Rest in peace...GP-sires!

Post by Flizan Hambletonian »

... Dandino, Novellist, Excelebration and Shea Shea.... You will be missed.

I got really upset when I saw Dandino was deceased, Em, please, can you do a "Bobby Ewing"? Just a bad daydream? :shock:

You might die inside if you are 30+ in human land too or maybe that was just me

RIP. I just bred my two first (and last) Excelebration foals on a whim a couple of days ago. Didn't know they were all leaving. Hope for something nice!

Nope... but still! :) <3

... but we want new, shiny, good Steeplechase-studs that aren't private... I guess Kilcreggan, Altior and Tiger Roll will pension this Sim-year. That leaves us with GP-sired and a very few options.

People get sick of a few players dominating good studs, that’s the result…good horses become privatized. For example…MVP’s first crop. So who’s to blame?

But we’re going to have Quincy Rae and Korinna Genesius retire next year who I have good feelings about andyou have Morning Glory Z and I’m sure others who will be good.

Don’t want to be too abrasive but I really am not wanting more outside blood injected into chasers. I feel like we as players should be able to make our own way
