Just a question to pose to
everybody… I’m in a pedigree analyzing mood…
I know there aren’t that many overall
generations of horses in FF yet… perhaps three at best… but… out of curiousity… How
do you feel broodmare sires affect our horses?
I’ll say that I think I’ve noticed some
significant individuals… Secretariat copies over from the real world as a fabulous
broodmare sire; my 2 y/o colt Best Kept Secret is really solid… He’s out of a Secretariat
mare… (got a pretty nice sales ring pedigree there RMF!..
…
Has anyone else noticed
any others? I’d say Rogue too… but he’s a given… and a super-horse besides……
I’m anxious to see how my Hollywood mares do…
Does anybody have any favorites?
Can’t
wait to see the responses!
I have deff. noticed a trend
with Secretariat broodys…I mean I know that Secret Summer has had some nice babies.
That’s the main reason I decided to lease Summer Lovin’…I’m hopeing that the grand sires
have a good effect too. I’m thinking that any pedegree with a proven sire has a chance of
passing that dominant gene along. I think it’s just the luck of the draw to see if they
have it or not. For example…Miss Hayday…I know she’s a broodmare, not a sire, but my
concept is that she is a spectacular broodmare. She passes her gene on to all her babies but
it doesn’t seem to be dominant in that her babies aren’t able to produce great, great
runners…at least not yet. Her gene seems to stop at her offspring and not go on from
there…I see an switched effect happening with the Secretariat lines.
And once Shanthi gets
breeding done, this’ll all actually exist instead of just being freaky, unplanned AI Of
course, generally when we tell it to do stuff cool like have broodmare sires, it stops :-/
Ah well
