Will workouts also work with random jockeys (when a horse doesn’t have any specific jockey assigned)? I still haven’t found how to assign jockeys in the new app.
Yes.
To select jockeys, go to a horse, pick Set Racing Options, and choose your jockeys there.
If jockeys are picked, it will use them (though I do plan to have an option where you can pick which jockey you want for workouts, so that once Jockey 1 knows your horse super well, you could move on to Jockey 2, etc). If jockeys are not picked, it picks random jockeys from the flat/jump list.

Sorry to bring this up again, but I still barely see an improvement for my horses in the three weeks since the fixes were implemented. Maybe I’m too impatient, but I have a feeling something might still be off.
I’ve got a few horses that have improved by one or two energy levels, but a bunch have also gone down, as well as fitness decreasing while they’re at the track. Weirdly enough I have horses hanging out at F or D energy that haven’t raced since last year, but also a few of the rare A/A level horses that raced just one or two weeks ago. There’s only 9 out of 270 racehorses sitting at A/A energy/fitness whereas it used to be the majority of horses (except those who just ran).
I’ll just keep lightly racing them and I fully get it’s a proces to get everything fully functional in the new app, but just wanted to flag it as it still seems troublesome.
See if this is any better - turns out all horses who should have had energy or fitness of B weren’t getting updated, so I’ve manually updated them + fixed the daily auto updater.

It’s looking a lot better after that adjustment, so many more horses at normal levels. Thanks Shanthi!

Not sure what’s going on but my horse energy/fitness all over the place.
Checked Astronomic as his fitness was low. He’s scheduled to work and at a track but not worked since early April. Appreciate a lot of work has gone in to improve everything.
Game is very difficult to play atm
I’m not sure what you’re referring to - Astronomical worked out April 2-4, and April 6-11. I think his energy/fitness was C/C this morning but went to A/C and then he worked out for yesterday’s schedule and it’s at B/C now (he won’t have gained much fitness with just jogging). Your settings are set so that horses only work out at A energy, which is presumably why he has gaps in his training.
FYI I’ve updated the fitness gain for workouts, relative to the energy loss. I may have overdone it, but I’d rather have to tweak it down than up. Give a shout if you walk your horse for a mile and they go from fitness D to A or something.
