The nervous weeks
With the two-year-old routers debuting from week 10 onwards, it is a nervy time for many players.
You can win first time out but then next time out face fellow winners and your horse gets taken out of his/her comfort zone and cannot live with the opposition but maybe time and experience can bring out what you hoped for. Or your hot prospect did not even show up on debut.
Which horses are you all looking forward to most? Winners and losers all worth a mention.

Jessie Murph
I dont like routers, except for when they can also do a mile, and this girl cant route but I'm posting her anyways. I have high hopes that shes similar to her father with what he did at a mile.

Re: The nervous weeks
Thanks for putting her up, I see the horse who beat Jessie Murp last time out, has won again so that is really strong form.

Re: The nervous weeks
I'd say Merci Au Revoir, Nostradamus and Shake Ya Tailfeather. Two already with Stakes in their debuts, and one who won his second race. So, I have my hopes up for them x'3

Re: The nervous weeks
I Bought him earlier today and his debut is set for next week, he's by far my best 2 y.o.
Only a little bit nervous because I don't want to fail and mismanage him, I'm mostly exited to see what he can do.
I have high hopes for him and I'm a newbie, so he's A Newb Hope

Re: The nervous weeks
I see you have made an excellent start to your SIM barn, impressive strike rates for a new player. Let's hope A Newb Hope can get off to a great start too!Elkippos Larysios wrote: ↑6 months ago I Bought him earlier today and his debut is set for next week, he's by far my best 2 y.o.

Re: The nervous weeks
I've got Almagest going up into the week 13 friday thunderdome, so that's a bit nerve wracking thinking about
My other 2yo freak router Kiss Me Forever is going to try to break her maiden again on the same day, hopefully it goes better for her

Re: The nervous weeks
I had high hopes for Starlord (Starfall has yet to give me a really fancy baby ) but he took two tries to break his maiden.
Warcry was a pleasant surprise though!

Re: The nervous weeks
Infinity Stones is only a stakes at the moment, but she's 2 for 2 and I adore her whole family. She's a bloomer, so I have some high hopes for her!

Leased Steward-Owned daughter of the great Exodus will be making a start in Graded Stakes company on Friday. She's a Freak but her debut SF was a little lackluster, so we shall see.

Re: The nervous weeks
I had several debut like gangbusters and then lose their moxie 2nd time out. I still have hopes for this leased daughter of I Am Nightraider who popped a 94 on her debut yet remains a maiden after two starts https://www.simhorseracing.com/horse.ph ... ID=1687740
Also this stakes progressive https://www.simhorseracing.com/horse.ph ... ID=1674356 and this freak https://www.simhorseracing.com/horse.ph ... ID=1673698 haven't done anything wrong just yet.
