@rdrisms When I was consistently top 100 team trials, I had to prune my follower list daily... the amount of accounts with extremely detailed "I love umamusume forever" profiles that I had to delete because they quit the game after a month was crazy
Early Takarazuka thoughts:
Croix Du Nord is tired,
Museum Mile is rusty,
Regaleira is the wrong style for Hanshin 2200
I like Danon Decile, I like Meisho Tabaru
And if My Universe wins I'll fill out a Rey De Oro apology form
@Soupercredible@himariarchive Could read it as the trainer thinking Tabaru needed a fast work to get in him ready for the race, but yeah otherwise looks fine to me, certainly better than museum mile
@rdrisms I do think there should be some races such that when a ct x ct pairing lowrolls a tt foal, they should throw the breeders a bone and give 12f races for them to make money from. If there's absolutely zero tt races you're basically forced to breed cc x ct only
The durability debate is very simple:
If durability made money, someone would breed for it
Also, 98% of people on horse racing twitter don't understand their idea of pre-2022 durability isn't "great training & breeding", it's "steroids and other medications"
Also putting my two cents in, I think people are taking away the wrong things from the whole triple crown scheduling debate. It’s not really black and white. Short turnarounds aren’t bad it’s just a question of if the American breed can handle it.
@belmostickey@joel_starz You're right but you have it backwards, horses started needing more time when HISA actually started checking if trainers were doping. Btw everyones favorite iron horse Citation debuted in 1947 - Also 1947: trainers started using anabolic steroids. Look it up
