Yesterday, I started wondering, "What's the most money a continuous line of SIM racehorses has won on the track?"

Each successive horse in the chain has to be a son or daughter of the previous horse (in other words, no siblings can be in a chain). You can start with any stallion or broodmare you want, but obviously the further back in SIM time you start, the more earnings potential your line will have.

This was the first (and so far only) line I played with (and certainly not the last "Symbol --> Conduit --> _____" line I will research) ...

Silver Charm $2,906,500 (no SIM headshot)

Symbol $1,215,200


Conduit $8,406,000


Atlas $12,763,200


Taian $1,461,000 (no picture)

Formosa $789,500 (no picture)

Famous Last Words $1,276,000


Beloved $2,071,000


Suki $276,500 (no picture)

Time Will Tell $1,381,000


TOTAL $32,545,700

So here's the challenge (through the end of May): Which of you can find the richest (by race earnings) continuous bloodline? I will give $100,000 SIM dollars to the winner.

Oh, and if The Steward knows the best answer to this, and someone happens to post the best possible bloodline in the thread, she can say so.

Seems interesting. Are we using horses we own or can we pick any horse in the SIM?

All SIM horses.

Just gonna say, Skyfall almost beats this with just her immediate descendants

You can only use one of her sons/daughters, though ... and whichever one you choose, you can only use one of that horse's sons/daughters. And so on and so on. It's tougher than you think.

Do we need to post in similar format?

No. Just list your list (preferably with the earnings for each horse).

I mean, you can add the headshots if you want, but it's not at all mandatory. I did it because it looks good.

Silver Charm - $2,906,500
Symbol - $1,215,200
Conduit - $8,406,000
Loki Dynasty - $4,443,200
Notorious - $3,998,500
Messiah - $5,705,000
Newsroom - $2,425,500
James Dean - $11,256,000
Owl Let you know - $7,568,500
Delirium - $5,028,500

Total - $52952900
The calculation might be wrong.

Ooooooooo hahaha I get it now

Whoa, had no idea Silver Charm actually raced in the SIM. I have to recalibrate my example.

I got the same total. Well done.

Delirium is racing in a million dollar race this week, so it might increase.

I got 50 million at first that's why I thought I made a mistake somewhere.

That brings up a good point ... the last horse in all chains that get posted will get updated totals at the end of the month.

Do we follow dam or sire lines? Sire lines may be a bit easy

Edit: I take that back, lol
