Post Should I get excited yet?
Having to start again due to relocation and being without my pc, so only my old laptop. Wasn't expecting much out of the game without my transfer pool of stars, but then in my very first breeding season I've stumbled upon a few good foals including the following colt who ran green in his maiden but still won by three lengths. I've got my fingers crossed that he'll end up a big winner for me (as his sire was the horse that got me enough cash to buy the breeding barn in the first place!) but can anyone see anything that will limit him?

Also by the same sire are two fillies who won their maidens and got higher ratings that I'm cautiously optimistic of for both racing and breeding:

Had a couple of Triple Crown winners, and a couple of decent sprinters in previous games but never had a winner that ran green before. Can't wait to see how they races this season, and if Child Of Glory actually fills the potential bar aged 3! :D

Well from my experience so far - I think your colt should be ok - would be nice if you had a little more cruising burst.
I think Secret Kingdom will be the better of your two fillies.

Yeah I'm a little concerned that a few bars are low, but overall quite happy with him.

Also found another sister (was looking for 'kingdom' not 'glory' haha):

She was "close to being over raced" before she'd even ran her race, but I hate leaving her winless as a 2yo. Might try one more maiden for her and then put her out to grass and just see how she goes next season.

Love how just one group of foals has made me think ten times more about how I'm booking races and trying to plan out potential breeding lines already! :lol:

However far u get with u breeding lines never give up with the gamebred horses because I was buying a few jumpers to see if I could find something new to add to my breeding lines and I found this horse today.

He could certainly add something new to my horses if he's good enough and I think he might have the best jump bars I've seen on a jump gamebred in SO6 . Always keep looking for the one.

Yeah her juvenile condition bar is the shortest I have seen - you'll just have to be patient between runs for now.
The further you go in this game the more things open up - the more things that turn over in your head - and breeding is the big one lol :-)
