Fakes and Posers

Post by Jon Xett »

... no not "them", my horse named Fakes and Posers.
F&P makes me laugh and I need to laugh more.
https://www.simhorseracing.com/race.php?RaceID=1547462
F&P is by my mighty sire Buzzkill! Who???????
Yes Buzzkill. You remember him. https://www.simhorseracing.com/horse.php?HorseID=519490
Buzzkill won 5 races but he did not meet any criteria whatsoever to legitimately stand at stud. Sorry about that Ben Stover who used him 2 times.
I myself only bred him 3 times. His first foal was a nicely bred mare favorite of mine: Yellow Flame
Yellow flame was the dam of million dollar earner One Sweet World (Through The Ghost) and Lover Lay Down, Steward bred/owned dam of million dollar earner, Enough.
Why did I even waste the time to use Buzzkill to Yellow Flame to make Buzzsaw? I don't know, I do stuff like that to bug The Steward, I think. But the real reason is that I have an angel Christmas ornament with a buzzsaw blade looking halo that is nicknamed Buzzsaw and I wanted to use the name.
Buzzsaw, https://www.simhorseracing.com/horse.php?HorseID=771727, did not play out at all and I forgot about Buzzkill as a sire.
Five SIM years later I bred Tangerine (Mint),https://www.simhorseracing.com/horse.php?HorseID=839506, an awful racer out of Rowdy Behavior, a 2 million dollar earner, to Buzzkill. Tangerine is a "top level" broodmare.
DMB to Tangerine gave a solid type, BTW, and Buzzsaw yielded a meh alw. potential colt names Fakes and Posers who didn't give up his second piece until a Year 54 week 9 gallop as a 3 year old!
F&P is now 3: 2-0-0.
And now you know why I am so strange in my enjoyment of ALL things SIMHorseracing.com. it is not easy being this weird, jX

Congrats Jon : )

I upon occasion will breed a mare to a sire that really should be a gelding...just to see what happens and/or to get a foal I just want to tag a name to for the fun of it, given the sire/dam's names. I call them my 'sport horses' as I have no hopes of them winning anything and they will probably only have a sporting chance to earn money if I get them into unfilled races. :P
