Hi all.
Relatively Light user of the game compared to some on here
But since Mark emailed me of the imminent 2014 release of Starters Orders 6, I dug out and Old save game and started playing SO5 like a demon again.

And through all the versions of Starters Orders 1 to 5, I never quite got the triple crown,.... until Snobert did it for me in version 5 this week. Dead proud in a geeky sort of way
I know most of you guys and gals breed triple crown winners in your sleep, but had to share it with the forum.

Here he is in detail

As you can see, bred with a Game horse and one from my barn.

Well done mate the triple crown is not easy got
and a great achievement for anyone
its far tougher than the US version

Just realised those jpegs are hard to view

Here they are enlarged

Looking forward to SO6 in the spring.

Tnx Pj Rhodes

Brilliant its very hard indeed i have not got a triple crown yet i can never get a horse that can adapt to different distances other than 1 or 2 furlongs longer.

Tell me about it.
Most of my previous winners had a distance span of 2-3f tops.
But when i was putting this Snobert thing out on the "in game" gallops with my Older horses and proven G1 winners, it kept beaten them over the 1m 1m4 and 1m6. A freeky type.

Hoping it passes on its bytes to his progeny

Great game

Go "Snobert" - love the name too!

Congratulations on your achievement.

Tnx Buddie

Just completed his demolition season by beating my other Stable star, Spuneshugar in the Prix de L'Arc.

Best I've ever had

Snobert wins the Arc!!




Snobert, he's off to plant his seed




Ok Rant Over.

Im sure he will breed a few nice monsters

Won the us triple crown with a fully who ideally needs 1m4, but never attempted the uk edition, only ever had 1 derby winner and 1 2000
guineas winner, all my better horses are older horses, stayers or fillies. Anyone done the French triple crown(not quite the same challenge
particularly in the game compared to real life)?-prix du jockey club, grand prix de Paris, prix de l'arc de triomphe

This should be the french triple crown now this is a real challenge

Poule d'Essai des Poulains (French 2,000 Guineas) 1 Mile April
Prix de l'arc de triomphe 1m4 October
Prix Royal-Oak 1m7 1/2 November

Thats the next challenge so, French Tripple

De Sousa cruelly jocked off for the Arc!

Just kidding, well done buddy

Not been playing the game much lately but got my closest so far to a horse with some versatility, not quite the same as those shown here but a had a filly whose a cross of my best 2 lines win the guineas, French oaks and Irish oaks, the last the most impressively after I thought she would be limited to 1m2 maximum.
