So I hate killing horses before they run at least 1 race. And have an annoying problem keeping them much longer than that. I go through the list on the daily report almost everyday and see tons of horses getting the chop before running. So I wanted to propose a series and get some feedback.
Night Of The Living Dead
I was thinking every Friday night as that card seems to be small every week.
7F, 9F, 11F probably one each for Colts and Fillies Maybe even no Gelds as that is what is mostly running low level claimers and wouldn't take away from them
Make the entry fee only 500 with normal payouts so the purses for these races is small and insignificant
Try to limit these races to horses that are running times that would normally get them the chop
10920, 13620, 15040 etc
It would be hard to police the times but I think the small payouts would deter stables running horses that could get wins elsewhere as you would be wasting a race for basically no payout.
It would provide a platform to keep some bloodlines alive even if the horse is not a good racer. Could even prove some to be a lot better racers than workouts show. Not allowing Gelds would mean it shouldn't take much away from the low level claimers.
Let me know what you think, I for one would like to have something like this instead of running my Colts and Fillies I want to get to 10 races in 1k claimers
