Croesus Curiosity

Hello!
Newbie here; I recently discovered some of the more helpful divine horses in the game and came across Croesus. I was curious on a couple things regarding him and his abilities.

1. If you name a divine horse (e.g. Heritage horses) 'Junior Croesus', do they have a chance of becoming Croesus just as any standard horse?

2. Do your original horse's stats stay the same, or do they change to an output specific to Croesus?

3. If you have multiple Croesus', does his ability stack? e.g. If you have 3 on a regular 13th of the month, do you get 300 passes? Or do you only get 100 passes regardless of how many Croesus' you have in your possession?

4. Is it possible to be chosen multiple times, or is the only way to obtain a second (or more) Croesus' to buy them? Is it even possible to have more than one Croesus?

Thanks in advance!

1. There's nothing to suggest that only a regular horse can turn into a Croesus, although I haven't seen any official word on that. Just to be on the safe side, don't name any horse (regular or otherwise) Junior Croesus, unless you wouldn't mind losing it.

2. I believe GP stays the same, and skills as well - although skills can now increased via passes - but training and rides will be maxed out.
The new Croesus will always be a male divine riding horse with a divine coat and a Philosopher's Stone, initially 24 years old.

3. Yes, they stack. Each Croesus is independent and you will get passes from each of them. If you have three Croesus, you'll get 300 passes on the 13th of a month, if it is not a Friday.

4. There's no official thing about preventing it from happening to a particular player more than once, as far as I am aware, but since getting lucky even once is very rare, I'd imagine it doesn't happen much, if it has happened at all.
Yes, you can own more than one Croesus.

Thanks for the info, very helpful! My question to add on to this topic is does the horse have to be male? Also what is the last day that the horse has to be named before the drawing occurs?

No, the horse does not have to be male.

I would think that any horse that has the proper name at the time of the drawing would have a chance. Either that, or if it has been named before the daily update on the day the drawing occurs. Like with most things, Howrse doesn't give us all the nitty gritty details, so we have to make educated guesses based on what we've seen happen.

Keep in mind that your chances of having a junior become a senior are very low - roughly 1 in 160,000 at the moment, I'd estimate - so don't hold your breath.

There are less than 5,000 Croesus in the game, and only around 250 are from Juniors. Most are bought from Howrse, either with passes or real money, or won in luck items (I imagine Croesus might also have been an event Jackpot once upon a time, perhaps).

I recommend that you name one horse that you don't care about "Junior Croesus," and then forget about the drawing.
