Check out Sawd10's farm log here to stay up to date on the happenings at Golden Eagle Stables!


Racehorse Stallion Spotlight
Check out drkdr's fantastic stud, x Valentine! If you have racers other than Thoroughbreds on your farm, this guy is for you! He has a mixture of Turkmene and Deliboz blood and has a very nice pedigree, being a descendant of JWs (jodie1029) and SL (sandyleigh79) racer lines.

Issue #2- September 9, 2019

Hello everyone, and welcome to my second issue of Horse World Online Weekly Racing Newsletter! I hope you enjoyed my first issue, and if you have any comments at all about it, please feel free to contact and tell me them here! :) In today's issue, I've changed the format a little. I start out with special things like my newbie spotlight and interview. Then I move on to news from each section in the racing disciplines. I end with a stallion for stud and horse for sale spotlight :) If you like this format, please let me know! Thanks for reading! :)

Newbie Spotlight
On August 5th, 2019, the player I chose for my first newbie spotlight, meduzk, joined the game. Even though they've only been on the game for a little over a month, meduzk's name is already showing up in recent racing competitions- namely through Explosive Lullaby. This gorgeous stallion was bred by meduzk and is a grand champion in sprint racing as well as steeplechasing. Explosive Lullaby also holds champion titles in both harness racing and racing. If you take a look at meduzk's farm, you will notice that Explosive Lullaby is not this new player's only trained racer. Congrats to meduzk for joining the game and for already becoming a part of the racing community!

Interview
I was privileged to join Wild Wood Ranch (their other account is A.P farm) in chat the day before last for an interview on their fantastic racehorses. Wild Wood Ranch is 12th in the top owners rankings list for both their number of racing wins, and also for their racing earnings. Wild Wood Ranch has many fantastic racers, mainly Standardbreds and Thoroughbreds. I started out our interview by asking about their record holding horses (check out Heartbreaker and Phoenix Unbound if you haven't already!). Wild Wood Ranch began with Phoenix Unbound, saying that "I was always expecting phoenix to do well, as he is out of some really good lines...however i was not expecting him to be a record holder. I was happy and excited. I mean every breeder on this game wants their horses to do well and I put a lot of time into my TB line." We then moved on to Heartbreaker and Wild Wood Ranch's line of Standardbreds: "I started working with SBs a while ago. I was lucky enough to purchase some from very good lines. Still it took me quite a while to get my SBs to where I want them to be. I was constantly getting foals with only 50s for speed. Finally I started to get SBs with the type of stats that I like all my racers to have. Eventually I got Heartbreaker. I started to compete a few this summer, Heartbreaker included, and next thing I knew he had broken a record." Wild Wood Ranch also showed me some up-in-coming young racers of theirs, including Rose Phoenix, Warlock Unbound, and Oathbreaker. I then asked Wild Wood Ranch what their plans for the future are. They answered, "I plan to continue breeding TBs. I do however intend to start working with some other racing breeds that i have had on hold soon such as standardbreds, deliboz, and crosses."
I want to thank Wild Wood Ranch/A.P farm for being willing to do an interview with me, it was a lot of fun! They have some really nice horses- make sure to watch out for Autumn Pasture racers in upcoming competitions 8-)

Those of you who breed racing Thoroughbreds know how difficult it is to breed to horse that runs those times consistently! Congrats to Shiva_Alternate for breeding this handsome guy!

Harness Racing
News
A bunch of level 10 harness racing competitions with nice purses have been created by BlackOak2: http://www.horseworldonline.net/competi ... r_id=16862

Racehorse Spotlight
It is highly unusual to see the Belgian breed in any racing competitions, but check out this guy! He has not only been doing well in sprint racing competitions, but he has also been winning in racing, steeplechasing, and harness racing. If you did not already know, HorzeLover101 has been breeding racer Belgians and this guy is a prime example of how well their project has been going so far! Keep an eye out for more of these guys!

