The sky falls....

Post by The Steward »

Tonight the mighty mare Skyfall passed foaling a Dave Matthews Band filly that I will be retaining for my broodmare barn.

I went to write a sappy sentimental post about this Derby winning gal, and what she meant to me as a broodmare once I got her, but I wanted to start out by saying "Skyfall was born on..." and that's where I just stopped, because she was born December 7, 2013, and she died December 7, 2019 and that is a. pretty cool and b. wow, she was a part of our SIM lives for 6 real years.

She was an amazing broodmare, and will live through her offspring for generations to come! (And I'm sure it felt like the sky was falling in Hawaii, on December 7, 1941).

That is sort of crazy that she died the day that she was born :O and that she was created in 2013, where did time go?!

Sorry, so sorry to hear about Skyfall falling into SIM heaven. The emotions associated with this game can be real. I felt so blue when Cadeauje left the game. Here's to the next amazing mare following in the footsteps of Cadeauje, Skyfall etc. and so forth. jX

Now I REALLY feel old. Hopefully she has produced a dynasty that lasts forever.

I've been swamped with real life stuff and just now read this.

I'm sorry for the loss of your great mare, Em. :(
Also, it doesn't seem like that much time has passed since she was racing. I'm always shocked when a well known horse dies and I realize how much time has passed since it last raced.
