New Sire Modern Games - Steeplechase Ability!

Post by Danny Derby »

I checked my new stud Modern Games with a few Steeplechase mares on a whim today and was chocked to found he was A+ to both of the brilliant mares he hypod with. I've got no idea he stacks up with the entire roster for the division, but give him a look. There may be something to him!

It sure is. Most A+ steeplechasers are gone. I think you have one of the best chaser stallions Danny. Who would have thought :)

Not the first time! When I first started playing, I picked up Pigeon Island from an AJ dispersal and the stud income from him helped sustain me in my early seasons.

He doesn’t A+ with any of my brilliant mares. 🤷‍♀️
If his fee was cheaper, I’d mate him. He only hypoed A with them.
I only spend high stud fees on A+ matings. It’s been quite awhile since an A+ has happened for me. Even though they are brilliant, they don’t with anything anymore, so I breed cheap.

30 more slots added. Unless these fill up pretty quickly they'll probably be the final 30 I add for the year.

Amazing group of yearlings from Modern Games, with several TB freaks and a ton of stakes.

Keep in mind his gallop results on the Studbook don't begin to do him justice since about 50% of his crop was Steeplechasers who can only gallop as thoroughbreds at one. Most of those steeplechase foals are "Different Career" or "Claimer" right now which muddy up the TB stats until they can train over jumps next year.
