Take Me Or Leave Me was a pretty big let down as a productive gallop.

Ugh. Mostly claimers and productives, a couple of allowance, and that's it. I'm short on time as it is, and wondering if it's worth even continuing. Even my steward-breds that I had such high hopes for look to be limited to allowances.

I regretfully echo Lord Derby's sentiment.

However, glad to see Tim fared well with his binge breeding.

Flightline lol. Horse is the best new sire in the game and won the BC Classic by a million. Yet somehow I managed to breed 1 allowance, 3 productive, 2 solid and a claimer from my 6 foals from him.

Whoops.

Whiskers 'n' Wishes, a turf sprinter who earned over 2 million by the end of her 3yo season, is out of my mare Madeline and the sire Ahtohallan. For her most recent foal, I took Madeline to Ahtohallan's sire, Thunder Horse, and got a claimer.

Some other major disappointments (especially with Noivern's yearlings and just the sad results of my TS/AWS/TM/AWM in general), but yikes was this one bad!

bummer; I do like how you've given Seasons of Love "Rent" and musicals based names for the most part.

Like mine - I hope they improve for next year; I think I'll go ahead and place my 3 let-downs in my "better horses" group anyway and treat them like future stars with the hope they "bloom". Put to work that "The Secret" thing and visualize them winning G1's, etc.
I'm just here for the fun of it

Productive :( - thought I was onto something and I know the steward said we should use JM more, just unlucky, this was an A+ hypo too
I bred 2 and got 2 Stakes late bloomers. He is one of the only ones that didn't disappoint me this year.lol I also have 2 freak 3yr olds by him. Maybe he just feels sorry for my sad mares ;)
