This horse that I thought might be a monster and cost a small fortune is probably the biggest dud I've bred (at a cost!). DOPPELGANGERGATE |

I have seen worse Broo ... richly bred fodder part and parcel of this addiction.
Looking at Doppelgangergate, I just can't even see what to suggest, like his speeds as a 2 and 3yo gave some sorta hope, but first 4yo start did not show the wanted speed bump.
What about another longer route attempt away from the wet track??? Or keep at 6 and under? Annoying for sure, especially when you forked out a bit for him.
I have a few Arrogate sired 2yo's waiting in the wings, so this post does not fill me with enthusiasm.

I'll let you know when my Arrogates hit the track ... think one might have already. Guess it did not set the world alight.

This thread has just made me realize how good a start Arrogate has made to his sim career as a sire!
As for Doppelgangerate....() He's never gonna do anything as a sprinter, it looks like he wants to lead but is always too slow in the early fractions. Given Arrogate's early stats and 'Doppel's dams sire line, I'd say his pedigree points to distance. I'd go for an easy 9.5f+ NW2L NTO, and if he doesn't wire the field.....then hope diminishes even further... good luck with him Broo

Breed 20 like that and 1 might be good. That's just how it goes unfortunately.

Plenty of money spent on my end for a lot of junk and a few good ones , chances to get a good horse using a top sire are 5-6% which is about right in line with what I’ve been getting
