Horses not eligible to enter, but they should be?

I feel like most of my horses are not available to enter races with currently open entries, although they should. For example, this mare:

Remember To Call 4yo mare, D B Aqueduct Racetrack NW1 Allow

she should be able to enter a race at Aqueduct, but she’s not:

I have a few more like this but the server just got sad again :wink:

You have minimum energy set to B for racing settings. Thus a horse with D energy is not going to show up to enter a race.

I’m so sorry for all the questions but I can’t work out why I can’t enter, for example, A Million Dreams in a race next Saturday. I want to try and enter race 23. She’s already at Aqueduct, currently B for energy so should be ok according to my settings but she’s not showing up as an option to enter and I really can’t work out why.

There was an issue with allowance races not showing the stakes tab, which has been fixed.

However, you have your settings to require 10 days of rest, and she has 0, so that’s probably why she’s not showing up.

That makes sense. Thank you!

Ok! I thought these settings will only work with auto entries, not when we enter manually.

No, that’s why there’s the tickbox for “apply settings for future races” :wink: . The default is that the settings apply for all races, and you can have them apply to future races as well.

If it’s overly confusing I can change it to checkboxes and you can pick to opt them in for races or future races or both.

I think I’ve got one of these as well. I tried to enter Decisive Wave in the race I planned for her but the scheduled entry didn’t transfer to entry.

This race should be ok for her:

She’s two, at Gulfstream and unraced, so she meets the basic requirements.
Her energy is A|B, meeting my settings of minimum energy for racing being C. I have no settings for minumum workouts before a race and she’s never been injured, so these shouldn’t affect her it either.

Maybe I still overlooked something, but this one has got me stumped haha. It’s no issue if I can’t enter her in this specific race (entries close today so that might be a rush job), but I wonder if it’s a bug or if I’m doing something incorrect with the new app.

Here’s one I’m not sure on, tried to enter Appealing Vixen but the pop just comes up and says wasn’t entered?

I have Andy’s same issue. I have a horse at Churchill Downs, qualified for the 3yo filly stakes, I click Enter and I get the popup but I just get the option to select “Save” and the page only refreshes.

OK, I think the entry stuff should be fixed. :crossed_fingers:

I’m trying to enter Paloma’s Sponsor in the Kentucky Oaks on May 6th but she isn’t showing in the list of eligible horse for the race.

She is a 3YO filly and is currently at our Stable and should be able to be shipped to Churchill Downs in 1 day. She isn’t appearing in any of the lists, even though she has won 3 races, including 1 SW. Am I missing any reason why she isn’t qualified for that race?

Update:- She was shipped to Churchill Downs and should be arriving there tomorrow but is still not showing in the list.

You’ve got her maximum distance in racing options set to 8f, and the Oaks is a 9f race.

Interesting. I don’t remember setting maximum or minimum distances for any of my horses so never even looked at that. I’ll change it later and try again.
