My Life As a Simnewbie: part 5
My life as a Simnewbie
Part 5 : welcoming the new guests
Like I told in the last chapter I did not have any racing this week, but I was on the watchout for some claimers.
First of all I have been looking at the auction and managed to pick up one horse. I really am not found of the auction as a newbie and what I picked up is not so good. At least I picked this one up for one dollar so if he gives me a fifth place then I should be happy.
49276: Backdoor Draw
This is a 3y old colt which has 11 races under his belt. Aside from a third place and three fifths this one did nothing and thus is still a maiden. I will have to put it in the lowest maidenclaimers I can find.
He has only ran once on turf and I think I will try him first on turf. The influence of the DDS should give turfroutes so I first try it on a turfmile again. But my hopes are not high for this one.
In the auction I bid on three horses and off course this one was clearly the worst and noone overbid me. My own fault
Luckily I think my claimers are much better and will be able to give me bp’s.
6012: Believe In Buda
Picked up in a 3.5K claimer
Before I give the hard figures I like to say something about the dam of this one: the dam rode 79 races and won 21 times in a turfrace of which 20 where routes (10 stakeraces and 2 G2’s)
If I look at the stats of the sire, damsire, dam’s damsire, then I immediately think that this one should also be a turf router. But this one has been running on dirt constantly with exception of the first two races.
If you look at the past performances then we see that this one is also clearly a horse for the longer distance, still I would like to know what it can do in a turfroute, so that will probably be my first step with this horse. The horse has been gathering bp’s pretty consistently, so this is not a bad claim.
90290:
Picked up in a 4K claimer
In his 16 races this one grabbed bp’s 14 times. That is just what we need.
Looking at the ancestors this really was no cheapie, but it clearly is no brilliant horse: it was put in low field allowances and managed to get bp’s that way.
The range to put this on in is pretty big : from
My stable has grown with 3 horses this week of which 2 are decent and will surely make me bp’s. The other one came from the auction and we will try our best.
Off course the claimers are just picked up and I will train those again for within 3 weeks when they will run their first race for me.
Next chapter will be about the entries for next week, the selection of the jockey’s and the jockeysettings.
