When I first started here and other race site, I was drawn to the excitement as advertised to build a stable and eventually breed the next Digitdowns Champion. Even though it takes a few years to get the breeds and learn how to match them up, its the main reason I'm here. I started out with a few Creates like everyone does and slowly worked my way up. One of my first good bred horse was Gecko Hotspurs Jr who turned 5Y this season and I wanted to race him one more time in a Stake race before he retire. Problem is he was beat by a 4Y gelded create. I'm fine with this but totally AGAINST create running A stake races without buying champ Fees.
Why is admin flooding this site with creates and making it possible to race them without champ fees, sure they need champ fees to run the Qs DDs and finals . The DD races are not filling up so admin has offered to sell creates the Champ fee for 1/2 price, didn't offer this to breed horses.
I'm just disgusted with all the support and special bonuses being give to turn this site into a create site. I think everyone would like to see the championship won by a well bred stable horse, but more and more 3Y gelded creates are winning these and taking away the honor.
I think its time we get back on track of why 90% of us are here and start promoting some breeding. The forum use to be filled with members talking about a horse they just bred or a good breeder they claimed. I know there is a need for creates and I'm not saying don't buy them nor saying you have to be a breeder. I'm saying I would rather bred a horse and have some control on its out come. Not go to the create vendor, pick age color, sex then press OK.
Funny thing is, with all these creates, hardly any create only races fill, they are all racing with the breeds for the Champion Ship. Whats wrong with this picture?
I didn't write this to start trouble, just wanted to explain how a feel about the changes of Digitaldowns and how I see my goal slipping away. WCR
