I wrote an article about the stress of my first steward auction - he was a productive too I think! he started out very exciting but, well, it didn't last.
All Your Might was my very first steward bred purchase <3 (shame I gelded him, but alas, it happened). The Oldest Steward's Cup winner in the Sim history. 11 years old x'D
Sara, you had a much better purchase than Gigi and I did. Lol
I was very lucky to get him (and that he repaid me later). 700k doesn't sound like much, but for me it was my entire wallet back in year 42 (more or less).
I joined y21, so it took me 21 sim years to be able to buy my first stewardbred.

I am one of those that is waiting to find out how my steward bred gallops. I opted to do a work on him, and his work tells me that he is either going to be productive or allowance. Although he may surprise me and be allowance or better. Not my first steward bred auction but my first one since I just came back after a long break for me.
My first Steward Bred though: https://www.simhorseracing.com/horse.php?HorseID=7382
She was amazing and went on to produce some very nice foals and had several full siblings that were amazing as well as several nieces and nephews that were quality horses. I miss that line. I wish I could resurrect her and just get one foal out of her to race. I would not care if it was a stakes winner or not, just very fond of that her.

You train him fit, do a new work and be pleased to see a much faster time.

I am very happy with my purchase. I galloped him today and he galloped stakes. He galloped brave as well. My only concern is he also galloped at peak. Hoping that part is wrong and he will be progressive instead. If not I might have a really good 2yo on my hands that fades as an older horse.

Awesome Tammy! I will say that I think 99.9% of Stewardbreds gallop as peak. I'm not sure there has ever been an answer as to why as this is wildly different than my personal breeding numbers (12.6% peak gallopers out of almost 1,700 horses the last two seasons).

I feel like it is programmed into the game that way so that your stewy horse shows it’s potential up front, only thing that can explain the high success rate of stakes or better bred by the steward. When is peasants breed the same, we get allowances and claimers that will upgrade later once peak.
That’s just my random thoughts on it all. As normal I am prob 100% incorrect.
Pretty sure The Steward confirmed she makes sure they are at peak straight away so that they show their best potential. However, this doesn’t mean they will be bad as older horses. Lots of horses can hold their peak for a long time and through many seasons. My horse Henry VII (linked below) peaked at 3yo in week 1, and is still freak peak as a 6yo: https://www.simhorseracing.com/horse.ph ... ID=1308649

I spent 2 million on one of the only dirt milers in the auction and got a claimer.
So very select, indeed.
That reminds me when I used to buy by picking via the names... bought Hunger Games, was all excited, and got a HTT out of it. Was only $800k but for me thats a lot for a HTT!

I believe the steward has said there is nothing she does to make the horses better she just happens to see all the behind the scene numbers so she can make better breeding decisions. Though does not explain why they are almost all (if not entirely all) peak

I never said she makes them better, I just said she removes the improvement factor so we know their intended peak gallop at birth

My first Stew has been a bit underwhelming. I even gave her a name I loved. Yup allowance with stakes potential and four left hooves.

Isn't that the same as making them better, even if only for a short time before the others catch up?

No it’s not. She didn’t improve their ability, just removed the foreplay.