Steeplechasing
Rising Star
Drkdr's beautiful unnamed roan mare currently has 5 wins and 1 second place from 6 starts in steeplechasing. Her fastest time of 10:27.63 in a race is only 10 seconds off the world record set by ~JWs~ Jitterbug on April 4th of last year (level 1).
Race Highlight
On September 3rd, Rhorsegirl80's $HWEC$ Steeplechasing competition took place. This 2 million dollar race is runs daily. September 3rd's running was won by The People's Treasurer in a time of 10:36.28. The People's Treasurer was bred by Shiva_Alternate and is owned by Shiva_Eventing.
Racehorse Spotlight
Doc. Feel Good is an absolutely stunning sooty dapple Thoroughbred bred by Ms. Trouble Maker. Looks aside, he's also a great competition horse. He's a Master Champion in steeplechasing and has won almost a million and a half dollars. He's also got an 86.8 win percentage out of 91 total starts, which is pretty good!

Thanks for reading! In next week's issue, I'll be posting another exclusive interview along with the usual information! :) Stay tuned!

Announcements

Hello everyone, and welcome to my third issue of Horse World Online's Weekly Racing Newsletter! :) Today I am announcing a pretty big change to the newsletter- due to my rather hectic life outside the game, I will be changing the newsletter from weekly to monthly. The newsletter will now be posted on the 1st of each month from now on. That means my fourth issue will be released October 1st, and the fifth November 1st, and so on. I will also be opening several more branches of the newsletter to focus on disciplines other than racing- and I will be looking for players to run these branches- so keep an eye out for a "writers wanted" ad :)

New Player Spotlight
I didn't have time this week to set up an interview :? , so I decided to highlight a new player that has joined the racing community instead :) Fellow racehorse breeders- please welcome Ritsuka_demon! Ritsuka joined the game in the beginning of June this year, and if you check out their farm, you will see several pastures dedicated to their race horse line(s). Ritsuka already has a very nice collection of Thoroughbreds, including Shadow JLNZ Diablo, Leviathan JLNZ, Urie Sogami, and Mage Nanashiro. If you want to keep track of Ritsuka's progress, keep an eye on their farm log! They have all their best horses outlined there, including ones other than Thoroughbreds.

Hello and welcome to October's issue of Horse World Online's Monthly Racing Newsletter! :) As always, if you have any feedback at all that you'd like to give me, please contact me here! :D
I've started the process of looking for writers to take on other newsletter branches... stay tuned! ;) Hint: It may or may not have something to do with this contest I'm hosting... *whistles innocently*

Interview
Do you remember the new player that I featured in my last issue, Ritsuka_demon? Today I had the opportunity of talking to Ritsuka in chat and learning more about their farm and racehorses. When I asked them about their goals for their racers, they replied, "I want to breed a speed 65 racer stallion, but right now I just want to get my racers' stats higher." Ritsuka confessed that they are primarily focused on Thoroughbreds, but would love to get more of different types of breeds on their farm. Ritsuka also proudly showed me their newest promising young Thoroughbred, {R$D} Surprise. At the rate Ritsuka is progressing through the game (they first joined in early June), it won't be long until they will have joined the ranks of top racing Thoroughbred breeders! Make sure to keep an eye on Ritsuka's farm and farm log, you never know what will be happening next with them!

Interview
This month I had the privilege of interviewing one of the most well-known Thoroughbred breeders in the game- PeacefulOreo! :D PeacefulOreo and I discussed their farm, their record holders, and what makes them successful in Thoroughbred racing. PeacefulOreo told me that they look for specific things in their foals, including "61+ speed, 31+ strength, and 42+ stamina in the conformation." They also added, "For the breeders report, I'm looking for gold speed comment, good strength comment, and a green but preferably gold. Then for other general things, I would like 60,000+ genetic potential and under 65% COI." I asked if PeacefulOreo if they had any tips for breeding a record breaking Thoroughbred racehorse. They explained, "Breed the best mares and the best stallions together. Good Conformation, a good breeders report, the high strung temperament, the very light horse type build to light horse type build, and faster times all are important to breeding a successful Thoroughbred in racing." PeacefulOreo and I went on to talk about their record breaker Thoroughbred- Thunder.


