Fifth cheapest horse in the sale was Simon, at 526k, who galloped wow. Will need works to figure out his second piece of equipment.

He wasn't a horse I was looking at until I noticed his name. Sent me back to a long-ago childhood fantasy of much greatness and success, so I had to buy him.

I almost went for Simon, Regina, because that's my parrot's name. Instead, I decided on your other choice too (I noticed), Stephen. Name of my uncle (who is a pain), but real reason was because I bred his second dam (by my stud, Venting). He galloped wow, and needs a gallop piece, so I'll be waiting to work him.

Impact
Scary Gallop Dirt Router
First scary DR I get BUT I usually sell my TBS purchases for profit so I will be taking offers and IF one interests me enough, I will sell when the 48 hours is up.

Thank you ! Good Luck with all purchases.

P.S. Money would be preferred as an offer, but will liik at trades, money and horse? ANy offer will be considered.

Simon is actually named after the creator of Simon's Cat... because that's what I was watching when I named that horse.

Stephen is named after my brother.

I love naming horses.

Now, if someone could PLEASE tell me why Gracepoint was so expensive?! I mean, she's super lovely, but.... the siblings give you such little hope!

I didn't get shut out this time! I got Keys to the Safe who galloped wow. She is very well bred and I'm happy to have her! I had high bid on the Saved filly too.

I'm guessing on Gracepoint is that the hope is that the mare produces better fillies than colts - really like the dam side on that one.

I was happy to get Hero - I upped my bid by a bit at the end just to make sure I didn't get shut out. He galloped scary.

I assume they guessed you named it after the mini series, just trying to decode the names.
Don't post anything, it might upset someone.

Unearthly Child was scary good! So happy to get a hopefully solid colt. I'm hoping him, Am I A Good Man, Hunt, and hopefully Bow Ties Are Cool will propel my stable to new heights.
