Post The ones that got away
Decided to start a thread for those that want to share the horse(s) that they have bred, and for whatever reason decided they weren't good enough to grace your stable....only to find out they were going to haunt you, beat you and just down out right frustrate you for the coming seasons.

In my current game my 5-7f horses are poor. I have really struggled to pick up any major G1 wins with them, so you can understand my pride (due to me breeding her) and my absolute feeling of wanting to face palm myself all over the place when you see Alka Maid's career so far :(

The only 2 races she hasn't won have been because the trainer decided to put her in two 1 miler races /slap

It's a pain but at least you still have a shot to get her bred from the breeding barn and still have her save file for future breeding.

The ones I have lost over the last year.. not many that I regret but there have been one or two which were saved to ttf.dat and then I misplaced/lost the ttf.dat file. And in that situation gone is gone. Just last week I thought I had lost Yima as the ttf.dat file for her was 0 bytes. However I did find a copy of it on my work PC so all's well there :).

I had the chance yesterday to buy a 22G1 winning Gamebred in the Auction about 5 seasons into a new game but I got too trigger happy with the skip lot button.... Wasn't a happy bunny :twisted:

I do the same as above, I normally have more than enough money to not sell them so if they haven't come good by the end of the 3yo season they are retired!
