I debated making a post about this guy a while ago, but I still thought this forum was really for the top, game changing horses for players. I know that isn't it and I've known that for a while, but I still never got around to it, but I really love this guy.
I got his dam out of AJ, ran her once (she was last) and retired to find her formidable. At this time in my game history, I thought formidable was really good, so I bred her to Best Revenge who I had seen a lot of hype about. I got a colt that galloped claimer. I bred her back (still don't know why other than it was end of week 5 and maybe just wanted to balance out the colt/filly ratio without doing much research) and got this guy. Come festivus, he galloped freak. I wasn't super excited because I knew all about 'sad freaks' and was determined to stay realistic, but even though I know some have shared that their sad freaks can't win a NW3, I decided my goal with this one would be to win a stakes race. If I could do that, I'd feel accomplished. I also got him a headshot as I had previously told myself that the first freak I bred would get one to sort of mark the occasion.

Gallop adjustment changed him to stakes, and that concerned me since I was told when I was newer that horses only stay at their peak for about one season, and he first galloped freak peak at his yearling festivus. Now I thought he'd be allowance by the time he could run. I hoped his workout times staying consistent was a good thing.
Not sure what will happen W9 when he might finally drop a gallop level, but so far he's still stakes peak, and has a current record of four wins, a second, and a third in seven starts, including the Distorted Reality Stakes, the Lexington Race Course Stakes (G3) and the Midnight in the Sahara Stakes. I have seen too many horses get put in over their heads (in real life, too

His name is a reference both to the racehorse Notacatbutallama and this viral video from 2021.
