Silly Pioneer of the Nile Mare Question
I'm not much of a breeder of SIM horses but in the latest Steward auction, what makes Pioneer 4, 7 and 13 worth twice as much as 11, 15 and 19??? Just curious.

I think maybe they are just people's lucky numbers?

Re: Silly Pioneer of the Nile Mare Question
Absolutely nothing, although as a point of interest. I did observe that some of those high bids appear to be dead money.Keith Maidlow wrote: ↑5 years ago I'm not much of a breeder of SIM horses but in the latest Steward auction, what makes Pioneer 4, 7 and 13 worth twice as much as 11, 15 and 19???

Pioneer 4
Pioneer 5
Pioneer 7
Pioneer 12
Pioneer 15
Pioneer 17
All hypo'd A-, the others are merely a B+. Yes, bored and curious, but it is what it is.

Re: Silly Pioneer of the Nile Mare Question
For what it's worth, as a new player with access to the "recommended" section of the auction pages, very few of the Pioneer of the Nile fillies show up there.

Re: Silly Pioneer of the Nile Mare Question
To be honest, these mares seem to have a certain quality I'm wanting to experiment with. Judging by nicks these are stars or maybe formids, which by itself wouldn't be worth that money.

Re: Silly Pioneer of the Nile Mare Question
The mare I'm interested in hypo'd "B+" to both a DR and AWR stud, and "B" to a TR stud.
I am no closer to having a good answer *Facepalm*

Re: Silly Pioneer of the Nile Mare Question
I figured it out!!! The Steward has managed to hypnotized all of us through one of the SIM's many screens (maybe the trophy screen) and every time we see an auction that says "S..T..E..W..A..R..D" or a horse bred by the "S..T..E..W..A..R..D" we see "spend millions of $$$$$$$$..." Phew! Glad that's over, thought it was a much more complicated answer.
