extra races to, depending on their own preferences. So, it basically includes all of the UK's feature races (group races, listed races and major handicaps), along with only the most important of the overseas races. Conditions and dates etc. have been updated with the 2014 data.

The idea is that it can be customised. My own personal schedule will be quite different to the default schedule, but I needed to keep the default schedule as neutral as possible, as most people probably wouldn't want to play with the type of schedule that I prefer!
