You all know I had a history of some bad posts, and some animosity, immaturity, etc......but a losing streak is one thing, the ever-evolving state of the game is more than just Orb.....and THIS concerns me a bit.....I would like to hear your thoughts....
Creates being shoveled out of the sales ring with the success over the last 2-3 seasons have ANNIHILATED the propensity for seasons-long bloodlines to come to fruition and separate as worthy pedigrees.
I like to buy and seek occasional creates, and they SHOULD be part of the game, for bloodline diversity.....But as I look through a 1-2 month race card calendar....The SHORTCUT method -----ERRRRR----- buying creates to offset the "Inconvenience" of 4-generational bloodline creation is hurting more than helping.
Thanks to GOD we have the TnT's of the world, who works his A$$ off to foster TRUE horse bloodlines, the classic way.....Yes he buys creates on occasion, as I do, but he EARNS his bloodlines.
I am a proud owner of some Create bloodlines, but they have been DILUTED now by the near "daily" (or at least 3-5 weekly) Create Allowance or better horses coming out of the Myth-ring.
Ughhhh, and now I see more perspective every day on the cycle of trainers old (very old) and new....
I spent hundreds over the weekend, several Benjamins (American slang LOL),and I reflect that in retrospect, instead of passing money out to all of you, to purchase your breeders for breeding (and I think I bought at least 1-2 or more from ALL of you), I probably [gulp] would have came out better buying 4 or 5 "10-packs" of creates........ That just doesn't sit well with me.
Thoughts?
