Big Brain Stables

After all these years, we are still insanely proud and excited to be a part of @photofinishgame

Our 2yo S+ Legions in Unison just scored FF 93 in his second ever @photofinishgame race photofinish.live/races/seaso… This is either going to be the beginning of something really beautiful, OR the earliest of early blooms ever.

Great evening for our stable last night, as we scored a win and two other podiums in @photofinishgame Third Time Championship races plus my personal favorite, a win in one of the RD Undercard races, as that one took a lot of planning and careful race selection to qualify :)

LFG my friend!!

Congrats to @zedge_jpeg for his big win in @photofinishgame S+ Royal Dynasty race last night photofinish.live/races/seaso… as his filly Honor went head to head with our colt Locked On in the final stretch, and outlasted us in the last few steps.

Such crazy final stretch in this @photofinishgame RT A+ Major race photofinish.live/races/seaso… Great finish by our colt Star Seattle to take the win, and then there were also 3 horses within 9 thousands of a second, battling it out for the 3rd place. Love the Stakes Majors!

Disappointed that none of our fillies made it to the podium in @photofinishgame Fit for a Queen race last night photofinish.live/races/seaso… but we still love the idea of 4+yo major filly race, and I was actually impressed by the strength of the field.

Bringing Deebo's 9929 rare @photofinishgame bloodline into RDF breeding market for the first time, with our S+ stud Legionnaire's Dawn photofinish.live/horses/c0a8…

Curious what was the reason for @photofinishgame Stakes Qualifier races to have Immediate selection style? People are now forced to register their horses days in advance (before the race is filled) which in effect means that some of the best horses in each grade are basically sitting idle half the time, instead of being out there and racing more often.

People love to test their new horses in @photofinishgame Maiden races so much that some races even had to invent new Roman numerals to show up in the schedule: Diamond Cup Maiden VIIIIII

Finding decent races for average or subpar S+ colts seems to be the most difficult thing in @photofinishgame atm. For example photofinish.live/horses/c1d5… He is way too slow for Grades. He can sometimes be solid in S+ Restricted, but it's hard to find suitable distance/weather. He is bad for Claimers, as he gets easily beat by solid S opponents in more expensive races, and you don't want to lose him in cheaper races (where he might have been more competitive). Handicaps make no sense with huge additional weight. And there are no grade based Allowance races for S+. So the only solution seems to be Benchmark (and BFF based Allowances), or am I missing something?

We have retired our @photofinishgame S+ LDS colt Big Muzzy photofinish.live/horses/73a7… It brings 9927 and 9930 bloodlines transferred to LDS, along with two other non- 1/1 bloodlines. Breeding price is 24k.

Loving the longevity of some of our @photofinishgame horses My 7 yo S- colt Soloshot just scored his 31st career win (and 60th podium) in 114 starts photofinish.live/horses/c38c… and my favorite thing about him is that he was actually profitable from racing in EVERY season so far. The amounts are obviously declining over time, but it's still sweet to see chart like this

The Fantasist is only the second ever @photofinishgame S+ RT colt with NO 1/1 bloodlines photofinish.live/horses/4263… and we have him joining the Studding market today.

Interesting new S+ colt that we now offer on the @photofinishgame studding market photofinish.live/horses/6a1f… Bringing in 9930 Prime Time bloodline to LDF, already with 1 Left preference point, thus making it easier for all future Left foals.

I was trying to sell this S filly for a while photofinish.live/marketplace… I figured we had other stronger RDS fillies to breed, and did not really need her. She was pregnant, listed for as low as 88k. Good thing no one picked her up, because she just gave us a sweet S+ FILLY foal
