How do you enter a horse into the database without an exact year of birth? There seems to be no way to do it, and I'm completely flummoxed.
Currently, I'm trying to enter the mare Hebe, foaled in Australia in the 1840's, by Camerton out of an unknown mare. I can't seem to enter her into the database without some kind of year of birth, but I don't *have* a year of birth.
How do you do it? What's the secret? Or is it impossible?

Another question - not that I'm really expecting any answer , which means that the horse I'm trying to add to the South Australian Derby stakes history will not be added...
I'm trying to add Auteuil (c. 1953 by Royal Empire-Lass O'Gowrie) to the database, but every time I attempt to add him, I get a message saying that he's already in the database and that I need to delete and add him again from scratch. Only he's NOT in the database. There's three other Auteuils, but all were foaled in different years and have nothing whatsoever to do with with the Auteuil I'm trying to add.
This is extremely frustrating and very annoying. What is the problem? Am I doing something wrong? It's bad enough that I can't even put in a horse when I'm not certain of his year of birth but I do have his sire and dam.

You canNOT enter a horse without a birthyear. 'bout the only thing you can do with a horse that old is make an 'educated guess' at the birth year (IOW, think about when her first foal was born and then subtract about 5 years). If you do that, PLEASE make a note in the comments section that the year is unconfirmed and needs to be verified.
