I want to mention Carolyn Eaton here too. She gave me an awesome wedding present in the form of a filly! Wedding Bell is her name and she is a daughter of War Chant and out of the real life Gr 3 winner Noisette! Exciting little filly! Thank you Carolyn.

I would add a second to Carolyn Eaton. Not only did she offer up a promising little filly, <a href='http://www.simhorseracing.com/horseped. ... seID=30408' target='_blank'>Boxitup</a>, but she also offered to ship it to the trial park before I accepted. Instead, I decided to keep her entered where Carolyn had originally saw fit to run her this week.

I'd have to say another person who has shown kindness is Nikki Sherman. Nikki hosted that Newbie and Junior High Auction with some nice horses for those of us who couldn't afford $1 million plus in the auction. Those two year olds will help the future breeding programs of newer players while also giving them a chance to see what it feels like to win an auction! Nikki Sherman is also willing to give advice to people, and just help out if she can. I don't remember how long ago but I also remember her doing a give a way for newbies of some of her horses. To me this means a lot because for lower bankrolls these gifts and auctions are huge helpers.

I'm going to nominate Daryl, who, in spite of being unable to win (and really, awarding himself would defeat the purpose), is a stellar guy for thinking up this contest, which has started such a friggin' rainstorm of kindness and presents.

Oh, and for Ghostlight. :D

I need to nominate, Rob Kilborn for the silks that he donated to me, just because he likes the way his look. I appreciate the gift and again Thanks Rob for the gift.

I wasn't going to single anyone out but now I know who wins this award. Rob Kilbourn (the CHAMP of the contest) just did the most generous thing I've ever seen on the game. Amy and Jolene get props too, but it was the idea and $50 to the bettering of the sim that gets the most credit. I love the silks that Dave makes as well and Rob just made it possible for ten people to have their own, out of his own pocket. Congrats buddy, I don't think it can be topped.

I just need to add to the praise for Amy, Jolene, and the originator of the idea, Rob. Definitely the greatest act of kindness I've seen in this game (and that's saying something)!

I definitely think Rob's act was a great act of Sim Kindness - what a great thing to do! Amy & Jolene - it was wonderful for you to add on - a great round of applause for all of you!
I'm just here for the fun of it

I nominate Stormy Peak who donated a pair of silks after hearing me whine in the Racing section. I really appreciate her gesture. :)
