Goals / Wish List

[Gwayne's World]

Tomorrow begins the second half of SIM year 55 (already, I know)

List any dreams or aspirations you may have for the remaining 8 weeks?

[The Steward]

Not to get shut down by COVID 19

[Cleo Patra]

Stop running 3rd in every G1 and actually win one. This may be the first season since year 29 where I don’t win one.

[Carole Hanson]

Lol @TheSteward!

Get over $2 million in earnings-DONE
Win at least 3 more Grade 1’s-DONE

[Brian Leavitt]

Win a steward's cup with a homebred! Actually haven't done that since year 49

Also lmao at Em

[Rochelle Bos]

Keep on the same path with my stakes entries! W8 was so BLEH with them, but I will try to sort it out!

So far this year:
76 Starts : 24-10-9 $1,451,500
WIN: 31.58% OTB: 56.58%

And my G1 attempts:
10 G1 Starts : 2-2-0 $654,500
WIN: 20% OTB: 40%

VS Last Year at the end of W8
73 Starts : 12-26-11
WIN: 16.44% OTB: 67.12%

6 G1 Starts : 1-2-3
WIN: 16.67% OTB: 100%

Higher win%, lower OTB%, but I'll take it! Happy little clam!

Really gooey, deep muddy tracks for my horse, Teddy

[Stormy Peak]

I want to win The Arc with Roughian...but fear she might be sliding past her peak. I think if she's in top form, she could have a decent chance to give the top boys a run for the money in that race. I'll just have to see how she does in her next few races though : )

I also have my first real dirt router, Aloft...and I hope he lives up to his tag of being a freak and his workouts which are the 2nd fastest in the Sim for 2yr old dirt route males at 5 furlongs. I think I could tip over in my chair with a stroke if he actually showed enough talent this year to be a Derby contender next year...lol...given my whole stable is pretty much geared for Turfy horses...lol. So weird I try and try with my Turf horses and on a whim, breed a dirt route mare and boom...end up with a dirt route freak. lol.

[Nini Panini]

I'd love to make a strong showing in the Steward's Cup Distaff with Happy Memory. Perfectly handled by Danny Derby in the time I was taking a Sim hiatus, she made my return a lot more fun, and I love her a lot.

The other significant goal would be to get my beloved No Day But Today a G1 win! He's being campaigned quite aggressively, but I think he fits with most fields, and his last race showed me he's legit. Let's hope I don't ruin this for him!

[The Harlequins]

Put a roof on my training barn, lol

[Bertie Bassett]

Try to improve my win percentage

[Gwayne's World]

Try to improve my win percentage

18% is considered good by folks in the know?

25% and above is considered to be a SUPER TRAINER!

Are you going to help poor Frank with his barn roof?

Not quite at 18% yet. So I have a target to aim for.

If Frank pays the air fair I would love to help him with his barn roof Once we can travel freely again of course.

Survive

[Jack Ryder]

-Learn to place my horses better. I put them up so cluelessly at the moment.
-Improve my win and OTB percentage
