Halley has retired with a record of 35: 12-5-8 and earnings of $1,343,000. Congratulations to It's Giving Slay for her win in the Synthetic Speed! Autumn can confirm with everyone that of the horses I predicted to be the top six, five of them were in the top six (and were the top five - though I didn't predict an order of finish as it was such a tough field!)
*Morgan Freeman voice* She is not in fact interested in pursuing steeplechasing.

Halley is a mama. I let the randomizer select everything except that I wanted the foal to also be a dark bay. Takes after Halley in soundness (very sound) and heart (brave).

Can't wait to see what she does! Neither can her "stalker" lol
Her sister from just the mister?

Halley's first foal, Sally Ride, is a stakes late bloomer, very sound, brave, and breeding shed comment! She was the only foal I was truly nervous about galloping.
Halley was also originally a stakes late bloomer, so Sally Ride is identical to her in stats in almost every way: Halley was a longer career mare, so the yearling has her one-upped in that sense!

Now to stress all over again about what to do with her this year - at least I have time!

Laughed a bit at seeing some B+ steeplechase ratings! Maybe one of her foals will give it a go over fences at some point

Halley is nominated for two Simmy Awards - All Weather Champion Older Female and All Weather Champion Sprinter! I look at some of the names she's alongside and even though she had such a good year and set a record time, I still feel some level of imposter syndrome seeing a horse I bred and raced even being on those ballots
Good girl, big mare. <3

Thank you to everyone who voted my girl All Weather Champion Older Female and All Weather Champion Sprinter in Year 66 <3

Halley's first foal, Sally Ride, now has an absolutely stunning headshot.
Even if she winds up being a 'sad stakes,' which I'm hoping not, and hoping she may bloom to a freak like her mother, she does have the breeding shed comment, so she may earn the headshot in the broodmare barn if she doesn't on the track!
