We'll be able to breed our mares once the year officially begins, which, for those who don't own crack stallions, is a good thing. My suggestions for the most productive ways to spend your money:
1) Buy a few good horses when they start appearing on the sales page. If you're not a very competent breeder, I'd recommend sticking to colts who have opportunities to race in richer races and earn some money with which you can begin to acquire fillies.
2) Disregard all the junk that used to be in your stable. We've had two years to remove the sentimental attachments to horses that, at the end of the day, couldn't run. Don't be in a hurry to restock your barn with bottom-feeders, especially since, this time around, you're hopefully a little bit more knowledgable and aren't buying horses simply to have horses. Someone who knows what they're talking about put it best the other night: "A horse no longer has the potential to do something once he has proven he cannot do that thing." Don't go overboard trying to get back your old stable, because if you stop and think about it, there are probably very few horses that you really want back.
3) Thisjetsinlove, if I remember correctly (and I'm not 100% sure, the DB is down but I can check it later) was by Real Quiet. Real Quiet has never set the SIM on fire with his abilities as a stallion and there's no reason to think he will this time around. So ignoring her specifically, if you want a horse with similar lines, the best you'll be able to do is pick out a stallion who is a son of Mr. Prospector or Unbridled, given that Real Quiet was a male-line descendant of Mr. Prospector (Real Quiet-Quiet American-Fappiano-Mr. Prospector), as is Unbridled (as a son of Fappiano). Breed a competent mare to one of these stallions (if you do some research, you can probably pick out a mare from the sale page with lines specifically suited for a cross to one of the stallions, but you'll have to do that research).
Horses that might fit the bill are Empire Maker (by Unbridled), to whom I intend on sending my very good dirt route mare Parade, Fusaichi Pegasus (by Mr. Prospector), who is the sire of the very good Loki Masterpiece, among others, or Eddington (a son of Unbridled). Flower Alley would also fit the bill, he's a son of Distorted Humor, in turn a son of the Mr. Prospector runner Forty Niner.
Anyway, time to kick back and relax for a few weeks while Em goes to South America, no need to be worried about this yet!
