Festivus Disappointment
Definitely my worst breeding year ever.
Two Stakes. No Freaks.
Pretty brutal. Definitely time to spend some time away from the game. Hope others did better.

Re: Festivus Disappointment
I think the gallop comment is now recalibrated and that makes your yls look worse. The older horses get downgraded too

Re: Festivus Disappointment
My freak 2yo, first freak I ever bred (who I didn't have lofty hopes for or anything, it was just exciting to have bred one) is now a stakes, and my stakes progressive is now allowance progressive. At least the stakes LB is still stakes LB, so I seem to have actually done something right with her.

Re: Festivus Disappointment
Always good when you breed 5 freaks and 4 get downgraded as 2 yr olds. Plus now if a stud gets lucky and sires a freak their percentage could be much more misleading. Congrats on ruining things. Absolutely hate these changes

Re: Festivus Disappointment
I understand your frustration but chill a little bit on the personal hate comments towards the steward. The words “congrats on ruining thing” is pretty harshRyan Whitehead wrote: ↑1 year ago Always good when you breed 5 freaks and 4 get downgraded as 2 yr olds.

Re: Festivus Disappointment
I have to say... I'm not that dissapointed. I was at first, until I realized that the Steward had modified the numbers down. Of course, it' not funny to get 12 Chase Freaks, when I had 103 2 y old Chase Freaks last year. But it was a very needed thing to do! And I personally love the change and the new comments! But of course, I didn't get ANY flatracing freaks at all this year. And I´ve spent millons on breeding, and I personally thinks I'm breeding better and better horses. (at least A- in TBs, and mostly A+ in mixers) But well, I have to use what I have, and it usually goes pretty well...