WHRTB Thunder
This handsome guy broke the Level 3 Steeplechasing World Record on June 3rd of this year. Since then it has been broken by a different horse, but still, many of us in the Thoroughbred breeding industry know how difficult it is to get a record breaker! PeacefulOreo told me, "When Thunder had first broken the Level 2 Steeplechasing record, I was very shocked and surprised, in a good way. Once the feeling sank in, I was very happy of him. Hopefully one of his foals will break a record too." Thunder has sired 54 foals so far, one of them being Thunder's Legend, who is already a Grand Champion in racing and steeplechasing. Make sure to keep an eye on Thunder's progeny- and PeacefulOreo's other Thoroughbreds! Maybe soon we will see another WHRTB world record breaker!

A&P Shadow Phoenix
Feast your eyes upon our newest world record holder! Wild Wood Ranch's fantastic Thoroughbred broke not only the level 1 racing world record, but also the level 4 racing world record on October 5 and October 11, respectively. Congratulations to A.P Farm and Wild Wood Ranch!
Rising Star
Calcifer/Frost has started to make a name for themselves in the racing industry, and one of the horses they bred that is giving them some spotlight is this month's rising star- an unnamed silver dapple colt.


This handsome little guy is a newly crowned champion and still has a 100% win percentage! He has 23 wins out of 39 total starts in racing, and of course, has never finished off the board. He's run some pretty nice times- his fastest is a 2:00.66 but he also runs 2:01s pretty regularly. He's got a great speed comment and gold stamina as well.
Race/Racehorse Spotlight
Yesterday, one of Calcifer's FF Races was won by their own horse, FF Gentleman Jack, with a time of 2:01.7. *Drumroll please.*


Wow, check out his color! :o This is very rare to see in a purebred Thoroughbred. Additionally, when Thoroughbreds are bred for colors like his, conformation and breeder's comments for racing are put on the back burner. This guy has both! He's currently a Master Champion in racing with a 81.4% win percentage out of 199 total starts. He's definitely one to keep an eye on!

On October 27, LilyTromp's Sams King HS ran his second fastest time ever in the Bolthaven 'The Two Hundred Weekly' Harness Races level 10 competition.


This guy is already a Grand Champion in Harness Racing and is progressing rapidly. Out of 48 starts he's got a 91.7% win percentage, which is good, and he also has the conformation and breeder's report for harness racing. Look out for him in the harness races!

I know, I know, I feature these guys a lot. But check him out! I am just loving keeping up with Horzelover101's racing Belgians- they are so neat! What makes this guy so special is his speed comment- the absolute best one you can get and very rare! Also, so far he's loving his sprint races, with 10 wins out of 14 starts. How far will he go?
Race/Racehorse Spotlight
Snow Babe won October 27's running of The Short Whyle with a time of 00:41.74. In the process he beat four horses with titles of Grand Champion and above in sprint racing, as well as coming shy of the level 10 world record by barely over one and a half seconds. Snow Babe is neat because both his sire and his dam were at one time record holders! He's got 12 titles- 4 Champions, 7 Grand Champions, and 1 Master Champion! Congrats to BlackOak for breeding this awesome guy!

Steeplechasing

Race/Racehorse Spotlight


This absolutely stunning current record holder in sprint racing has taken to steeplechasing as well. On October 25 he ran a 10:27 in the Sunpath Acres Steeplechasing Level 10 competition. He's got an 82.4% win percentage out of 17 starts, and he's already at level 8 so that tells me he was put in with the big boys in higher level competitions early on and still ran well! When I check his recent competition results, I see that he won a level 9 race for his very first start! This guy is definitely on to keep an eye out for :)

Endurance

We have three new world record holders for the month of November! :D
On November 20, Frost's FF Targaryen broke the level 1 world record... it now sits at 1:58.89 :)
The following day, Frost had another record breaker in FF Stark, who broke the level 3 world record! It is now 1:59.14.
The most recent record was set only yesterday by A&P Shadow Phoenix, who ended up breaking his own record from November 2nd :) The new record is 1:59.07.
Take a look at our newest racing record holders! :D
FF Targaryen


FF Stark


A&P Shadow Phoenix


Rising Star
Frost's gorgeous unnamed colt


takes the rising star spot for this month's issue :) He's got gold speed and stamina and a good strength comment for a racer, so it is no surprise that he has been winning his first few racing competitions with great times! He broke his maiden first out with a 2:01.94 and has proceeded to run a 2:00.68, 2:00.41, 2:00.59, and a 2:00.77 since! All he has left to do is break 2 minutes in a race- and perhaps even take a world record! He's won 14 out of his 18 starts and has never finished off the board (so has a 100% win percentage). Keep an eye out for this guy!
Race/Racehorse Spotlight
One of PeacefulOreo's newer Thoroughbreds has earned his way into this month's spotlight- WHRTB Flametail.


