Re: Gallop Comments - How did you go
Standardbreds make me generally feel better about myself than the TBs or QHs ever have. 4 pacer freaks and 2 pacer stakes (from 7 foals) and 1 trotter freak (from 5 foals). They're about the only reason I haven't dumped the whole barn in a fit of rage.

Your bank thinks sending horses to the glue factory instead of racing them is indeed glass half full, haha.

Re: Gallop Comments - How did you go
I think my stable is confused... ZERO Paint freaks, the one freak I got is in a breed I'm trying to get out of. One of my not so great crops, but all I keep thinking about is this scene from Sirens, with all these colts, I'm gettin paid!
Anyway, here's my results:
Arabian (10 foals, 9 colt, 1 filly):
4 stakes - Nagib (2), Cronos, Lord of Arabia
3 Allowance
2 Productive
1 Solid
Appy (7 foals, 6 colt, 1 filly):
1 Freak - First Class Runner
2 Stakes - Better than Pat, Gun For Hire
3 Allowance
1 Productive
Paint (158 foals, 131 colt, 27 filly):
11 Stakes - Limitless (6), Grey Patches (3), His Will To Live, Mark Me Gold
45 Allowance
50 Productive
27 Solid
25 Claimer
Quarter Horse (13 foals, 12 Colt, 1 filly):
3 Allowance
6 Productive
3 Solid
1 Claimer
188 yearlings total
158 Colts (84%)
30 Fillies (16%)
I've been trying to go colt heavy the last few years, as a way to cut down on my incoming broodmares, I kinda like it

Many productive and less will be sent to GP unless they are female with a good pedigree and family
I am also about to quit this game. I don’t chat cause I don’t have a keyboard for my iPad and I hate chat rooms. Always have.
I don’t have time to train my horses and I don’t work. How do the people here do it? Training is very time consuming.
My TB crop was once again dismal.
Depressing.

Re: Gallop Comments - How did you go
Andrea, seems like you got a fair amount of stakes, honestly. Since the gallop changes the other year, stakes are actually very likely to be stakes quality, and allowances and even productive day can be really useful horses. Don't despair.

Re: Gallop Comments - How did you go
Thanks Laura, I actually think my biggest issue is the time it takes to train. I seriously don’t have much free time between household chores(which I do very slow due to my health condition), shopping(food,necessities),doctors appointments, physical therapy, etc. My biggest focus is my health which has been much better thanks to diet and PT,etc. There is so much more but it would take forever to explain. Anyways, I just miss how much less time consuming training horses used to be. It looks like I will have to try another sale/lease again which costs GPs AKA real money which I don’t have much of.Laura Smith wrote: ↑5 years ago Andrea, seems like you got a fair amount of stakes, honestly.

Re: Gallop Comments - How did you go
Would it be a solution to try to hire an assistant trainer? Someone you'd trust that could help with out with things like training or other things you would consider delegating? I don't dare to volunteer myself due to own time constraints but I wished to put the suggestion here. Maybe you already thought of it?

Re: Gallop Comments - How did you go
Andrea,
If you need some help with training your horses I'd be happy to help.
Glad to hear your health is improving. I'm getting my PT cert this spring so I'm looking forward to helping people like you with their physical health too:)
