Re: How Did Year 52 Treat You?

Post by Erin Sanderson »

Been struggling all around in most areas of life, and that has affected how I've felt about the SIM for a good while now. Haven't given up, because darned if I don't know for a fact that I would miss the heck out of it. I love it.

Year 52 maybe didn't seem like a banner year for my barn. No SC runners, not my highest earnings, few enough grade one wins, etc. But I hit my highest ever win percentage (32.1%, so was almost hitting 1 in 3) and second highest OTB percentage (71.4%) since culling the daylights out of my herd a couple of SIM years ago, all done with 120 starts more than my 2nd highest win/highest OTB year.

I remember naming this colt after you... He did pretty well so far..
I dont remember why I named him like this but I guess we talked about how people misinterpret your name?

Scaled back to only 85 starts but had the highest earnings per start for all intermediate players, 2nd in win percentage, and had a lot of fun!

It was pretty terrible. I'm going to try to get rid of the crap this year and hopefully this year will be better. Literally all my horses suck lately, so that's great.

Year 52 treated me well SIM wise, bought a farm, made a nice profit, won 2 G1 races thanks to FLD Raven and You're In It. Looking forward to what year 53 has in store for me