This handsome guy is a son of the infamous Seabiscuit and out of a very nice WHRTB mare who is actually a Grand Champion with a nice win percentage :) With parents like that, you can expect a horse like Flametail! This guy is actually a current record holder, but we'll get to that in the Steeplechasing section :) Currently he is a Master Champion in Racing though, and he's got a 83.8% win percentage out of 99 total starts. He also has over 3 million dollars in earnings already! He has run quite a few 2:00.something times, but he's also broken 2 minutes :) His fastest race is a 1:59.81, which he has run twice so far :)

Harness Racing
News
Check out Thundering Hooves's Harness Racing Competition! :D It has a purse of a little over a million dollars!
Rising Star
Is wouldn't be a proper racing newsletter without one of Horzelover's racing Belgians featured, would it? :D
Check him out!


Not only is he a stunning color, but also he's on his way to becoming a Harness Racing Champion! He currently has 4 wins out of 7 starts and has never finished off the board yet. His fastest race is a 2:37.66 with room for improvement!
Race/Racehorse Spotlight


Meet TH* Zenith May! This handsome Thoroughbred colt has the Secretariat speed comment- and he's good at every racing discipline! However, Harness Racing seems to be his favorite, and out of 37 starts, he's won 17 and has a 97.3% win percentage!

Sprint Racing
News
This month, Frost broke literally every single world record for sprint racing!
If I linked all the horses' images, my newsletter would be ridiculously long :lol:, so I'm just going to link the Sprint Racing world records page: http://www.horseworldonline.net/records?d=18
Major congratulations are in store for Frost who bred all these amazing horses and accomplished this feat! *confetti*
Rising Star
We have two Sprint Racing rising stars this month :)
Meet Wild Wood Ranch's unnamed colt


and Horzelover's BCSR Shenanigans


Both these guys are new to Sprint Racing but are doing excellent so far! The unnamed colt has 4 wins and 1 second out of 5 starts, and Horze's Belgian has 15 wins and 1 second out of 16 starts! They are both fantastic horses that should be watched! :)
Race/Racehorse Spotlight
I think that it's a given that I include one of Frost's amazing sprint racers here :D I chose FF Rockin Tart who is currently holding all the spring racing records except for levels 2, 3, and 9.


He's got a 100% win percentage out of 121 starts and is already a Master Grand Champion! His earnings climb to almost 3 million dollars as well. This horse is practically unbeatable!

Steeplechasing
News
November was definitely the month for record breaking!

FameDaLupa's Cosmic Center


broke the level 5 world record on November 15, and the level 8 world record on the 16th.
Rising Star
This horse ran only one start in Steeplechasing,


but I decided to feature him anyway because he ran a 10:25.63, which is quite a bit faster than other level 1 Steeplechasing competitors in recent results. Keep an eye on this guy! :D
Race/Racehorse Spotlight
I had to pick FameDaLupa's Cosmic Center for this spotlight, because come on, this horse is so talented! :)


He runs fantastic times regularly, and he's got a 94.5% win percentage out of 73 starts. How far will he go? :) Will he break another record?

Endurance
News

Rising Star
Horzelover's pretty filly


earns the rising star spotlight for Endurance. She only has green stamina, but she's doing great in Endurance competitions so far! Out of 29 starts, she has 13 wins and a 96.6% win percentage. I consider an Endurance horse to be good when their final score is under 20. Horze's filly generally runs lower 20s but she's also run several 19s! With 115 points, she'll soon be a Champion! How far will she go?
Race/Racehorse Spotlight
I chose two horses for this spotlight, ~JWs~ Copper Experience


and 330 Gusto


Both of these horses are Endurance Grand Champions with 95%+ win percentages! They are definitely both worth watching!

