Re: Separate DS freak thread please
A player sent the layaway program a nice little DS mare that happened to be free of WOGS. My first thought was to go to that line, but every possible pairing produced crazy inbreeding to other horses, so I sent her to Elite Power to get some vigor back into the pedigree. I think this division might be getting a little "short" (distance-wise) and "thin" (diversity-wise). We could use another like California Chrome, Elite Power, etc. I think Flightline is maybe supposed to help with this a bit but he's pricey. JMHO

Re: Separate DS freak thread please
It seems to me that the overall freak count is down in all divisions. 2 seasons ago, I had 5 freaks, last season I had 2 and this season, alas, none. But lots of late bloomers, so there’s always hope.
Best of luck to all!

Re: Separate DS freak thread please
Gunite hypos as good as any DS stallion available right now, and the Steward already has sent 3 DS mares to him in 2 seasons. 1 being a freak, and the other two are ungalloped yearlings. Gunite is also 1/3rd the price of Flightline.Kelly Haggerty wrote: ↑1 month ago A player sent the layaway program a nice little DS mare that happened to be free of WOGS.

2/3. He is 100K currently and Flightline is 150K. I used him the past two years but won't be touching him at 100K.

Less freaks huh?
Well, when you never have bred one this phenomenon is undetectable... everything's fine here!

Re: Separate DS freak thread please
Is this not what we as a community were kinda wanting? It's been a sim-long battle since I've joined of having lesser and lesser "fake" freaks, stakes, "wow" gallops, whatever you want to call them. I think its maybe an indicator that this shift of gallops more recently is hopefully evening out.Nick Gilmore wrote: ↑1 month ago It seems to me that the overall freak count is down in all divisions. 2 seasons ago, I had 5 freaks, last season I had 2 and this season, alas, none.

I'm not nearly as present as I should/want to be, so maybe thats just my narrow perspective.

He was under a short lease to someone else. His price is already back at 45k as it was. No worries.Nicole Marie wrote: ↑1 month ago2/3. He is 100K currently and Flightline is 150K. I used him the past two years but won't be touching him at 100K.

You’re right on Abby. I was making a statement, not complaining. I’m all for accuracy in all we do…now if only our blue hen mares were actually ‘blue hens’.

Re: Separate DS freak thread please
Sadly, no DS freaks for ne which is disappointing. Hopefully, some of the late bloomers will come good

Re: Separate DS freak thread please
No DS freaks for me, even though it was a big DS foal crop, and I had 5 TB freaks in other divisions.
Em said the current racing crop of 4yo and over colts was 'meh'. Hopefully there are some rockstars among the 2 and 3yo colts this season or the stallion roster will suffer as some of the older stalwarts start to pension.

Re: Separate DS freak thread please
i serioulsy think all us DS players got it up the ..... this year and thats not right i understand that Freaks are a percentage thing but they cant all be in AW with Loyde and DR and a few other divisions something needs to be adjusted because no way some of the biggest DS breeders are coming up empty and dont give me the late bloomer stuff cause by then the DS career is over !!
this needs to be fixed its a total shame!
