Entry fees are now race specific in the latest version of TOM. Every race has its own individuality such as being able to set field sizes, total noms per trainer, nom fee etc.

Qualifying races would be fun for the players I think, to shoot for. Writers could even write about which horses were coming closer to qualifying for certain international races as well. That would hype up the anticipation ever more and make getting one of those invitations, even more gratifying for those trainers.

The Dubai races might be a bit tougher though. The SOPL Int, the USRA and the UKRA Presidents should be able to come up with something that will make sense for...

Not sure how you plan to allocate the invitations, but how about qualifying races run over a similar distance and track type to the one you wish to enter, this would ensure that you send over horses that had a chance and also give the trainers a goal to aim for.

I like the idea of heavy entry fees for bigger races because from personal experience in the leagues i have competed in i have thrown junk into G1's just for the sake of them running and they just run no where. or maybe certain qualification criteria needed to compete in G1's or something.

nice idea!

Invitational events are on the schedule.

You wont see lesser UK horses heading to the US for the Arlington Millions or Breeders Cup and vice versa. Lesser US horses wont run in the Derby or Ascot, and so forth.

Entry fees was something, I had been thinking about. More to do with this idea before anything changes.

Travelling fees is a very interesting suggestion.

Thanks - Keep em coming!!

Hello,

Something I would like to see in future leagues and this is something I have suggested by added into the game. I know we pay entry fees but the amounts are chicken feed. I would like to see realistic entry fees. This way we would get top class group ones. A trainer would think carfeully before just entering a horse into listed or group races.
