I haven't played SO7 yet but in SO6 if you put the mouse arrow on the name of one of your horses then press N - a window pops up for you to write notes.
'Finishing' is only important if you are playing in the Online League. In your single player game it isn't as important.
Keep building up your bank - once it gets to about 5 million - visit each weekly auction and look for a G1 winning horse that is for sale and buy it. The younger the better - that way you can race it and win some good prizemoney before you start to breed with it.
Not sure if you are playing the English game or American or Australian but a thing to remember is that not all G1 races are as strong as each other. (the same for G2 and G3 races) identify the smaller G1 races and target them first - So race in the G1 races that aren't famous....they are weaker and easier to win.
GREAT info and extremely helpful. Thanks. I am playing American as, I am one and thus we are bred to be surprised that the rest of the world even exists. hehe.
My biggest haul so far was the aforementioned horse winning a $900,000 race in Dubai which was quite nice. I'll take some more of that! Still trying to figure out what some C1 races are broken down by Grades and others are just C1 so you really aren't sure....
I'll build up to $5MM, but will take a bit now as I just spend a small fortune on some yearlings and several look decent.
BTW, perhaps the biggest downer about your response was the Finishing news. I cut loose a few horses that were tanks in everyone BUT that.
