I have to decide who out of Ebionite, Fawn Lily, Fearsome, and Gedliah isn't going to the Steward's Cup.

OOOOO didn't realize the older horse race was open. That is a thought. Though when I tried that to keep Girona and Glarus apart week 10 it backfired royally as both managed to finish off the board.

This also brings up a frustrating point. I will have multiple horses in both the female sprint and middle distance older horse races but I don't have a single Steward's Cup worthy male. I ran through my breeding numbers and it seems that of my 3-5 year old paints 49 out of 87 are female, which is 56% (interestingly I bred 29 paints each of those 3 years), so yes a little female-biased but not dramatically so. Throw the 2yos into the mix (I bred 39 2yo paints eek) and it's 69 out of 126 or 55%. Yet 11 of my 13 Steward's Cup nominated paints are female (85%) with both those males being 5yo geldings that had decent starts to their career but have long since fizzled. What gives my male paints??? Synchrony's foals are a good example of this. She is the dam of 2 of the 4 fillies mentioned above. Her 3 female offspring have average earnings of over ~$440,000. Her 3 male offspring have average earnings of ~$58,000 (admittedly one is only 2 but as a productive galloper I don't see him bringing up the group much). Why can't I breed a decent male paint?

When will I learn that when I praise my horses they proceed to flop.

I think there is some code such that if you say nice things about your horse in the forum their ability is knocked down

Never say anything nice about your horses in the forum, and never bet on your own horse! It is the Kiss of Doom! LOL
