I thought it was time there was a thread for anyone with a gamebred they were really proud off. Immortalise them here with a screenshot. Here's a few of mine to start the thread rolling.
Came with the start of a game. A case of AI imitating life as this stallion would prove the basis for almost all horses I bred in my 2nd generation breeding programme ala Northern Dancer. Eventually I mothballed the whole programme mostly because I came to the conclusion there were certain principles I wanted to follow based on conclusions I'd drawn from this generation of breeding.
The grandaddy of my third generation breeding programme which has led to my hitting a lot more standard CK league times. I'm starting to use selected horses from the second generation for new blood and that too has helped lower my CK trial times especially at 1m where it looked like I was beating my head against a brick wall for a long time.
Will probably be the base of my 4th generation or if not a full blown generation then at least the base of some new sprinting blood I'll be infusing into my 3rd generation breeding. I've toyed around with battling qualities and this stallion will likely be injecting some of that into my lines though there are lots of from my 2nd generation breeding programme that could do so too but I think this is a more elegant one horse solution.
This stallion has been in my stables for awhile now without getting a look in for breeding. Perhaps someday soon he'll get a shot but there isn't anything he has that I don't see being covered by the others above.
The one thing that strikes me is how difficult it is to get good gamebred mares/fillies. Anyone have any of those they want to share? I do have a few but I'll save that for a later post.
and could demonstrate why you had chosen the horse as a basis for breeding.
but I don't think many cottoned on to what I was hinting at. Be interesting to see what horses folk have found after I posted about the method I used in my flat breeding guide.
