Y52 AW Route Wins

[Garret Folsom]

Here we go. Back at it again...

If you hit a milestone and want to use a free breeding to one of my AW Route studs (Perfect Eyes or Wai Long Gone), please let me know and we can work it out.

Week 1 saw three milestones...

Out of Balance became the first Partnership to earn an AW Route victory. Congrats to Mike and Dakota!!!
Brian Clarke picked up his first career AW Route victory as well. Congrats.

Last and most importantly, Garret Folsom picked up his 1,000th career AW Route victory, joining Madelene Gilbert as the only 2 members of the 1,000 win club!!!

[J.r. Lewis]

Congrats Garret!!!

[Randall Allen]

Can't think of a nicer person to be the latest to reach 1K AWR wins. Congratulations Garret!

[Garret Folsom]

Thanks guys!!! It's always fun to compete with you both!!!

[Ali Hedgestone]

I'll throw in the option for a free breeding to Thermodynamic too. To anyone who hits a milestone (max 3 per year).

Week 2 gives us a bunch of trio of first timers, and a rarely seen feat.

Brandon Schultz, Jess Dowson and Harper Daniels all picked up their first AW Route win. Congrats to you all, reach out if you want a free breeding.

Dom Behan picked up his 500th career AW Route win. He's just the 7th person to reach this milestone, joining Madelene Gilbert, Garret Folsom, Bernard Kwok, Randall Allen, Lee Cara and Lucas Davenport.

Speaking of that group, Randall Allen just past Lee Cara for 4th on the All-time list.

Also of note, welcome back Mike Prevost, who picked up his first AW Route win since Year 39. I believe this was around 2014ish.

Mike and Dom, please let me know if you want a free breeding to Perfect Eyes or Wai Long Gone.

Ali - thanks for the offer!!! I'll use mine for sure!!!

[Brandon Schultz]

Yay for my first AW route win!

I would totally take you up on the free breeding offer except... I don't have any AW route female horses yet (in my racing or breeding barn) haha. I like the idea of trying more AW though so maybe I will have to start looking for some potential claims out there.

[Garret Folsom]

Hey Brandon. I'm going to send you a message in game.

[Andrew James]

Hey Garret,

any idea what my career total is? This is awesome you keep track of this. Cheers.

[Garret Folsom]

Hey Andrew,

Through the end of Week 2, you are tied for 43rd place All-time with 154 AW Route wins.

This might be the most loaded non-SC AW route stakes of all-time:
https://www.simhorseracing.com/race.php?RaceID=1253008
This race includes the top 2 finishers from last year's AW SC marathon.
In addition, there are 2 AW route multi-millionaires.

Aside: Portlandia Park is a "collectively owned track" funded from donations. I will try my best to remember to contribute when next year's fund raising efforts come around.

[Garret Folsom]

It's a very strong race. Buncha Yahoos and Sound the Bugle swapped 1st & 2nd in the Steward's Cup Synthetic Classic and the Pegasus and Unusual Doll won the Marathon and was 4th in the Pegasus...

[Garret Folsom]

It's been a few weeks, so let me get caught up...

Week 3 - Jr Lewis picked up his 300th win. The 19th person in SIM History to do so. Since that time, he's put up 19 more wins and sits 16th all-time.
Week 4 - Noel Collins picked up win #1. Congrats Noel.
Week 5 - Regina Moore picked up her 300th win, becoming the 20th member of the 300th win club!

Also of note for Week 5, John Farrell, picked up his first win since Year 34, which is before I started playing this game (March 2013).

[Garret Folsom]

Nothing for Week 6.

Week 7 just had 1 first time winner and that is Nick Jacob. Congrats.
