TR – Well I’d be a monkey’s Uncle! It certainly isn’t a strike as in a physical punch but a punching strike indeed at the track by Hook Shot C3 for Johnny. I suppose the saying, “good things come in small packages” & whether big or small, a good package for Johnny it certainly is.

It appears that the purchased package of Hook Shot a created horse by breeder Johnny is a package that he wouldn’t be too eager to part with, at least not at the moment anyway. I suppose if one were to remove the letters 0 & K & add T & use the letters O & K, Hook Shot is now, Ok Hot Shot, & why not. 

Twenty-five days later a second track record by the stable has been surpassed for S16. It isn’t the twenty-five days later as much as it is that it is another New track record by the same horse & breeder, Johnny. One-hundred-thirty-three days later after signing up as Forum member, the smiling player has recorded THEIR Second Track Record in S16, making it the third record set in S16.

Johnny’s First track record was 108 days after signing up as a Forum member. Johnny has every reason under the sun to be smiling & dancing, with the possibility of even more aggressive irregular movements with his Second achievement by Hook Shot C3 at the track.

Hook Shot beat the First track record set in S16 by Shy Myth & owned by Grand Prix Stable by .02 one-hundredths of a second with Gomez G selected as jockey for six consecutive rides.

Lifetime Starts: Hook Shot C3 June 9/10 S16

Congratulations Johnny of achieving another position in the Track Record Book!
Keep up the Exceptional work!

 TR – Specialty Races hosted by individual players at DigitalDowns continues to roll out of the wood work. DigitalDowns will be implementing another series of Specialty races to the current collection of hosted Specialty races by members which will total three.

The First hosted Specialty seasonal races, The Preview Eliminator Races founded in S8 & kicking off at the start of S9 was founded by player Falcon Oaks. TPER is rated #1 & is a series of races that are ONLY for two-year-old colts & fillies. Horses are bred as one-year-olds by stables from around the world in hopes of having a horse that will be competitive enough to make it to the Final round of the series.

To make it to the Final round, horses need to be within the Top conditional requirements of finishing in Series One & Series Two. The possibly of members viewing the races with fingers crossed in hopes of being a Winner would be a gesture that many wouldn’t admit to. Members desiring to be the Winner of collecting a decent amount of coin & of course, an individual or stable being able to be proud of having accomplished a Win for the #1 Prestigious Event.

Doug of Landon’s Racers is the official score recorder for the Eliminator picking contest. What is the Eliminator picking contest? Playing members have an opportunity to forward their selections for which horse they assume will be first, second & third as each race is run. The stable with the most points at the conclusion of the series may be offered a Free breed to a stallion or mare by a stable.

Season's End Stakes II is the Second Specialty Races implemented at DD & was founded in S14 by Bald Farm Inc. & kicked off in S14. This was the first of this hosted Specialty series of seasonal races founded by Bald Farm Inc. Current season, S16 will be the third season that these races are run. This is the Second implemented Event of Prestigious Specialty seasonal races which can also be ranked as #1.

So what are the requirements for these Specialty races hosted by Bald Farm Inc.? These races are conditional races for three-year-olds & up. Entries are based on earnings of the current season & NOT on lifetime earnings. Each race has 40,000 credits added to it. These Races give ALL members an equal opportunity to enter a horse or horses & also collect substantial coin.  

Ten various conditional races are held. Should there not be sufficient entries for any particular race the race is cancelled. The races below were for S15. Whether any changes are scheduled for these races for end of current S16 was unknown at press time, but with 84 days remaining in S16 & being a ways off, time will tell.

One million dollar plus money earning horses would be a good indication that the majority of the money earned would have been in races with high payouts, such as Allowance Races but the odds would be more in favor of leaning towards Specialty Races or Stakes Races.

Specialty Races & Stakes Race payouts would be the high pinnacle for race payouts which also require higher entry fees, an indication of a well bred horse capable of performing in these Top Class Races. The larger the entry fee, the larger the payout.

Million dollar plus earners would have been entered in races with above average for entries in the fields they raced, indicating a high collection of coin for horse & stable. Especially, for a Win which pays out 50% of total purse money. Second would pay out 25%, Third would pay out 20% & Fourth would pay out 5%.

Overall, a horse capable of performing & collecting payouts in Allowance Races, Specialty Races or Stakes Races would be a horse that one can classify as well bred for the track. A Higher racing class should be a clear indication of a better pedigree. As for the stable doing any breeding at their racing domain, many already know that the chances of getting a quality foal can be a fifty fifty ordeal, 100% success or 100% failure. 100% success? 100% failure?

Is there 100% success or 100% failure? 100% success or 100% failure for a group of horses is probably impossible, for an individual horse it is very possible depending on the breeder’s expectations for the foal.

What would one class as failure? A horse incapable of competing in Allowance Races, Specialty Races or Stakes Races? A horse incapable of competing in high end claimers or conditional races? A horse incapable of competing in low end claimers or conditional races? A horse incapable of competing in any races?

No matter how one looks at it, just because one has bred a horse that isn’t capable of competing in high class races, it does not signify it as a 100% failure indicating a total loss. Is there ever a total loss? A total loss is when a horse is incapable of being able to earn a single dollar in any low end claiming race resulting in Only ALL expense for ALL entries, basically a dud, now that is a total loss.

Breeding requires a specific requisite when it comes to matching a stallion & mare. The requisite is SBP. SBP? That of injecting Selective Breeding Practices into a stable’s breeding program! SBP by a stable can go either way but, far outweighs random breeding (no specific aim in mind/such as low quality horses). In simple terms, random breeding is shooting from the hip & hoping for a hit which generates minimal success.

Random breeding is a practice that will near guarantee & will maximize results of an unsuccessful foal being reared in Top class company as a racer & even as a breeder. A very high percentage of these types of bred horses have resulted of being in low calibre races to no races to being prime bred horses Labeled "Permanent Delete". An individual’s choice, but when it comes to real money, isn’t it more appropriate to spend it in a way that will benefit the breeder resulting in more bang for their buck?

So… back to the one million dollar horse that recently earned a ranking in the Top Ten Lifetime Standings - Most Money Won.

Frontier-lass M5 (Ice Flame / Hannah Bear) Bred by Sparc Stables & bought in the auction by Ryan Express & claimed for 10,000k in her first lifetime start out of the gate from Ryan Express by current owner, Turf Downs.

Possibly, a heart breaker for both previous owners, Sparc Stables & Ryan Express but one can be assured that the two respected sportsmen continue to cheer current owner of Frontier-lass. One never knows when it can be a win lose scenario for any player playing the simulated horse racing game. Turf Downs would definitely be the winner here, and a BIG time Winner none the least, money wise & ego wise!

Colin of Turf Downs has every reason to be proud of his accomplishment of skillfully earning a position with his 10,000k claimed horse in the TOP 10 Lifetimes Standings - Most Money Won. Turf Downs skillfully & single handedly made appropriate or near appropriate selections for his One Million Dollar plus earning horse. Key selections by Turf Downs for an extremely well bred horse that helped achieve the goal of making Frontier-lass an Elite racer at the track.

Frontier-lass is the Only horse to surpass & set any new track records in S15.
