(Sorry, I meant Multi Work not Multi Train)
I along with probably many other stables don't use the Multi-Work(MW) feature much. I used to use it for previous Eliminator candidates but wasn't able to glean much info from it. In fact, it had the reverse effect, it displayed horses that looked better than others but as the season wore on, this wasn't the case. The main reason being the limited variables you can use. It was just a novelty to watch yearlings race before the new season started . However, I believe with a few adjustments, it can become the #1 tool for all stables to gauge how good or bad their horses are before they start their racing careers or for different set-ups for seasoned horses.
1. Increase the number of horses per MW up to 12.
2. Allow selection of different jockeys on those horses.
3. Allow selection of different weights for each horse to bring it in line with individual race weights.
4. Allow selection of different tracks to see which horses prefer which tracks.(this is already in place)
5. Allow horses to be placed in any starter gate not alphabetically.
6. Allow each horse to have an individual instruction.
7. Allow distances up to 12F.
Having this in place will have the side benefit of a practical teaching tool for new stables by allowing them to see what effect any change to the above has on each horse. Therefore on race day, they know that they have set their horse to its best potential. Of course, they can only see how good their horse is against its own stablemates but when they do enter horses in races, they can quickly learn which class it belongs to.
As per current MW format I would only allow one MW per horse per day. You could even set a nominal fee on each trial because it will tell a trainer valuable information just like the Vet does with the meds.
As usual, I don't know how much programming this would involve but I do believe that money spent on these adjustments would benefit the game no end and allow stables to overcome the current workout enigma.
