Virtual Fields for Details of a Horse’s Dam and Sire

The HORSE file now includes Dam Horse code and Sire Horse code as a result of the Refers to relations.  In this step you will specify Horse name and Date of birth as virtual fields on the HORSE file so you can refer to the names and dates of birth for a horse’s Dam and Sire.

This information is already present in the database. To retrieve this data onto the HORSE file, you need to specify the additional fields to be virtual fields on the appropriate Refers to relations.
