I entered a handicap C2 hack into a 2400m race, it finished down the track in a boring mid week meeting. When i finished with the races for the day I was taken to the auction screen where i came across the best current horse in the game right now.



This thing has won 13 group 1's to date from 1400m to 2400m and its a stallion to boot

What is the best horse you have purchased mid season

afferd 6f sprinter won over 5o g1s for me

in starters orders 4 I bought a stallion worth about 5,000,000 bucks... Had won around 15 group 1's and a few group 2's and 3's...

Sent him straight to the breeding barn and was able to produce hundreds of terrific racers, broodmares and stallions...

In Starters Orders I purchased a two time Arc winner (he won both the Arcs for me, and he is a cool stud too) and a brilliant stayer.

bought a 10 yr old stallion for 6 mil 32-2-1 called baby elli hes now 20 i never ran him but hes the main stock of every decent 1m2f/1m4f horse ive bred

I have learned to check the auction every single week now. It takes patience and discipline not to click past it, but every now and then you can find a grade winner and have an instant breeding part fixture.
But you also have to be careful. I go into the auctions and see 2 yo's who have yet to race and drop 2.5 million on them and bring them home only to find out that they are best suited for a life of having a plough attached to them.
I usually waste 6-8 million a season on these horses.

It is probably just sample size and bad luck but I have yet to pick up a decent horse in a mid season auction that is an un-raced two year old.

i never buy 2yos i breed 30 a year as it is so no room

I don't know how you handle 30 2yos and find them races! I get around 20 a year, don't enter them for races until I'm making my ascot declarations and struggle to get them all a maiden race

i will be breeding 60 this year because there is alot of g1 stallions one even with 11 g1 wins it cost 2mil just to breed it to one mare..still on season 5 in so4 i play really slowly and watch every race and bet on every race even seller races..been playing 7 months..i have so5 and im on patch 13..just waiting to get it patched up more just downloading mods for it in the mean time...
