Doesn't look like a great spot

Two thirds against open company. If nothing else you are racking up the money.

Actually, Roys I like Never Stolen-he tries hard and gets as much as he can out of his races. It would be fun if you could breed horses like him and be able to run against other Washington breds every week-would be some very competitive racing. Doesn't seem as if that is ever going to happen, though. As far as I'm concerned the sim BB program is a complete failure. There is little or no incentive to breed these low class horses that mostly all end up in very cheap claimers.
Too bad-it would have been a fun part of the game if done correctly.

Rich - I kinda dissagree. I think many players are embracing the LB program. The Testbarn Residency is completly geared to LBs and Dixie (of course everything he touches is gold) has several really nice ones. He's got about 5 stables that are strictly local breds. I just wish we could bid races for them. In fact I think I will write Mike today because I can't see why that should be a big problem

I agree with Roys, although I just started I am working towards having a good chunk of my horses end up being CAN bred so I can run them exclusively in BC. I too would like to see us able to buy these races and maybe ultimately even run on alternate nights or expand RODOTS to accomodate more races for local breds. I think its not overly working right now because few of the support programs are there to support local bred. It depends a lot on Interest though as well.
