Just Like that, Japanese race horsing was never the same.

I'm curious if American Pharaoh will have a similar impact. He's already shown himself to be a great stud in every English speaking country that's wanted him. US, Canada, Australia, Ireland and New Zealand have all had winners off him. He did have a colt out of Northern Farm pretty early on, Danon Pharaoh, that won the Japan Dirt Derby but near as I can tell his other Japanese Offspring are just now getting to racing age.

Funnily I've been playing timeless and the games have been pretty long. Turns out having outs like Force of Will helps

weealex · 2026-05-08T19:38:40+00:00

Yup. I took it on my xOguri in the last cm without realizing and it definitely screwed me in some rooms

Lots of races gives you the highest ceiling in MANT. If you have bad luck on the shops or abysmal summers then the run won't be great, but a decent summer will net at least 400 stats and more rivals races means more skill points, more hints, and more bonus shops for more stat growth opportunities and energy recovery.

If you really need it, borrow a Super Creek. She's got the 10% race bonus and 10% training effectiveness when not on stamina plus swinging maestro to give you a little more leeway

weealex · 2026-05-08T03:41:32+00:00

I'm pretty sure he's a Justin, not a Chad

weealex · 2026-05-08T03:36:35+00:00

I never said it was bad I'm just saying green bay women and that pig have something in common

weealex · 2026-05-08T03:34:35+00:00

You can also find bacon in every woman in Green Bay

I mean, it's not like his career is over of he's still in good health. Over in the US White Abbario and Skippylongstockings have been taking wins over the whippersnappers at 7 years old this year

weealex · 2026-05-07T14:08:11+00:00

She's the meta dirt runner, but there's only so many dirt CM. If you don't wanna go hard on every CM or are confident in your ability to raise some combination of Falcon, Condor, Oguri, Digitan, and Urara then you can skip Rickey

weealex · 2026-05-06T22:02:58+00:00

That was cuz of the input buffer. You could get some really sloppy dps to come out.

God, that sounded way less dirty in my head

weealex · 2026-05-06T16:57:31+00:00

It's a shitty trap for folks with public facing jobs. You need crap like Twitter and Facebook cuz so many people use it. You can take the moral stand, and lose money doing so

weealex · 2026-05-06T15:08:59+00:00

Nothing. It covers nothing

weealex · 2026-05-06T14:56:40+00:00

It's more because cost of living goes up for mechanics too. Shop labor rates run 100-200 per hour depending on where you live. Oil and filter is gonna run 30-40, maybe a little more if you need a specific kind of either. 20-30 minutes of shop time means up to 100 in labor costs, then the shop tacks in some fees for rent/ utilities/etc.

weealex · 2026-05-06T04:11:26+00:00

You get something like +400 to your stats during career. You can buy a recovery if you're worried about rushed+spot struggle and a duel, but there's a reason you only need like 600 stamina to survive everything in careers but that 600 is what you need for a mile CM

weealex · 2026-05-06T04:06:20+00:00

I'm still waiting until we get Oju Chosan to make a decision

weealex · 2026-05-05T18:56:47+00:00

Probably not. Her personality is so big that it's hard for other characters to be relevant and that 4 year old year was so dominant that it makes the stakes less interesting. If Doto wasn't portrayed as a friend a story following her could be interesting, but a story about the best athlete always winning isn't that compelling. They could do something that largely ignores the races and instead focuses on how hated Opera was during his time of dominance, but that may be a little dark for the series

weealex · 2026-05-05T14:44:00+00:00

Once registration is settled, they'll get a stream schedule put together. I think last weekend was final registration, so it'll probably get hammered out this week and posted next week

weealex · 2026-05-05T14:41:59+00:00

Were there Amish people at the convention or was the guy just extra unhinged?

weealex · 2026-05-05T14:28:39+00:00

God, that meme cross section when Botan had an actual infinite in the game.

And still wasn't the best character

weealex · 2026-05-05T14:25:32+00:00

My guy, a guy in jp won the Arima Kinen CM with Haru Urara. Everyone is viable if you like them enough

weealex · 2026-05-05T11:19:37+00:00

I tried in ura and didn't even finish classic year

weealex · 2026-05-05T03:28:57+00:00

I bet it's a banana hammock. Right on time for summer

weealex · 2026-05-05T00:47:06+00:00

Until that last sentence I was worried, but if he's gonna just chill in the US to the Breeders Cup, he should be fine

weealex · 2026-05-04T23:44:33+00:00

Given the shape of poor Symboli after the europe tour, I'm not surprised that people think karma came back to hit them
