2 Stakes Progressive (4.76%)
14 Allowance (33.33%) (1 was bought)
16 Productive (38.10%)
6 Solids (14.28%)
2 Claimer (4.76%) (1 was bought)

Out of 42 horses

I should probably lower my solid percentages and be a bit pickier with my broodmares. Half of my allowance and up horses were from leases. I should probably focus on leasing a bit more and be pickier with my own broodmares that I would be keeping for breeding. Overall as my first breeding season out of the trial park, I love the percentages and results!
Special Thanks to leases from Emily Mitchell (Freak) and Gaven Guile (Stakes Progressive)!
Special Thanks to Darcy, my brother, and Cleo's article for guiding me well in breeding!

observation: the early festivus makes the break seem twice as long.. and with the extra long break next season its going to be 74 times as long.. big waste of time.. why not just dock the 1000 points this extra time is meant to deduct and lets get on with it.

??? The extra time is always so we can release/test new features that are bigger than usual (such as an equipment change).... what do you mean dock the extra 1000 points?

We used to have long break every 3 SIM seasons but there hasn't been a need because we haven't been giving you guys anything really spectacular (just for lack of time). It's time to get coding again!

You’re actually going to test something when you release it this time?

LOL the 1000 points is the "weekly" charge for simperior.. that is all I meant. So, races start tomorrow, anyone remember those? I didn't know features could not be worked on while the game was in operation, 90% of the time no racing is going on which seems like the most stressful part of the operations.. But what do I know.

I'm excited to see a big change .

A couple things that are meant very constructively while we're on break.

1) Training times don't seem to have enough variation to (semi) judge the relative quality of yearlings based on them. I thought we were still supposed to get this change even though gallop labels stayed? If we're meant to be able to (semi) judge the quality of racers based on training times it would be nice if they could be tweaked a bit.

2) I have been taking you at your word that the gallop comments about how a horse is worth insuring is a reflection of them either being extra-good at racing or breeding or more likely to jump in race quality in the future. Others insist this comment just shows up on any old allowance (or better) gallop. It would be nice if you could check this and either state that it *is* working as intended (meaning quite a lot of horses deserve this comment) or tweak it so it is working as intended.