For Sale
Well-known racehorse breeder jodie1029 has three Thoroughbred x Deliboz crosses up for sale here for only $10,000 each! Grab em before they're gone! :)

Post by h a z e l »

Issue #7- January 1st, 2020



HAPPY NEW YEAR!! :D



Announcements

Hello, and welcome to Issue #7 of Horse World's Monthly Racing Newsletter! :D First of all, I'd like to apologize for being a day late... my life recently turned hectic so I just can't be online much anymore :oops:... which leads me to a huge announcement regarding the newsletter leadership.

Due to my real life drastically changing, I no longer have much time to be online anymore. Unfortunately, this problem would make it very difficult for me to continue to lead the newsletter and write the racing issues. I really, really genuinely enjoyed starting the newsletter and writing the racing issues for a few months :) I am going to miss the writing as well as being on the game regularly. I want to give the Horse World community a big thank you for reading my newsletter issues and for supporting my efforts to start up the newsletter. I am sure that the next leader will do a much better job than I and take the newsletter to new heights! :D Without further ado, I would like to announce the player that will be taking over the newsletter for a period of time until a permanent leader can be found :). *Drumroll please!*

BlackOak2, thank you so very much for being willing to take on this responsibility! You are already such an important, well loved member of the community, and when I was considering a new leader, I knew I had to ask you. With your extensive knowledge of the game and your already excellent leadership skills, I knew that you would do a fantastic job of leading the newsletter. I cannot thank you enough for being willing to do this :).

BlackOak2 is now the leader of all the newsletter branches, and all questions, concerns, or comments about the newsletter will now be sent their way :).

This newsletter issue is going to be a bit shorter and less detailed because of the lack of time I had to write it with. I hope you can forgive me :(.

Fun Corner!

My horse came in so late the jockey was wearing pyjamas.

The horse I bet on was so slow, the jockey kept a diary of the trip.

I bought a horse. In its first race it went out 25 to 1. The only problem is that all the other horses left at 12:30.

World Records

-On December 4, 2019, FameDaLupa's Middeneaht broke the Level 9 Harness Racing world record! It now sits at 02:33.37.



Rising Star(s)



Another one of Frost's magnificent Thoroughbreds makes the newsletter, this time one with a full on white face marking! :o This is the first Thoroughbred that I personally have seen with a blaze like this that is competing, and winning! This unnamed colt is a newly crowned champion in Racing and has a 95.3% win percentage out of 43 starts. If you take a look at his race record, you see that he has some pretty great times as well! The fastest race he ever ran was run in 2:00.48. Keep an eye on this handsome guy!

Racehorse Spotlight(s)



Impulsion is a very talented colt bred by D.M Boarding who is doing excellent in three racing disciplines and fairly well in another! He is currently a Master Champion in Steeplechasing with 26 wins out of 69 starts and a 97.1% win percentage. He is also a Champion in both Sprint Racing and Racing, with a 84% win percentage sprinting and a 65.6% win percentage racing. However, he seems to like Harness Racing the most, with a 100% win percentage out of 35 starts and a Grand Champion title.



Here is a very nice Endurance horse with 367 starts and 201 wins out of those. He has a very nice 93.7% win percentage and a Supreme Grand Champion title, and he's not showing any signs of slowing down! He was bred by Black Diamond Eq and is owned by Brinkhaven. If you take a look at his past competition performances, he often hits the 18 hour mark before penalties, which is what I always looked for for my Endurance grinders. That area is typically where the better Endurance horses fall at the moment.

For Sale



Here is a chance to grab one of Malakai10's fantastic racehorses! This mixed Deliboz stallion has gold 56 speed, 35 strength, and 38 stamina. He's also got two green and one other gold stat. He is a descendant of Malakai's racehorse lines and is up for $800,000 or best offer! 800k is a very fair price, and he's probably not going to be up for sale for long, so grab him while you can!

