GP Sired Stakes

[Lori Hamill]

Just checking to see if this is a glitch or if it is just it is what it is. GP sires that are purchased by Sim members (such as All Night High, Galileo Gold, Maurice, Trixton, etc.) are their 2 year olds not eligible for GP sired stakes? (I have a few that those races are not showing up in the upcoming races for week 12.)

If the horse is not standing for Game Points, then he is not a GP Sire. So if a SIM player bought him and he's standing for game $$, then no, those offspring aren't eligible.

Thanks for clarifying.

At the same time, that kinda sucks. You create a GP sired horse and went with the GP sire for the purpose (thinking 2 SIM years down the line) that you can enter that horse in those stakes races, only to be thwarted those 2 SIM years later, if someone changed that sire to SIM money. The two year old was GP sired at the time it was created, no matter what happens to that sire down the line. Can this be something "fixed" in a future upgrade?

Players can't change a horse from GPs to SIM money, and we don't sell GP stallions. The big group of stallions we imported into the game last year all came as SIM money stallions.

All Night High never stood for GP... when he was owned by the SIM he stood for SIM money.. not GP... so some of the studs that the SIM owned that got sold, never stood for GP.

Ah...I seem to have misunderstood the Q & A. Where's my rock when I need it? (You know...for burrowing under!)

It's my fault, Josh, I shouldn't have referred to them as GP Sires - I just couldn't think of a way to refer to them as being "outside" the normal Sim money stallions - being real life horses with real life bloodlines (which is how I should have worded it, I guess.). I was pretty sure of the answer just wanted it clarified. I should have worded it differently though.

I refer to them as the TBS sires, since they were all sold from Steward Auctions. In case that helps?
