Oh thank you!
I also wish jockey mode had a little more depth to it, but I know that's probably not possible yet. I play a game called Champion Racer (used to be G1 Jockey) and the HUD on that during a race is awesome. The bars for "potential" (juice for the final straight) and stamina are different, so you can see if your horse is getting tired but sometimes you can still pull off a win if you build potential up a lot. You can also see if the horse is settled or annoyed or eager to go or if it's upset about being next to another horse in the straight. And if it's having trouble changing lead or doesn't like that bend (this could be a combination of the hidden quirk I've heard about but also poor agility + tight track = doesn't like the bend).
Like this:
It would be awesome if some of those "keep track of this" information could be selected in the UI as well. Like if you find out a horse's racing style, you can drop down a box and mark them as such. And it would be cool if you could make notes on races and training gallops (if they were kept in a race list or in a new tab) so you could note on a race if the horse got boxed in or the jockey rode a different style to what they said they did.
I hope I don't sound like a bad new player, coming in with all these new ideas
It's just a really cool game but the UI isn't very user friendly and I'm studying internet communications at university, so I notice those kinds of things.
