Last season, my filly Songbird won the Triple Tiara. She's the second filly ever to do it on the forum and currently holds the record for the fastest 9 furlongs on dirt in the history of TB racing here at SS. She was hexed to resemble the RL filly of the same name, who had a really impressive racing career. Since I love hexing RL horses and I wanted to commemorate Songbird's victory, I decided to pick a bunch of fantastic RL fillies and hex them for a big auction. However, sh*t happened and I didn't open the game for over 6 months. BUT never fear, I finished the last filly I was working on and although I didn't make it all the way through the list, this place is kinda dead so I think these fillies should be plenty, and hey, I might get to keep one or two, or three...
Each filly will come with their leg type, surface preference, distance, and abilities already picked out, because I want them to be kinda close to their RL counterparts. Additionally, you may not rename them, but you can choose their show name as long as Rhapsody is in the prefix. You must keep their call/racing name. They MUST BE RACED and I'd prefer if they were handled by their owner but if you must use a handler, that's okay. All the other standard rules apply blah blah.
I tried REALLY HARD to make each bay unique with the blending/colors/textures haha. They're all on the same mod: Mak's v1 TB with a couple changes to the head/face/mane/forelock. I also utilized Rafa's idea and gave them optional braids (just change the fatness scale in-game) since what would be the point of precise, realistic blazes/stars/stripes if you can't see them cuz of the forelock?! Assume that each one probably requires at least one external texture, some need two or more.
So, as far as the auction goes...It's going to end Sunday the 18th at 3pm MST. Here's a countdown...
Starting bid for all is 500SS. You can bid on as many as you want but you can ONLY WIN ONE. So if you're bidding on more than one, rank them in order of who you want most to least. Whoever has the highest bid on a horse will win it unless they've won a different filly already and then it'll go to the next highest bid, if that makes sense? Lemme know if there's questions/confusion. If there are leftovers, I'm probably keeping them but they may come up for another auction or something.

And if anyone cares to know, I also hexed Lady Eli and Beholder as part of this "series" but I'm totally keeping Beholder and I gifted the lovely Lady to Neco. Midnight Lucky and Mizdirection were both on the list too but they're greys so, therefore, more complicated. I was saving them for last and here we are 8+ months later and I just need to get these girls settled, wherever they end up, and move on.
