Re: Roughian
I absolutely love Improvisational for her, I hope this colt winds up a freak! I hope the slide is good to him. I think Roughian has just had some bad luck with the slide with a few of her offspring. Maybe this time that luck will turn. You really cannot beat it pedigree wise.

Since I have permission to say this...Nicole Marie wrote: ↑10 months ago I absolutely love Improvisational for her, I hope this colt winds up a freak! I hope the slide is good to him. I think Roughian has just had some bad luck with the slide with a few of her offspring. Maybe this time that luck will turn. You really cannot beat it pedigree wise.
Nicole sent a number of her broodmares to my stallions, Mal and Tuck Everlasting. The stud fees pumped my account up enough that I could breed Roughian, pay that $2 Million, the $80,000 stud fee and the $30,000 insurance on the foal. I had the funds to breed her but my account would have been very very low...but now I feel comfortable about getting into next season without Sim money issues.
I shouldn't be by now, but I'm still often amazed at the kindness displayed by players in this game. I have my better mares already bred or leased out, but Nicole will get a free lease on one of Roughian's daughters next season. Both Turn To Stone and In The Air have foaled stakes types, so hopefully, with a free lease, on one of those mares, she'll get a stakes or a freak for her efforts in helping me out. Plus I have another nice mare lined up for her as a free lease.
Thanks Nicole, I appreciate the help. You saved me a lot of time from sitting in the computer chair with my bad back and having to write articles to raise funds

Re: Roughian
You are very sweet, Stormy. Your stallions are great and so supporting them is the least I could do after you were so kind to lease me Outlawed a couple years ago.

Re: Roughian
For those who are curious enough to read this thread. Outlawed is the full sibling to Roughian. : )Nicole Marie wrote: ↑9 months ago You are very sweet, Stormy. Your stallions are great and so supporting them is the least I could do after you were so kind to lease me Outlawed a couple years ago.
Nicole's filly, Jane Mckeene, like my new Roughian colt, is sired by Improvisational.
Jane Mckeene, at the moment is 2 years old and ran 4 races this year, the first in a sprint, the 2nd race at a mile, and her last 2 races were routes. And even though sprints and mile races are not really the distances she should be running at, she still earned money in those 2 races : ) Nicole used them to help Jane McKeene build fitness and experience.
Her first route was at 1 1/16 miles and she finished 4th.
However, in her last race, at 1 1/8th miles, Jane Mckeene broke her maiden in an Allowance race, and she did so with a respectable 84 Speed Figure.
Jane Mckeene
Love her headshot!
So I think she's really going to like the little bit longer routes and I am hoping she will upgrade to a stakes or freak in her 3 year old season.
Congrats on that maiden win being in an Allowance race, Nicole : )
And also with my colt.
I usually don't do this until they are yearlings or 2 year olds. But I vetted him for soundness.
Turns out he's taking after his mama....Somewhat Unsound.
I am not fretting about that at all. Roughian was fine at being Somewhat unsound.
And I check to see what kind of Heart he had.
I'm very very happy to see he has a Brave Heart.
Roughian was "Interested"

Re: Roughian
Jane being allowance late bloomer, I'm hoping she will bloom up a level or two! I had asked when I ordered her headshot to make her resemble Improvisational, because I'm obsessed with him as a sire, and so she, like him, has a broad star and the defined cheekbone. Sometimes I click on her page and then click on his to watch the headshot 'switch' because I really think you can see the family resemblance and I love that.
She is sound, and interested, so her new cousin (is there a word for when full sisters have foals by the same stallion? I don't want to say 'sister cousin', lol) has her one upped in the heart department. I don't know how much heart really factors in, but even if only by coincidence, all of my best horses have been 'brave'.

Re: Roughian
Roughian foaled a Freak!
I named him JOHN WICK
Late Bloomer, Loves Dry, Brave heart, Somewhat Unsound.
The somewhat unsound doesn't bother me, Roughian was such, and I never had any issues in scheduling her into the races I wanted her in.
I wonder now, if maybe I was wrong in choosing fillies more often than not. Her first foal, a colt, Billy Jack, was born a stakes, and I think he would have done much better if he hadn't peaked stakes as a yearling : (
In the Racing Forum - the Yr65 Freaks thread - I said that:
I hoped John Wick will be a killer on the track...a down right ruffian who terrorizes everyone. : )
He will be too, if he takes after his parents. Improvisational was a great racer!

Re: Roughian
Congrats to John Wick for running 2nd in a sprint! I threw a random horse of mine in that race so I'd not have to remember to check the result. Hopefully that'll help give him the fitness and experience necessary to kick some booty when the route races start.

Re: Roughian
Nicole, Thanks : )
I am hoping John Wick will like the longer distances, and I really hope he doesn't bloom as a 3 year old. He's a freak late bloomer, so I would rather see him do that as a 4 year old... or at Least not do so until Wk9 of this coming season.
Roughian News.
Lily Wilkens contacted me last year wishing to get a Roughian foal. Because it's costing so much to save her, I gave Lily a free lease. It was $8 Million this year. Next year it will be $16 Million.
This is the filly she got from Roughian:
Magic Wand
I wish her the very best with this filly!
I doubt anyone will want to pay $16 Million to save Roughian this coming season, so I will breed her myself...and hit the $20,000 to keep her alive but pensioned. I'm not sure if there is any chance she will survive the foaling, given she's been 'paid to be protected' since age 12, but that would be a hoot if she did. She will be 16 years old this coming season.
