Has anyone worked out how to get for example Japan jumps races populated with Japanese horses?

Thanks in advance.

Sadly not, gave up ages ago after spending a considerable amount of time on it - still hoping mark will come through with a solution though, so come on mark, please as this could also go towards being a permanent feature in so6.

A little bit niche though?

Yeah it would be a bit niche I agree GS63, but I think with the popularity of Horse Racing in Japan it would be wise for Mark to open the game up so that Japanese horses can compete in both Flat & Jumps races. It has been done for France so it can't be that hard to implement the change?

The grand national is shown every year in Japan as in 1995 a Japanese jockey rode in it. Also, even just to have Japanese horses for the Japan races would be nice, especially as they are the richest in the world. Also, it would make the time myself and others have spent worthwhile, and international runners do exist, for example flatterer in the 1997 champion hurdle from USA and this horse potentially for next years festival - http://www.theinformant.co.nz/racing/ar ... orld-stage

We've also now had an Irish winner in japan, Mullins says he may return

Yes, that win certainly adds weight to the call for the inclusion of the Japanese racing I agree.
