I just made the biggest, dumbest mistake.
I wasn't paying attention and worked all 89 of my appy yearlings at once and managed to injure 39 of them. I rarely, if ever, use the mass train button and it bit me BIG time, I meant to schedule them ahead too. I just lost $226,500.
I need to walk away for a minute...

Re: I just made the biggest, dumbest mistake.
Aloretta, sorry for the big vet bill, but at least on the good side, they are yearlings and should recover before they have to start racing.
Dumbest mistake I made...way back when. Before we could undo shipping, or first class shipping....
I shipped a good 2 year old standardbred trotter all the way to Australia...where at the time they also didn't have any harness racing. It was like 30+ hours there... 30+ hours back... plus time needed to let the horse rest after such a marathon plane ride. At the time, I probably only had about $25,000 in my Sim account...and the plane ride each way was over $1,000 -- so about 10% of my money was diverted to travel too.

Re: I just made the biggest, dumbest mistake.
Just sent you a PM. I'll cover your vet bill. You always help me out when I need it and I appreciate it. It's all good! Just tell them slacker yearlings to suck it up and get better quickly! lol

I'm sorry, Aloretta! Last Sim-year I accidentally asked equipment for all my arabians (including claimers) when I meant to gallop. 192 horses, 96000 GPs... Ouch.

Re: I just made the biggest, dumbest mistake.
I want to thank everyone for the kind words, messages, and offers. This really is the best community. I originally just wanted to put a warning out there for people to be careful, lol. I'm going to change my name to Dingbat Dethly now.
