I thought I would start a new thread for this. I know that people have been discussing breedings in the sire of the week threads, but I thought I'd start an overall thread. We have one in my other residency and it's interesting to see. I don't know if it will catch on or not, but figured it was worth a shot.
Basically, the idea is you just post in here when you breed a bargain horse (or use a bargain sire). It's a good way to share ideas and spark discussion, and just see what everyone is doing.
I'll get things started with the bargain breds I've put together in recent weeks.
Wlkliknegyptian
ROAR X UPPER NILE X ALPHA BOY
I bred this one specifically to test a Round Table x Princequillo nick in the back end. Alpha Boy, as far as I can tell, has never been used in the sim before. Ran a 47 on turf in his first race.
Dandelion Wine
BRADBURY'S LUCK X SANDTRAP X NIJINSKY'S SECRET
I bred this one after finding an old BTB article written by lebowski about bargain sires, and he talked about BL in it. I decided to give it a try, and may do so again in the future. As a 2yo, this one ran on turf for a 54 SF his first time out. He'll be running for the second time in a couple of weeks.
BK's Dessert
TIAGO X GRAND OPERA X AT TALAQ
I just wanted to give freshman sire Tiago a try here. I'll probably try him again in the future with a more expensive back end.
A Is For Awesome
APPRENTICE X BOULDER DAM X ACCIPITER
After looking through a few of the bargain sire profiles on the main website here, I wanted to look for something to use Apprentice.

As mentioned in the dam sires thread, I clicked through on a bargain bred that showed up in my stable today.
Under The Wire
ALRAYYIH X PERSONAL FLAG X BLOOD ROYAL
I was inspired by the bargain dam sire thread. There are a lot of big sires in the mix here, but no crossing at all.
This is the first homebred in one of two new stables I've put together. I'm going to keep all the horses in these two as either full bargain breds or bargain sires. I plan on experimenting with some sires as well and breeding a few times with different back ends to see what works best. If there are any sires in particular people think I should try, let me know.

I haven't bred many bargains this year, though almost all the sires I've used would fall into bargain range.
The two I have bred that would qualify for the bargain races are:
Cheap Roman => Caesour x Academy Award x Skip Away
- poor 3 y/o, and replaced already
Another Gypsy => Mogok x Royal Chalice x Caveat
- 3 y/o that just had a poor debut. I bred another, Gypsy's Warning, with the same lines last year as a 2 y/o. That one has been quite decent with a record of (9) 3-2-3. She's won her last 3 starts, the last 2 being allowances. She's a turf sprinter and scored 86 in those 2 allowance wins.

--------------------------
I didn't realize prior to doing this one that the summer breeding sale actually erased the 25-point minimum that's usually in place. I'll definitely be pulling the trigger on some more over the next couple of weeks with that in mind.
This one was named in honor of Michael Jackson, and I figured it would be appropriate since he'll most likely be sliding backwards on the track as well.

Nice job on that Indygo, mtk.
I haven't done any full-blown bargains this week, but have used three bargain sires. I forget the full bloodlines so I'll have to post once they show up in my stable.
I also plan on doing one or two bargains this weekend.
