Y53 Simmy

[Mr. Lord Rich]

Just curious of the criteria for Breeder of the year Simmy.

Hoping for a steward chime in on this thread cause it appears the a player with the most 2nd most wins, the most stakes wins and highest earnings was left off the ballet

And no I’m not asking to change anything at this point, just trying to understand how the breeders were chosen.

Just took a look Pete, at a guess I am going with the top two names in each category not including number of starts. The two provisional criteria I see is possibly 100 starters (lower numbers didn't get on ballot) and the thoroughbred exclusively. Your over all numbers are nearer the top, but specifically for thoroughbreds your closer to 4-6th in most categories

[Mr. Lord Rich]

So breeder of the year is a TB specific award now?
I didn’t see a mixer breeder of the year award so why would mixers be excluded from the criteria?

Also the most stakes wins and most earning should count for something unless again we are excluding mixers.

There is never a clear rhyme or reason as to some of the nominees which leaves it open to questions.

[Mr. Lord Rich]

Another thing I am seeing is steeplechase gets counted the same as TB which is the only reason I can guess Rachel was nominated for both Trainer and breeder this season.

[Dave Trainer]

Steeplechasers are TB

[Mr. Lord Rich]

Chasers are required to have their own unique gallop comment and have to be converted from something that we call “stiff and awkward” to something we call chaser.

Not really the same in the sense of what we are talking about here, but thanks for your input

[Dave Trainer]

If you look under Stewards Cup wins in the Sim museum they are classed as Thoroughbreds there.

Actually this is 100% my bad - when I pulled the Breeder report I forgot to switch from TBs only to everything (I separate mixers and TBs for owner this year). I was completely boggled your name didn't show up on any of the stats but couldn't figure it out, so I thought you just had a bad year.

I'd laugh about it, but you're probably not. You're added now!

[Mr. Lord Rich]

I was not really looking to be added at this point. The voting is already going to be blemished.

Was just trying to understand why myself or other mixer trainers were not included and you have answered that question.

Thanks.
