4yo AGs will no longer be available for purchase after 7/1/09 3:00am est. They are being removed from the game.
Also, starting on 8/1/09 all races (including statebreds) will require a minimum of 4 nominations for a race to draw. If there are less than 4 nominations 24 hrs before the nomination deadline there must also be 2 unrelated owners for the race to draw. If a race draws with 4 nominations the race will run as long as there are at least 2 horses in the race. 1st place will pay 60%, 2nd 20%, and 3rd 16% even if there are only 2 or 3 horses in the race.
We are still working on a potential system for having year round breeding.
Finally, it is possible there may be a change to the 3yo AGs at the end of the year. The amount allowed to be purchased could be reduced, purchases could be limited to new stables only, or they could be entirely removed from the game. This is just a notice that something could change with them. Nothing has been decided at this point and partly hinges on what happens with the year round breeding possibility.
