Just in case anyone was curious, the highest earning mare in history is ... timid. Our lovely assistant trainer is 'not sure she has a truly winning spirit.' :D

Someone please show me what this mare looks like *with* a winning spirit!

The key with her is that there's one race and one week each year when she just can't figure out life, and its the Arc. We'll try again. :D

I'd like to post appreciation for those that post - even the nonsensical ones at times, not to mention the trainers on this thread. I know I must have shaved 5/10/15/20 sim years of frustration off of my ever learning curves in placement, breeding, acquisition - you name it in the SIM...

Y'all keep being Y'all!

But, I still disagree with the timids unless they are just overpowering horses, like this one apparently.

What a mare! She’s been so fun to follow. She’s going to win the Arc for you next year, I just know it!

It’s funny… An all-time great of a different breed came through my barn recently on lease, and she happens to be “timid” (major emphasis on the quotations) too.

Don't take what I say for granted. 🤣 I might be one of the longest tenured players in the sim but that doesn't mean Im the smartest.

Sometimes I add value, sometimes I just write a lot of words to no effect. Can never tell which.

She does have an incredible stud as well. Lol improvisational is my first ever mega stud and ties in so much of the in game family lines so its really nice that you were able to bring in the real life lines Hopefully she can produce a top stud for all of us to help diversify the division even more.

I know how amazing it is to have a fabulous filly/mare that can take on any of the guys - it's a special feeling and Signaling is a special mare, indeed.

I think in this division, you are the only one who can say that with a straight face! Olive Branch is a heck of a standard to measure up to.

True. I didn’t mean my post to be an exhaustive list but I know others can make the claim as well

I heard one guy in the game say they didn’t think filly’s should compete in the big races.
