I am writing this post so it is clear why I am taking a break from the game this season. As some of you may have read I was not happy about the extra deposit bonus given to only 10 players of a free breed to Leave No Doubt. I want all 10 players with those horses to know I have no bad feelings about your horses you breed as you were just playing the game as decided by the owner. It is Lone's game and he can set the rules and then we must decide to play or not. I have decided that this decision of his is worth me taking a break from competition. A little background I was here when Leave No Doubt (LND) was an active sire. LND is the best sire in the time period I have played the game. I won a breeding contest Toc put on when LND was an unproved sire and most of the first works came back sub10910 with my winner 10880s So I knew when Lone brought him out of retirement he would have great runners. Both runners won their eliminator division race tonight. One in sub 121 time. And yes I said retirement, in Lone's response to me when I questioned bringing him back he said just getting him up to the new limits. Well I looked at my sires of that age and they still can only breed 50. So I guess you make the rules to fit what you want. He also said this was like the Ecko and Light show game well it was not as you had to pay for the breed and I dont think anyone was shut out of getting one if they wanted to not the free breed for 10 players like this one was. I feel like the old timers felt when owners put in the super creates as they called them. As someone who has built up his breeding barn I feel ownership bringing back a all time great for only a few players is just wrong. I have told him that on previous issues. I had calmed down a little and entered my four best in the stakes race on the 4th but when what I thought would happen happened (both LND won their heats tonight) I decided to take a break. I almost stayed to race Norm to 6000 but I decided to give the three people who picked me a 4yr mare I think would be worth more than the 10k Lone was going to give you. They all could run some more races this season or be breed as all three of you like to breed. So you three check the sales page. I reserve the right to enter whenever I decide but I will not be entering anything in the near future but the Eliminator conso and Brian's futurity race (which I will be lucky enough to win).
Good luck at the races,
Eddie
