17 seasons in and I've had six shots at the American triple crown. Six failures including one injured before the Belmont. I even beat myself with one of my own horses too.

It's always the Belmont. Never the other way around. I had one who won the first two but didn't stay it out, and then I thought I'd have it the other way around when I lost the Kentucky derby by a head after getting caught on the line, then won the Preakness and the derby, and then he underperformed in the Belmont. I think I hadn't given him enough rest, as when I next raced him after a bit of rest in the Grand Prix de Paris he romped home, but then underperformed in the king george. |

In my case my breeding line starts to become less effective at 1m-3f. 1m-4f is really pushing it and it shows its ugly head every running of the Belmont. |

In my main game( my US only Game) I've decided to introduce some British Stallion's/Mares into it because the game doesn't have enough stamina based horses. I'm going to breed my speed based US horses to my Stamina based british Horses. |

Chocolate Mocha looks like the one to be on. Did it ever stand at stud? |