At Stud

Use this link to take you straight to all the Thoroughbred stallions that are currently up for stud with energy. Bookmark it and thank me later :D



This handsome guy is one of the many amazing Thoroughbred studs available with energy. He is a Pine Valley bred Thoroughbred, with gold speed, green stamina, green agility, and gold intelligence. His confo is in his notes. He's currently a Supreme Master Grand Champion in Racing, a Supreme Grand Champion in Sprint Racing, a Supreme Champion in Harness Racing, a Supreme Champion in Steeplechasing, and a Grand Champion in Endurance. His win percentages aren't that high, but he's shown that he's multi-talented and capable of producing quality offspring. This guy is just one example of his competing foals. He's currently standing at $100,000 a breeding, which some many consider on the more expensive side, but I think is a fair deal, considering his pedigree, stats, and race and progeny record. Try him out while he's available! :)

Next Month...

Be prepared for new surprises from BlackOak2! :D



As always, thank you so much for reading :)

Issue #8- February 1, 2019

Announcements:
Welcome to February's issue of Horse World Online's Monthly Racing Newsletter.

First of all, let me introduce myself. I am Tisha, formerly known as Champi0nBr66der3. I took over hazel’s job as the writer of the HWO Racing Newsletter. As for how I got recruited, I was chatting with BlackOak2 in chat and they mentioned being extremely busy, so I asked about the racing newsletter, long story short, I volunteered to write the newsletter...so here I am!

A bit about myself: I’ve been very focused on the Racing Discipline since I joined about 3+ years ago, so writing this newsletter is something I find interesting.

Posting dates may vary, but my deadline (given by my manager BlackOak2) is the first Friday of the month. Thus, updates may vary in terms of when it'll be posted.

I hope you have been enjoying keeping up with the racing community through this newsletter. As always, please feel free to leave me any suggestions, questions, or comments on the communications forum located here.

Interviews:
For this month’s interview, I had the privilege of chatting with one of the prominent racing breeders, Frost. For those who are not familiar with Frost, they have bred horses that hold a number of records, including Racing [L1], [L3] and all the Sprint Racing Records. Without further ado, here's the interview!

Tisha: Hello Frost, you're a well known breeder in the racing community with a number of record holders, would you mind telling me about how you got into racing?

Frost: I'm a huge fan of racing in real life. I grew up with thoroughbreds and they'll probably always be my favorite so naturally I carried that into the game and pursued them fairly early on when joining.
I think FF Braavos was my first Stallion I ever really trained up and entered into comps. He was also my first 66 Speed and produced 2 notable colts for me. FF Meereen my second 66 speed and FF Preakness my at the time best race horse. From there I sort of just started playing around, I wanted to add new colours, new markings ect.

Tisha: They sure are great looking horses! Your Thoroughbreds are widely admired for having facial and paint markings, but other than that, what would you like to achieve with your Thoroughbreds? I'll assume to break many records?

Frost: I'd love to break records but my main goal is to have really nice looking horses. Sometimes my RH don't have the best comp records, they can be RH and only have an 80% win rate. To me a good horse is one I think "wow, that just looks awesome and it does pretty well in shows I want offspring from that one."

Tisha: That's very relatable! I'm sure pretty horses are always nice to have! Did you encounter any interesting experiences while breeding your racers? I’m quite curious about how your Sprint Racers came to be, as they have very different requirements for the Racing Discipline.

Frost: So the sprint racers were actually sort of accidental lol. I was breeding for green speed and green strength and I realized that the resulting colts were very stock horse looking. They were stockier than my racers. I believe it was this colt. FF Chocolate Phantom He was so amusing in appearance I decided to keep him. I entered him in all the racing events to see how he did and he 2 broke records in sprint racing. I realized in sprint racing speed and strength are the two most important stats so logically he'd do better in it that anything else. I decided to keep a few of his relative colts and ended up producing this guy FF Rocking Tart

Tisha: That's very interesting! I've seen your Farmlog and saw you bred the first ever green strength and green speed horse, it's something we haven't seen before! And last question, is there any advice or anything you'd like to say to fellow racing breeders?

Frost: Don't be afraid to try something new. If you're feeling stuck or frustrated mix it up. Keep it interesting.

There we have it, the interview with Frost! I hope you enjoyed it, and thank you Frost for taking the time to answer my questions!
