I agree with that!
Iād like to see studs from inactive stables up for grabs but with a restriction on number purchased - 1 or max 2 per stable.
Totally on board with this.
Me too! Maybe I could finally get my first stud!
Good idea that
I like that idea too.
Iāve set up an auction for all the studs owned by stables that havenāt logged in since 2023 - 10 studs in total.
Iāve set the limit to 1 stud per stable but if everyone buys one and there are still studs up, Iāll increase to 2.
I canāt remember how auctions with a horse limit works. Are we allowed to bid on more than that limit (in this case 1) and, if we reach the limit of successful bids, any continuing auctions we may be high bidder on, our bid disappears? Or, once we are high bidder in one auction, does the system block us from bidding on any other horses in the auction?
I think that if you are the current highest bidder on a horse, then you canāt bid on another. If the limit is 5, then you can hold the highest bidder on 5, but you canāt bid on a sixth until someone out bids you on one other. I think this is right?
Thanks. Thatās what I thought.
@Shanthi Is there any chance of adding Melander Stevens to the auction? Heās another inactive Gantās Farm and is stud-qualified, but still racehorse status at 9 years old.
Also from Gant is Wing Commander who needs 1 SW to qualify.
He actually isnāt stud-qualified as he hasnāt won any G1 races.
Well, close enough.
Congratulations to everyone who managed to bring home a new stallion through the auction!
Iām very excited to bring home Franco Classico as the first stallion ever for Gotapa racing. Spend a little bit of time figuring out the controls of arranging breedings and nominating stallions as well as re-arranging some of my breeding plans to send some mares to him.
Iām looking forward to campaigning him as a stud but I donāt have a lot of horses by him yet. If anyone has any racehorses/yearling/weanlings by him that theyāre looking to part ways with feel free to send me a PM because Iām likely interested in purchasing them!
Congrats to all the new owners.
Iāll see about doing similar auctions for racers/babies/broodmares in the coming weeks.
