				  Best Stayer I've Had For a While  
					
						 
Not had one as consistent at so many distances. Can't wait for her 6yo season and then her foals.
 She is by a Two time Ascot Gold Cup winner and 7 times G1 winner Regal Royal and Out of Quinny a 2 time Melbourne Cup winner.
 The Dam's Sire is Northern Flyer my first Melbourne Cup winner

Keep us informed by how her foals get on, you never know you might find one even better.

						The melbourne Cup is a notoriously easy staying race to win though, it's meant to be a handicap, but, it's not in the game, therefore if you enter a good stayer in it you should win it. As I see your stayer was rated 130 then she would have been a bang on certainty      Not meaning to piss on your bonfire, and her other wins are admirable      A little query, I notice you ran a whole season in less than a day? it takes me several weeks to run a season (combined, with usually nearly 100 horses in the yard)

I have a very select breeding system for instance i have noticed that the sires of most of my best horses are 8+ group 1 winners so i only retire sires that fall into that category i then give them so many attempts to produce and if they don't there gone if they do they stay for instance i have 4 sires atm. With broodmares i have 9 atm and to get in the barn they have to win 4+ group 1 and be consistent throughout there career (till they are at the end of there 3yo career). If they are not i will retire them to my jumps game (only if they stay over 1m1f) if they don't they will be sold. This means i usually have 4 older horses 12 3yo and 12 2yo (my 2yo only run 3 times a season to get maximum progression at 3 by not over racing them) to start a season but by the end its usually 3 older 4 3yo and 12 2yo with only 7 horses to place it means season go by quick. Hope that answered your question. And with your comments on it not being a good group 1 i play my own schdule and have preped it with the Royal Oak Doncaster Cup and Caufield Cup to give the best field possible.

						 100 horses lol I would struggle with that lot.  Here is a question.  How do you decide to run your horses?  do you place  in a race for each period of the calander?
 
 I wouldnt know if i was over racing or underacing my horses.

I'd get used to the fixtures after a while and then know what races to run my horses in. I only race my horses if there green condition bar is near the top or all the ways to the top and there fitness is at the top. Usually 3-4 weeks for a Stayer, 2-3 for a sprinter or Miler etc.
