Basically I have been testing and refining the Australian schedule and also general bug checking for the flat racing version of SO3. If anybody has any questions about the Aussie version feel free to ask away. Regarding SO3 in general the testing is going very well. The real big winner in my opinion from what I have seen is the race sequence in flat racing. Far more realistic and luck is a huge factor. Havent seen the jumps yet but the improvements alone in the flat version is worth the price alone IMO.

So yes, you can breed and train your horses in AUS Mode and then move your stables to the United Kingdom Racing Association's 9th season in the SOPL International.

The inbuilt construction kit (not the league one) gives you access to every track in the league in SO3 so there is no reason why the same wont apply for the league construction kit. Bresian, quite a few changes. More training options (you can individual train horses for speed/stamina etc) instead of the old lot 1,2,3 method from SO1 & 2. More breeding options. End of each season you have one season to mate with the retiring stallions and mares. That means if you see a game horse you like if you cant pick him up at the daily auction you will get a chance to breed with him when he retires for a season. Fees are quite high however and you cant breed two of them together. At least one of the pairings must come from your own stable. The racing has changed as well. This is the most significant of all. Tracks are more accurately modelled. Cornering penalties are more accurate. Race fields settle far more natural and horses get checked, blocked for a run etc now. The luck factor has been added and the race engine is one of the most realistic I have seen. Lots of improvements on the flat side alone and of course you have the jumps to look forward to as well. They are some o the main changes I have noticed over SO2 through testing. Also with the Aussie season the season runs from August 1 to July 31 rather than Jan 1 to Dec 31 in SO2. A huge plus there

This may be especially viable if we can set up a merged schedule of US and Aussie events. Beau

Came up with a main stable/satellite stable solution. You have a main stable based in either UK or the US with 30 runners and a satellite stable in the other league with 10 runners. Also quite a few races will be open to horses from both leagues. Things like the US triple crown and Breeders Cup races and the English & Irish triple crown and some other major races. All will be revealed soon.....

I think horses should be restricted to their region (like usra or uk) but every G1 and championship race should be Open to both regions. TeeJay

Think each schedule has about 20-25 races that fall into this.
