TB Gallops-How Did You Do?

Post by Carole Hanson »

I did really bad this season:
45 foals
9 claimer-20%
7 solid-15.5%
9 productive-20%
14 allowance-31.1%
4 stakes-8.8%
1 freak (that I didn't even breed lol)-2.2%

4 TR stakes, the freak is DR and other than that DR and TS sucked for me.

Stakes are by: Deputy Governor, The Tearjerker, Don't Forget Me and Moulay El Hassan. Freak is by: War Like Me

Doing the rough math you still beat me percentage wise, although I realize you have an elite stable with high standards. I'm happy with almost 9% stakes and freaks in what is my third crop, not too down about 10% claimers but frowning over the 50% of solids and productives in the middle. (this is my stats for all flat horses, not just TBs)

I galloped mine alphabetically by dam but it seems the allowance comments ran out halfway through, after that it was all or nothing.

I started with my tier 2 and tier 3 broodmares this morning slowly working my way through two cups of coffee growing cold. Beginning to accept the fact that this crop would have a wide race-able base quality (lots of allowance) but no actual edge. Then as I reached the end (and my tier 1 favourite mares) it felt like confetti was raining around the room and music started playing. That kind of feeling. :)

Out of 67 TB yearlings bred, there were four freaks:

Karazhan x Million Reasons
I am *so* happy with this filly. Not only is she Karazhan's first freak, but she's also a combination of two of my favourite mares to race. Out of Million Reasons with her iron will, winning the SC Ladies Route in front of Kris Bobby's glorious Finally Found You, coming in second in the Louisville Oaks only a head behind Stephen Saratoga's The Sky is Blue. She actually also beat Todd Lucas' Ransack in the G2 Empire Maker Stakes back when they were both young. Million Reasons was a stakes her entire career but she didn't seem to care much for that label. Being a daughter of Karazhan, this yearling filly is then also a daughter of my first "big" homebred TB and granddaughter of Sing Back Louder, who was my first "big" owned TB.

War Like Me x Mezzanine
My wonderful Mezzanine seemed to think Erin Sanderson's bay colt was definitely her cup of tea. It was the first time I tried to combine these particular bloodlines myself and I am really happy it turned out. Mezzanine had not only one, but two daughters turn freak today. Her oldest daughter by Dave Matthews Band decided it was time to reach her peak too.

Dave Matthews Band x Make a New World
If anyone remembers me waiting for a late blooming mare turning 5,5 yrs old without reaching peak, that is the mother of this colt. Make a New World is the Stewardbred daughter of Sing Back Louder, sired by the striking red The People's Horse. Both Jon Xett's Dave Matthews Band and Glenn Escobar's The People's Horse were flashy and fast on the track and I'm really curious to find out how it translates when combined with Sing Back Louder's strength and stubbornness (heart, if you wish).

Mr. Wonderful x Sing Back Louder
this mare.. this is the seventh of her eight foals to date to be freaks. Only the Stewardbred daughter mentioned above got retired before she got the chance to reach peak. I am so grateful I managed to bid my then entire income on her before I got outbid. Likewise grateful the game decided Pietro Vella's bid on Hear You Me would go through instead of the bid he made on Sing Back Louder. Little did I know then, what kind of mare she'd be to me.

7 stakes:
Strong and Free x Tashmin
Tashmin being a stakeswinner and earner of almost 800k, a granddaughter of a mare I once leased from Fern Thompson. Coming from a maternal line that produced Beagle, Murmurs and Luna.

Karazhan x Xivilai
A 2-3 to Sing Back Louder's and Mezzanine's mother Dream Away which seemed to have turned out well

Parts Unknown x Clara Oswald
Thank you Nini for the lease! Clara Oswald being a daughter of Why You Dream (thus a sister of Kingdom Come)

Red Balloon x Velonia

Velonia being a granddaughter of Elan. Elan who was once generously given to me by Brandon McNulty. Elan is a full sister of Gentle Touch

Shancelot x Shamanin
This is Shamanin's second stakes daughter sired by Shancelot. They seem to appreciate each others company. Shamanin herself is a SC winner.

War Like Me x With this Regard
I was glad to see this colt turning stakes too. With This Regard is coming from a little unusual maternal line, but trailing back to Manistique, one of the greats from when the game was young. Hello War like Me! I'm glad you like my mares here!

(I actually also had a pacer freak. I didn't think much about it until realizing the numbers were adjusted :) )

67 TB
4 freaks: 6%
7 stakes: 10%
23 allowance: 34%

92 all breeds
5 freaks: 5%
9 stakes: 10%
29 allowance: 32%

Out of 27:

2 freaks (7.4%)
3 stakes (11%) (Bonus: 2 of them are by Maximus!)
6 allowance (22%)
11 productive (40%)
3 solid (11%)
2 claimer (7.4%)

Can't complain at all about these results. While I am a little disappointed with my productive and below percentages, I couldn't be happier with the big 2.

I did really poorly by most people's standards, but I'm proud of myself, because after a couple years of breeding DS to TR because I didn't pay attention, or flat to chasers because I didn't pay attention, or just really nothing mares to really nothing stallions that nicked badly on top of that, last year after about half my breeding was done I actually started researching how to do things, and actually felt like I was making informed decisions, and while most of my existing mares are unpredictable/formidable I came away 11 allowance (12%) most of them late bloomers. None of them will probably do a thing in relation to game significance, but I've never even bred an allowance yearling before so I'm pleased to see that I am sort of starting to figure out how to do this properly.

Allowance is really good. They are the foundation of what is to follow in coming years. I've been playing for five real life years (which may be a short time compared to many others) and I am really pleased with allowance. In particular when I start out in a new division.

As long as you're happy, nothing else matters.

*Most people* would be horrified by these numbers, but these percentages translate to 300 allowance and productive fillies who often end up as stakes and freak producers.

Freaks: 0.1%
Stakes: 1.3%
Allowance: 12.5%
Productive: 27.3%
Solid: 14.9%

Ok, still recovering... I've bred my biggest crop (154 flat TB + 4 other things), with better hypos, spending more on stud fees... Expected just a little more 🎆 I think, LOL...as always! Still, a lot of them should be barn improvers so I'll come around. Some of them are really pretty. 😊

3 stakes fillies (1 LB by Avacas, 1 LB by Take By Storm, 1 progressive by Take By Storm)
42 allowance (19 LB)
45 productive
24 solid
40 claimers
