Breeding question
Hello, I am a new player but I had a specific question about Steeplechasing so I thought I would post it here instead of the new players page. I leased some mares, one of which came with a hypomate in the notes. The Hypo Mating was to Jete and the grade was an A-. I have only bred a handful of mares and all with out the use of hypo mating because I am out of game points . Jete has a $30,000 stud fee which is 3x the highest I have paid for a stud fee. So i guess what I want to know is, is the how good is an A- nick?

Re: Breeding question
An A- nick is never a sure thing. There have been A- nicks that give out scary goods, and hard to tell gallops. But since this is steeplechasing, gallop comments don't matter. I'm no expert on chasing but I do know that an A- nick doesn't mean the offspring will automatically be awesome.

Re: Breeding question
Steeplechasers get A and A- nicks a lot easier than flat runners, but like anything else in SIM, a nick grade is never a guarantee of a certain quality of foal.
Amanda, give me the name of the mare (you can PM me, if you prefer), and I'll hypomate him with my steeplechase stallion, Broadsword, who is proven with just two crops that have raced over jumps, and stands for 10k.
