🇺🇸 Added Pimlico Race Course and races
Pimlico Race Course has been added, and you can now play the following race:
– Preakness Stakes (GⅠ Dirt 1911m)
📊 Added a record display to the Horse Data screen
On the screen where horse data such as Speed, Stamina, and Spirit is displayed, we added two tabs: “Parameters” and “Records.”
The “Parameters” tab displays the existing horse data as before.
The “Records” tab displays titles such as “Japanese Triple Crown winner” and records such as “Two consecutive Arima Kinen victories.”
This feature has been added as a trial for now, so it may be adjusted or removed depending on feedback.
⏱️ Added support for shorter breaks between races
Horses can now enter races back-to-back or with only a one-week break between starts.
Previously, the shortest interval was two weeks, but since the real-life Kentucky Derby → Preakness Stakes schedule has a very short turnaround, we decided to support even tighter race scheduling.
However, intervals of three weeks or more remain the standard.
If you enter a race with less than a three-week break, a speed penalty will be applied during the race, and the horse will not be able to perform at 100% of its ability.
The shorter the break, the greater the speed penalty.
Also, racing with less than a three-week break is allowed only once in a row.
For example, after a back-to-back race, the next available race must have at least a three-week break.
Due to this change, the race selection screen now starts from races with a three-week break.
If you want to choose a race with a shorter break, please scroll upward to find the back-to-back to two-week options.
📘 Updated horse information
Horse information has been updated to include the latest results up to the Oka Sho, Kawasaki Kinen, and Dubai World Cup.
🔧 Fixed minor bugs
Various minor glitches have been fixed.
– Added furlong marker posts for Epsom Downs Racecourse
We had forgotten to add the furlong marker posts for Epsom Downs, so they have now been added.
– Fixed a bug where an incorrect grade label could appear on the retirement row in the race history screen
– Other minor bugs have also been fixed.
🏇 Bonus Column: Fun Facts about Pimlico (and the Preakness Stakes)
(Here is a little extra reading—this section is optional and does not affect the update details above.)
1) What kind of racecourse is Pimlico?
Pimlico Race Course is one of the most historic racecourses in the United States and is best known as the home of the Preakness Stakes.
2) What kind of race is the Preakness Stakes?
The Preakness Stakes is the second leg of the American Triple Crown, often called the “Middle Jewel.”
3) What is special about the 1911m distance?
The race is run over 1 3/16 miles (about 1911m).
It is slightly shorter than the Kentucky Derby, so it requires a good balance of speed, positioning, and finishing power.
4) How does this connect to Ver1.28?
With the addition of the Preakness Stakes, Ver1.28 also introduces support for shorter breaks between races, making it easier to recreate a tight U.S. Triple Crown schedule in-game.
