I’m going to be having twenty or so new girls joining broodmare band and would love to cross them with hot off the track studs if anyone has new boys that are qualified!
I’m trying. Just can’t seem to secure those last few wins -

All have 1 or 2 more wins to make it, heaps lined up on 4 wins too. It’s tough to qualify.
I’ve retired a handful this year who fell 1 win short too

That’s rough. Sometimes I wish we could lower the stud requirements by 1 win, because I feel like that happens to a lot of horses. It would be nice to have a few more stud options to prevent inbreeding over time. Good luck to your horses, hopefully they can pull off that last win!

I also have two needing 1 more SW. Just waiting for the right race.

It is tough meeting qualifications. I’ve retired a couple boys who would’ve made good studs but they fell short and I tried everything. Putting them in allowances to build their confidence, switching jockeys/equipment/track. Nothing seemed to work.

I think it would be great if we had a couple ways for colts to qualify for stud. I think needing the G1 requirements should stay but I would say even 5 wins is plenty if they also still have X amount of stakes placings in total. Our stallion count keeps going down and the broodmare count keeps going up

Maybe we could have it where you need 7 SW (including 1 G1W) and 10 SP (including 2 G1P) like we have now but, if the horse doesn’t have 7 SW, for every SW under the 7, it has to have an additional 3SP (but only down to 5 SW).
Below is an example of what I’m suggesting:-
7 SW (1G1W) + 10 SP (2G1P) or
6 SW (1G1W) + 13 SP (2 G1P) or
5 SW (1G1W) + 16 SP (3 G1P)
