SIRE SNAPSHOT

Well being continually told by players that “They don’t know much about Aussie horses”, I though I’d do an article on a Aussie sire here and there. I will not bog you down with heaps of data, but more of a snap shot of there life so far, so you get to know them better.

Today our first subject will be my Favorite sim and Aussie sire FLYING SPUR (AUS).

First off you’d have to agree that’s a fantastic looking piece of horses flesh

Ok now let’s have a look at his bloodlines:

		Northern Dancer 1961	Natalma 1957	Native Dancer Almahmoud	1950 – 5 1947 – 2
		Pas De Nom 1968	Admiral’s Voyage 1959	Crafty Admiral Olympia Lou	1948 – 8 1952 – 4

	Grand Luxe 1974	Sir Ivor 1965	Sir Gaylord 1959	Turn-To Somethingroyal	1951 – 1 1952 – 2
		Sir Ivor 1965	Attica 1953	Mr Trouble Athenia	1947 – 13 1943 – 8

And again you’d have to agree that’s some awesome blood flowing through his veins and we all know how well the Northern Dancer and Mr. Prospector lines hold up in the sim.

Ok now let’s check out his own real life race record to give you an idea of this horse’s ability on the track, which I’m sure you’ll be most impressed with.

STC Golden Slipper S-G1, Rosehill (1200m)

Now his stud career so far

Ok so now let’s have a look at how this horse has performed in the sim thus far as a sire.

So far he has sired 169 horses in the sim.

They have competed in 1,931 races.

Winning 219 of the 1,931.

Well I hope you got to know Flying Spur a little better.

In closing I would say given the right mares and access to decent bloodlines by sim players, he has the versatility to become a real force in the sim in coming years
