Re: Year 56 Goals
Get a TR stakes win. Just one, and I will be happy (considering everything I own right now was claimed by me last SIM year).

Re: Year 56 Goals
Y55 wasn't a total loss for me but I do have a few goals that I am hoping to achieve this season.
- I would like to get my first graded stakes preferably a G1, but I'll be happy at any level. (May not happen but I have a couple that may prove me wrong this season)
- Get better at reading race cards to make sure I'm putting horses in the right races.
- Get my OTB to 40% this year and my win% to 10.
- Write more Stallion Reviews... and get my article income to $100,000
- Breed a homebred freak... (accomplished thanks to Pacin Edgar & his gf Chanctobelieve, Locked'n'loaded

Re: Year 56 Goals
OKAY! New goal!! Getting this gorgeous, insanely well bred Steward Bred filly to ACTUALLY break her maiden: https://www.simhorseracing.com/horse.ph ... ID=1135380
Yes, you saw correctly... 4 (!) second places in 4 starts. I'm beginning to think it will actually be a harder goal than it sounds. I threw away the receipt, can I still get a refund? man I hope she has a golden uterus...

Re: Year 56 Goals
I have four graded stakes winning mares retiring at the end of the season. I want to breed at least one freak colt from them. They all have pedigree to produce stud worthy colts and I love producing home grown stallions.
AT STUD
DR... ROYAL ASSASSIN | WITTED
TR... DAY TO DAY | FIRST CLASS | MEGAPIXELS | MIJO | VALAR | WILDNESS
Future Sires... CINEMA (Y69 or 70) | TRAILBLAZING (Y68 or 69)

Re: Year 56 Goals
I had to cut way back on the stable due to traveling and it really helped. I even bred my first freak in ages, and Olive got into the Hall of Fame!Louise Bayou wrote: ↑3 years ago Honestly? Regain the passion I once had for the game.
I can't decide if that is to cut my barn down to like 20 or go hard and run a boat load.
Goals are as always - have fun, don't take anything too seriously since it is a game where no one "wins the game" - its like running- you're competing with yourself as much as with anyone else and some times you just don't do as well. And try to name some foals with punny/funny names
I'm just here for the fun of it

Re: Year 56 Goals
I'm going to be simple and straightforward with my Y56 Goals.
1- Win 100 or more TB Stakes races. Any Level will do.
2- Make it 5 seasons in a Row with an SC Win. Any Breed, any Surface or Distance is fine, but I've got a running streak of 4 seasons with an SC Trophy, so #5 Straight would be nice.

Re: Year 56 Goals
I want to finish out the year with more money than I did last year. I was over $5 Million but then spent about $2 million between the exchange and stud fees.
Last year I had 6 Grade 1 wins running Thoroughbreds, I would like to surpass that number.
I'm 486 wins from a total of 3,000 -- I would sure love to cut deep into that number and hit 3,000 in a near future...perhaps even next season.
And while more a wish list than real goals...
I Still...want to win the Arch. I have a feeling, Roughian isn't going to be the runner she was last year, so I'm hoping Mall will step up to the plate and hit that homer.
I also hope my dirt router, Aloft will do well in the Triple Crown series.

Re: Year 56 Goals
#1 goal: Have Fun
If that's the only goal I achieve, that's a good year
Additional goals:
20% wins
55% OTB
20 stakes wins
1 G1 win, preferably a SC, but I'll take anything
Breed a freak
$4M in winnings, would be the most I've ever earned in a single season, I'd honestly be happy with $3M
Earn a profit
Go through my barn for a good spring cleaning
