Thoughts
1. US racing, the addition of correct US race types, for example, Claimers, Maiden Claimers, Allowance Optional Claimers with the relevant price tag. For example, $10K Claimers would have the equivalent horses rated 40-50 to $100K AOC would have horses in or around Listed level and all price ranges in between, $10, $20, $30, $40, $50, $75K races.
2. Better AI for the "better" horses. Derby winners running 18 times a season etc is not realistic.
3. Sales, rather than have the yearling, 2yo, breeding sales scattered throughout the year have a designated time for sales. For example, breeding sales in December, 2yo March or April, yearling in July & September or October. Also especially for the yearling sales mimic what the major sales do, Book 1 (top sires, grade/group one winning dams and if possible siblings to top class horses), Book 2 ("Lesser" bred "cheaper" yearlings). Also allow the top priced yearlings to go for more than the current cap of around £1.45M. The top price last year at Tattersalls was £3.5M. 1982 Snaafi Dancer $10.2M, 1984 Seattle Dancer $13.1M, 2004 Jalil $9.7M & Meydan City $11.7M etc. Out of those only Seattle Dancer was remotely half decent so I'm not suggesting just because you pay a ridiculous amount you get a top class horse.
4. Schedules, perhaps use the ones that the Mod's created for S06 as a starting point. They're much more realistic than the current ones.
5. International travel, bring in quarantine times, for example a UK horse entered in the Melbourne Cup prevent it running anywhere but Australia in the 4 weeks up to the race. Perhaps the introduction of "early closing" races can assist with this.

Re: Thoughts
i'd like to see this too. i've always liked the american system of claimers as bread and butter races. in SO it would make gameplay more challenging and fun.
