Re: Goodbye
I always admired Kris and her terrific barn. Like others, I did not get to talk with her much, but she was always kind. I know she donated lots of the prizes on various and assorted big race night give aways. I do hope she will get to come back to the SIM one day.

Re: Goodbye
I didn't know Kris at all, but it's always sad to see someone leave. I hope all is well and that we'll see her back sometime soon!

Re: Goodbye
Saddened to see this, I've always admired Kris and how well she ran her stable as a trainer and as a breeder of some of the very best horses. I didn't kno her at all otherwise but I know she will be missed.

Re: Goodbye
Maybe you just need better friends - or at least you need better friends who decide to quit. By the looks of it a handful of people walked away with 8-9 figure paydays.

Re: Goodbye
Oaks/Derby winner same year not to long ago and I hit 7mil on her contest. Gave me a nice boost to be where I'm at today. I love Kirs and will miss her, there was no yearling sale like a Kris Bobby sale!!
She will be missed no doubt

Re: Goodbye
Carolyn I did some digging and over the last two seasons she gave away I would say 80-90 percent of her barn to the same 4 players and trust me they did not need more nice horses !
Far above the 30 percent allowed hence why there is not player dispersal auction !
Well at least the Steward will get her 280 mill out of the game as she is always looking for ways to get money out of players hands unless that magically gets shared as well !

Absolutely hilarious to me that she gave Acid Test to Eric Nalbone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDMu2G9SFsk&t=1h14m45s - opinions can change I guessXander Zone wrote: ↑4 months ago Carolyn I did some digging and over the last two seasons she gave away I would say 80-90 percent of her barn to the same 4 players and trust me they did not need more nice horses !

Re: Goodbye
Isn't it quite obvious what the connection between me and Acid Test is, and why Kris made the decision she did? Just follow the tail female family back into my barn.
For the record, I didn't ask for nor expect him, and I'm happy to be accommodating with him. If you can't afford him (legitimately, like your bank account is <$2m) and have a star or better mare, please message me and I'll give you a free breeding. The spirit that Kris played the game with is one I'd like to encourage and carry forward, generosity towards others is never unrewarded when it helps bolster and build the community.

Re: Goodbye
Really don’t care one way or another, but just feel compelled to point out that the obvious connection following the female family takes me to his dam who I campaigned (and should have come back to me after Art quit but that’s another story) and his 2nd dam who is the foundation broodmare of my barn.Eric Nalbone wrote: ↑4 months ago Isn't it quite obvious what the connection between me and Acid Test is, and why Kris made the decision she did?
