Evening Talking Harse's, (Forgive my attempt at Irish lingo)

The general idea of this game is very much based around the thread I made last week around putting yourself in the horses shoes so to speak, well the idea of that was to have a quick flowing thread but things never went to plan although I have higher hopes here.

I've watered down the process so that everyone can understand how to play, follow along and hopeful join in without too much thought processing as I understand many of you work intensive hours in hot and stuffy places. The poster will say how much they would pay for the horse above then post a horse of their own below and then a user will come back to post a value of the horse above then post one horse of their own. an example of how the game should be played;

Poster 1
SHERGAR (3, B, C) Sir Michael Stoute, Legend Status, Iconic figure

Poster 2
£175,000

FRANKEL (3, B, C) Sir Henry Cecil, Legend Status, Unbeaten

Poster 3
£75,000

BEWITCHED (3, B, M) Charles O'Brien, Top Quality Mare, Strong Sprinter

Poster 2 will be owner of Shergar for £175,000
Poster 3 will be owner of Frankel for £75,000


1. There will be a 1 hour limit on all auctions, if for any unforeseen circumstances a horse is not bought then the we will require a new horse auction - all un-sold horses will be removed from the game and should be made clear by the auctioneer before entering a new auction preferably as so (Underlinded and captial UNSOLD sign);
HARBOUR WATCH (3, B, C) Richard Hannon, Classic Prospect, Resemblance to Canford Cliffs - UNSOLD



I will mark up all of the data in the thread with the values that people have paid then I will subtract the actual cost leaving most of you in the red unless you've cheated (No RP Allowed).

1.You will each be given £500,000 to spend on purchasing your horses in this thread,
2.You will all be given a bank account of £100,000 and it's entirely up to you on how you manage to get all your property back in the red again through win, each way bets and including the actual prize money won in real life.

Simple?

Let me start, first come first serve and make this thread flow!

I was going to post a cash prize for the top three who managed to turn their stable into a profit.

Looks like getting anything started on this website is impossible, think i'll give it a shout over at Final Furlong.

Don't take it personally Bruce. You remind me of a mad professor, who keeps experimenting and I have no doubt there's a hidden genius in there. At the moment though you're over thinking your formats, every time I read one of these posts it doesn't feel like Talking Horses but more like Silence Of The Lambs. Quid Pro Quo. ;)

Hannibal Lecter: First principles, Clarice. Simplicity. Read Marcus Aurelius. Of each particular thing ask: what is it in itself? What is its nature? What does he do, this man you seek?

Clarice Starling: He kills women...

Hannibal Lecter: No. That is incidental. What is the first and principal thing he does? What needs does he serve by killing?

Clarice Starling: Anger, um, social acceptance, and, huh, sexual frustrations, sir...

Hannibal Lecter: No! He covets. That is his nature. And how do we begin to covet, Clarice? Do we seek out things to covet? Make an effort to answer now.

Clarice Starling: No. We just...

Hannibal Lecter: No. We begin by coveting what we see every day. Don't you feel eyes moving over your body, Clarice? And don't your eyes seek out the things you want?
