Stands for 15k.

I would love to be able to give some other recommendations so this doesn't just sound like self-promotion, but I'm not very good at keeping track of things like this. Though, with Light up Light up being mentioned here, I'd like to say that I think Take Me Black is another really good deal for turf routers at 25k.
Holy smokes, this guy has fantastic numbers!
Lisa - get him a headshot, and you'll most likely see him in the SIMperior Edge at some point! That will give him some more mares as well!!!

I'll try, but money's a bit tight right now both in real life and the sim so I'm not sure when I'll manage to do it :)

Thanks for the shout out for Take Me Black. I’ve tried to price him where his foals should make you money. I’ve also galloped two of his new 4yos and turned up 2 more freaks. So, the moral of the story is, give his late bloomer foals some time.

I'm kind of overwhelmed with the kindness of the Sim right now. Someone (who wanted to remain anonymous) sent me the money for a headshot that's now been ordered, and before I could post it here two other people had offered to help out as well. Thank you so much <3

my stallion Red Running Hood might be a little underrated but I dont really know but if he is I think I might be the reason why haha
because in his first season as stud I kinda shot him in the foot by sending him a whole bunch of crappy mares I bought cheap from AJ and that might have demolisehed his numbers a bit which still aint half bad I might add and I actuallt got quite a few allowance galloppers from those crappy mares

He gets a fair share of my better mares. I have 4 of his 7 stakes.

A bit off topic, but it seems like Laura Ferguson really has the Sim gods shining on her right now. Everything she retires become gold... :lol: 8-)

A few of my favourite TS in the $20k and under club are Cinematic, Happy Acting, Sonic, Magnificent Jeblar, Turn An Army, The Hearts of Many, and for the super duper thrifty, I kinda like Good Looking Sky.

Obviously, I'm a fan of all of my budget-priced guys as well. I think they're outperforming my initial expectations of them ;)

When people say better mares .

Do you mean other things aswell as being blue hen?

That might be because she works hard at the game and has spent many rl years building her breeding barn :)

Both turf sprinters. Being blue hen doesn’t guarantee being the best mare. Pedigree is a massive component, and sometimes some mares can just out produce pedigree and rating (e.g. Fictionelle and Moon of Atlantis, both rated formidable if I’m not wrong, or Fictionelle might have been ‘good’).
