Headshot Shoutout

Post by The Steward »

I'm not going to out the person publicly unless they want to be outed, but someone (not the usual suspect) went and bought a few headshots of some Dirt Sprinters that are old school.

For example, Alacazam, who I've been trying to get a headshot for LITERAL YEARS, and Look I Am Scary.

But I'm posting because they also got one for Infinite Fury, who was just posted. Infinite Fury is an OG, winning G1s in SIM Year 5. He ended up having a VERY limited stud career which is too bad. But the reason I got all excited is because he is horse ID 16 IN THE WHOLE SIM. But because the first 10 spots in the database were for test horses, Sports Jersey - ID #11 - is the first horse in the database, which makes Infinite Fury the 6th. I LOVE this.

We aren't supposed to have headshots of the real horses technically, but we ended up doing the very original foundation horses to make them look better on pedigree pages, so if anyone ever wanted to get Brilliantly, who was a 1998 Baffert star IRL but an original turf mile foundation sire in the SIM, that would be cool.

THANKS TO THIS PERSON! Feel free to out yourself.

They are all gorgeous but the one for Look I Am Scary is AMAZING!

So glad he got a headshot - Tons of pedigrees are going to have that perfect headshot in them now!
