HEY EVERYBODY:

PAZJAZZ WANTED TO START A NEW CONTEST IN THE REZ AND HAS COME UP WITH THE FOLLOWING SO LET'S GET SIGNED UP AND START TO PLAY.

This is a contest for the Minnesota Downs Residency to build BPs in stables during the contest to eventually breed some nice ponies for our residency stable to use as prizes.

The best thing about this fun contest is that you are not only helping out Minnesota Downs and having a chance to win great prizes but you also really learn the best way to build up BPs in your own stables!!

So take a look around and if it looks like fun, go to the sign up page and get started! The contest will be on a first-come, first-served basis with the available stables so don't be late!

THE RULES AND STABLES AND SIGN UP PAGE IS LISTED AT THE CONTEST HOMEPAGE AT THE FOLLOWING LINK:

What will be the plan with these stables once the contest is over? I got one nice 3yo in the auction for $1, and a few other useful horses in my barn, so I wouldn't mind holding the stable once the contest is done. Of course after breeding a nice horse for the prize pool...as long as I have the 400 bp's. If you need the stable back, that's no problem as well, just curious.

A very rewarding contest that benefits the rez too. It was a favourite of mine as you know at GSR Paz, I'm so glad that you saw fit to run it here. Very Happy

Doza, you are setting a great pace the total is even more impressive considering they were new stables with crappy starting horses.

The Rich get Richer!!! Doza and Wenlock both put up triple figure weeks which is a first for the contest. Lots of solid weeks though including Cothill, Theo and BigRick!

The new standings are up. Way to go guys!

PazJazz · Stakes Joined: 27 Oct 2007 Posts: 179

Dozq has another amazing week! We are basically at the half way point so far and the goal is to get to at least 400 BPs. Doza has amassed 444! His stable which was started from scratch and has some pretty nasty nags has a 31% win percentage and 62% ITM percentage!

What are you feeding those horses anyway Doza?

The new standings are up. Way to go guys!

PazJazz · Stakes Joined: 27 Oct 2007 Posts: 179

Wenlock makes a big push and is currently only SEVEN points behind Doza!

The results for this week are up!

PazJazz · Stakes Joined: 27 Oct 2007 Posts: 179

Updated with another good week by Doza and APHill making a move as well!

PazJazz · Stakes Joined: 27 Oct 2007 Posts: 179

Results are updated! With three weeks to go in the contest, Doza still leads with Wenlock close behind. A big move the past couple of weeks by APHill. It appears that we may get four nice prize horses from this contest.

I'm looking for signups for the next contest that will start the first week of 2008. Sign up in the post below. Good Luck all!

Results are updated! APHill is making a big move and is the third stable that will get to breed a prize horse this contest. Way to go!

Only two weeks remain and we are accepting two more owners for Stables in the next contest.

I was wondering if you are allowed to transfer horses into your stable from another stable you have?

Thanks Jack

Results are up heading into the last week. This week will be the last with the stable for the current owners EXCEPT for the three and possibly four who will get to breed a prize horse. We would normally breed them this week but will wait until next week to keep them as two year olds a bit longer.

I will send out the passwords for the new stable owners this weekend.

The final results are up for the first Minny Rez BP Contest!

Congrats to Doza for gaining 687 BPs and finishing first. Please reply here where you want your 750 credits sent.

Wenlock finished second with 590 and will recieve 250 credits.

In addition, both APHill with 477 BPs and a late rush with 95 BPs in the final week to put Cothill over the 400 point barrier with 418 points will enable them to also breed prize horses for the Minny Rez Prize Barn.

The new babies should show up the end of this week and I will let you know when they get to the prize barn.

Congrats to all of the winners and the new contest starts this week.

I've got the accounts on file and the credits have been transferred.

As for the prizehorses Doug I will leave it to you how you want to use them in the future.

I'm runnin' the mnneapolis stable this time around ( I think ). I was beatin' my brains in wondering why I didn't land four claims that I should have this week ( 3462 ). I just got home from work and now found out why. Four very nicely bred 2yos were transfered in. Anyone know what gives? Shocked

THEO · Posted: Sun Jan 13, 2008 2:08 pm Post subject:

Looks like Pazjazz sent them to the wrong stable I am guessing but I have opened up 2 rez holding stables starting next week so you can transfer those horses to them next week.

Sorry about that but I am assuming that is what happend.

The rez holding account is:

minnyhold1
minnyhold2

Cheers
