I have lost bids by $ 1 or $2 dollars at the last minute in numerous recent stew auctions. I do not understand how someone can figure out a bid that is only a dollar over in such a short time, and its happened to me multiple times with different eventual winners. Is there some unknown (to me) program that players are using to do this????

Ummmm......they just bid higher than your Max and the system settles it at $1 over your Max. They don’t magically know your Max.

Picked up a stakes DM filly on an underbid when Rochelle outbid me on set in motion last minute. You love to see it.

I got a horse who had a cool name so I thought he would be special. He's not.

https://www.simhorseracing.com/horse.ph ... ID=1253264 I got this little granddaughter of James Dean. She gallops stakes and peak but may be a good start to putting my barn back together. 😀
Edited to add: I could use SIM money if someone wants to make me a big offer for her. 😁😁😁

so Fireaway was a freak hmmmmm
he would have been my choice if I were to have bought anything in this auction but paying 7 million for a yearling whose dams top foal so far earned shy of 1 million was not going to happen
not that I would have affforded such a sum anyhow haha
and as I have 3 stakes gallopping homebred colts allready in my yearling barn I was not really looking for a colt tjhough I could always have used a freak so please let me hae a filly from the next one hah

I stopped bidding days ago and didn’t expect to get anything, so imagine my surprise when I woke up this morning to find congratulations from Kaine and Dave on my Stewardbred purchase. Confused, I went to check. Underbid won.

She came with a note and galloped Freak- the cheapest purchase in the auction yesterday. I’m very happy! 😊
