Playing on hard. Never expected to win the triple crown. The horse should be good for breeding.
I have played over a 1000 seasons over SO2 SO3 and SO4 and in 20 seasons of S05 I have managed to breed something better than I have ever managed in the other versions. It did help that there was a freak game horse ( who is the sire ) in my game. Bred 16 mares with him ( stud fee 1.3 million. Never seen a fee that high ) But worth it. There are some other superstars from him as well. Probably have a better horse over 1m6f but she won the St Leger in Ireland and avoided him. Most of the other offspring were female and kept them to female only races. He has only been beaten once in the national stakes at 2. Won his maiden over 5f so thought the distance would be ok but ran on too late for 2nd
