https://www.simhorseracing.com/horse.ph ... ID=1688537 this expensive thing I am sure will gallop a different career. As for the other 1212 they are all soon to be claimers.

Low expectations is my motto. So anything that goes bump is awesome.
I need supervision 24/7. :roll:

My favorite foals are Christmas Bells, Bitter Sweet, and this unnamed colt.

Fingers crossed!

I would be happy just to have a few more stakes TBH.

I'd pretty much love to have more than one freak in my crop, which you'd think would be possible with 160 TB foals this year. Hopefully. Sure wasn't the last couple. But especially Can't Take the Sky's little sister by Primetime and any at all of the babies by my stallions!

After the last Arabian sprint stallion I retired hypo'ed terribly, I bred my three best mares to Game Point sires for these three colts:

I'm really hoping that at least one of them works out. That division could use some new blood.

But also I just don't know anymore. I'll breed fancy Steward's Cup-winning leases to division topper studs and get productives and solids. All of my best horses have been unforeseen slidey types out of formids, unpredictables, even no potential mares. So I'm just excited to see what clowns roll up to my circus this year.
Brava Shannon! I’m 100% behind this!

Eff it, I'll jinx myself:

63 Fiery Eyes-by Impacts
63 Nofunrabbitgothegun-by Impacts, A+ hypo
63 You're My Wish-by Dave Matthews Band

I'm predicting only one freak for this upcoming season since last season was so good to me, gotta have that balance (wouldn't shock me to get 0 freaks)

If it's not all of them (hopes) then it's none of them (realistic expectations).

Of the horses who might have an extremely slim chance:
https://www.simhorseracing.com/horse.ph ... ID=1685497 => from a dam who produced a stakes gallop last season and some earlier nice foals. But since she's crossed to an expensive sire the foal will *of course* gallop timid claimer longer career :D.

https://www.simhorseracing.com/horse.ph ... ID=1262208
https://www.simhorseracing.com/horse.ph ... ID=1685499
A pair of twins from one of my best nicking mares and out of a sire only a little less spendy than Beau. Since there's twins I'm actually rooting for a stakes gallop from one of them. Are we allowed to admit that in this thread? :D

https://www.simhorseracing.com/horse.ph ... ID=1683795 => As an honorable mention, this filly is from a mare I swapped to Ma Springs this season. So she's not my foal, she's Ma's. However, I hope she gallops well as the dam came out of my early linebreeding efforts and Ma followed the three different 4th gen crosses the dam has with a 3x3 to Silver Bourne in the filly. I would love to see this filly stomp all comers for Ma to uphold the honor of excessive linebreeding :D.

☺ Except for that one...

These two have stakes yearling sisters. I hope for a positive trend.

I don’t want any of my yearlings to gallop freak. I want them to gallop stakes late bloomers and turn into super freaks in week 9 of their 2yo year.
