A+ Nicks in The DR Division

[Lily Wilkins]

I know nicks aren’t everything, but I’m curious to know if a mare who nicks A+ to 18 studs is considered an anomaly, or if that’s becoming the average experience with recently retired mares since there’s so many nice studs right now.

I have a handful of mares in my barn who can get A+ grades, but it’s usually only with the top one or two nicking stallions in the division (VOF, for example). But, I have a newly retired filly who has so far managed to get 18 A+ grades. Even Quinny, who is an A or A- to my other mares, is an A+ with this mare.

I believe it is becoming more normal with certain mares who might have a very high breeding number. I can name several who hypo just like that. Worth noting some are extremely awesome and don't miss, some produce offspring who couldn't outrun *me*. The best mare in my barn does not hypo like this, and I'd take her over a mare who hypos A+ to every stallion in the division.

I have Spicy who I ended up checking mass check with. She’s got over 160 A+ crosses. She’s the only one I’ve got or seen though.

She might be a harness horse with that many A+ crosses.

Time to nerf DR studs.

I got curious and I decided to mass hypo my mare, and she has 130 A+ nicks.
Spicy sounds like she’s in a league all her own, can’t wait to see what she does for you, Cleo!

Five years ago if I saw a single A+ hypo I'd flip out. Now I'm seeing many on the top mares I retire. Doesn't mean the mares aren't nice, just far from unique anymore.

I've still never seen one...I'd flip out!

This made me laugh out loud!

I did flip out! My first A+ hypo (and only one in the DR) happened 2 seasons ago. And I have been playing since 2008.
So if I see just a single A+ hypo, I flip out!

[Jon Xett]

I think I have mass hypo-mated 1 of my mares. No A+ hypos.

Two SIM years ago, I got my first A+ hypo and I flipped out.

My 3 year old A+ hypo-mated colt's race record as of Year 65, Week is 6: 0-3-1; so I have flipped back in.

The hypo-mate rating is the carrot, however -> 11,001 other SIM variables is the reality. That is the beauty of SIMHorseRacing.

The Steward: Love horse racing.


No guarantee quotes that I like:

Elton John: I think that to a very great extent we are partners with the divine in this enterprise called history. That is an ongoing relationship, and there is absolutely no guarantee that things will automatically work out to our best advantage.

Chaim Potok There's no guarantee of winning, even if you are the best players and the best team.

Kevin Hart : Success isn't supposed to happen, no matter how hard you work. There's no guarantee you're going to succeed. There's nothing set in stone.

I was recently excited by a formidable who hypo'd an "A" , A+ is few and far between for me

[Erin Sanderson]

A+ TB nicks are still few and far between for me. Browncoat's half sister is the only one I currently have with multiple A+ hypos.

[Carole Hanson]

Only A+ I’ve seen is in the TR division hah!

Yet to get myself an A+ DR mare
