Festivus does not know a timezone. It's an experience that we all look forward to going through until it ends.
Then we sit around wishing we could do it again.

Pete is right! Festivus is an experience. The surprise stakes horse from what you thought was a so so mare. The foal you thought would be elite ends up being a claimer. The one of a kind experience of seeing all your creations and how well you did. Messaging your Sim friends to tell them how you did.

At least that’s what Festivus means to me. It means something special and unique to each and every one of us!

[Nick Gilmore]

Every year I have the intention to stretch it out and gallop by division. Then the time comes and the mass gallop instantly kicks in and I’m done in a few short seconds...lol. I have no will power!

My favorite part of Festivus is the airing of grievances...
like when that A- hypo produces a productive yearling. Always awesome.

What is the biggest jump in the thoroughbred division, to Freak status, that anyone can recall?

[Rochelle Bos]

I am SO ready for crushing disappointment lol

I can’t tell if I’m being sarcastic or am legit excited

I"m sure there's been a solid or claimer that has though.

This old fellow, https://www.simhorseracing.com/horse.php?HorseID=378650, was either a Claimer or Solid, his first gallop as a yearling in YR 35 showed he was "Hard To Tell", and I don't remember if that was Claimer or Solid. His next gallop, at WK9, he jumped to "Scary Good", which was the best gallop one could have in YR 35. He wasn't much of a sire, but he was so much fun to race. He was my first "big horse".
