Newbie Questions

Post by John Slotmon »

Howdy SIMHorseRacing.com,

Newbie here with but one horse in my stable. A few questions/comments/thoughts if you might indulge me for a moment or two:

1. So there are still Steward-bred auctions? And those are...when?
2. And there are limits to these here Steward breds? I pay $3 million to get a chance to own a third in a year? I appear to still have a SIM bank account.
3. Hey, I see Hand of God and Performing Tricks both made the Hall of Fame in the same year. That's pretty cool.
4. Silver Screen Star still has the turf mile record. Also kind of cool.
5. Has Ashley Gibson been nominated for HOF yet? I would like to vote for her.

Anything I am missing? Thanks in advance for the assistance.

1. Yes, not as many and I honestly can't remember when we have them (oops lol)
2. We are allowed to own 2 ( I think there are exceptions to this; retired, pensioned, etc)
3.Yes that's awesome!
4. Yep!
5. I don't remember for sure.

The Turf Sprint division now has the Chimborazo Stakes which has $5 million purse.
Just last week we had only the 6th filly in SIM history to win the Louisville Derby.

Hiya! Weird to have one horse in my barn (that I had to ask for and who has been retired for 16 SIM years or 11,983 real years). Glad to be here.
