Sorry guys. I retired Jedi Assembly. H ejust was not performing. Racing him two "years" now (a year on the game is 3 months real time) and he has not won and has not progressed past allowance level. :>( Good news is that Force Lightning is at Grade 1! wOOt! I have a lot of new horsies now. Just retired Bespin and Silver Linings and mated them and got ... Cloud City ... to race next year Check it out: game.equination.net/pub_stable.php?sid=19634 |

As a trainer, or owner, you're doing pretty good, some owners never have a winner at a stakes level, and go from claimer to claimer.

Man this is drivong me nuts! I finally joined this site as a Premium member so I can hopefully do better, and now the site's been down for a month! I have been in contact with the owner who is having trouble getting a new site to host. She found one place but they didn't know what they were doing so now she's out $500! So its going to be down at least anpther 2-4 weeks! Argh! I hope she at least compensates premium members for their lost time, but I don't know if she will or not. She's very young and kind of moody.

In the 1970s I followed horse raing fanatically. Of course then there were some really good horses: Secretariat, Seattle Slew, Affirmed, Forego, Spectacular Bid. As the 80s progressed it became harder and harder to find a good horse. I follow horse racing now, but not as much as I did. But I always wanted tobe a trainer or jockey. So when I found that game, I jumped in. And I'm having fun too and I love naming my horses Star Wars stuff

Yeah, the years from Northern Dancer to the late 70's/early 80's were great, now we get a lot of hype but not much horse. But,at least 2 good horseracing movies this past year, Seabiscuit & Hidalgo, different types of races but both based on real horses. My 1st horse had been a "dirt track" racer (sort of a slightly cleaned up version of the 1st race in Seabiscuit, no holds barred type thing) she was over 30 when I got her, but when she decided to run, wow! Mouth like iron and no stopping her, I learned quick to bail off before the barn door. I've totally lost track of racing for the last several years, wish I had more time.

LOL. Thanks. That's what keeps me from sellingthem all off! I just changed a couple of names of my yearlins. Venganza de los Sith is now Krayt Dragon; and Zonoma Sekot is now Onslaught (after the NJO book)
