came home final race passwordThe next series is going to start on 11/29/08. Due to the cost, I ask any resident who can afford it to donate the cost of one race. This will not be mandatory but highly appreciated. Also, this series is open to all residents, whether extremely active or not, and whether they join the residency after this post or not. I will cap it at the first 20 entries - should we get that many.
Here are the rules for the series:
MINNESOTA SIRE SERIES
This is a contest where residents must breed a horse using a specified sire (Came Home) and that runner is restricted to running in a 12 race series over 36 weeks. The races are a mix of sprints, routes, dirt and grass races. While a horse does not have to compete in all 12 races of the series to remain eligible they are limited to running in the series and will be disqualified if they race in a race outside of the contest while it is still in progress.
The chosen sire is picked by the previous contest winner and then there is a 20 week period for residents to breed their horse (3 year old).
The purse structure for the series is as follows:
RACES 1 THRU 6---$50K PURSES
RACES 7 THRU 10---$75K PURSES
RACES 11 THRU 12---$100K PURSES
The top 3 money earners at the end of the 12 race series will earn the following credit prizes.
1ST PLACE= 3000 CREDITS
2ND PLACE=1500 CREDITS
3RD PLACE=1000 CREDITS
Races will be held every 3 weeks and will be purchased by the residence..
entrants may replace their entry at any point in the series but will lose credit for anything earned up to that point.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please enter you horse in this thread. Put the Name, Sex, ID, stable to enter. Make sure you breed a three year old. The horse will turn four early into the series; so that may be something to consider when picking blood lines.
Here is the racing schedule. :

Chuck and all,
I recommend we cut a couple races from this contest. I think it would be better to keep the contest under a year in duration and we could use the credits for other things.
Tom

chuckrock
|
I would be fine with that. any objections?
|
dundey
|
Are the residents buying these races? I thought I saw that somewhere.
Either way, I'll play - and pay for a race if needed.
But I agree that maybe it can be shortened a bit to ease the amount of races purchased.

you read it above in this thread
"Due to the cost, I ask any resident who can afford it to donate the cost of one race. This will not be mandatory but highly appreciated."

I think it should be a 12 race series. One every 3 weeks. I will also pay for one of the races.
Johnno

chuckrock

as someone who has been in both sire series til the end and had no shot at winning either one, i definitely like the idea of shortening it..even if it just means we get t the next one faster. Thus I have changed the rules to reflect this. I edited the top post so that it now has the new rules. I have also changed the prizes a little.

Call me a fool or sim ignorant Chuck, BUT, I do NOT know how to donate a race. IF one day you feel like explaining it to me, I will gladly donate one.
Also, how long do we have to breed the Came Home horse? Any restrictions on the DS or DDS?
Thanks,
Mark

1. no restriction on ds/dds - that is the point of the contest, come up with the best combo.
2. you would just transfer the cost of the race to my chuckrock account to reimburse what i lay out.
3. at the moment we are set for an 11/29 start so if that holds as long as you breed before that and are one of the first 20 to post your in. HOWEVER, I have sent a request to mike to see if he will do us a favor. If he does, then the starting week will come sooner.

Am I wrong in saying that the breeding has to be a scratch breeding and using retired mares are not allowed??

In the past - the only rules were that the horse be by the selected sire, 3yrs old, and unraced at the start of the contest. I used a he-mare last time.

the first two races have been purchased. I came across a question though.
in this series a resident has a chance to replace their entry. I think this means that the races that are post Jan 1 I have to make as 3 yr old +, so that if someone does breed a new one they can still enter. am i correct here?
|
dundey
|
Chuck,
since we have to breed a 3YO for this contest and it starts on 11/29, I don't see too many people replacing their horses. You would have to breed your replacement horse before 12/31.
But the races could be 3YO's until 12/31 and 4YO after or all 3+, does not really matter.

its 800 credits per race. my credit account is chuckrock.
feel free to send them there
when i am done purchasing i am going to ask johnno to send me something, but it definitely helps if residents donate.

ok, because i am an incredible dunce, i had to restructure the purse amounts above.
i've also just discovered that the cost of a 75k purse is 1100 credits. so keep that in mind when/if you donate. i'd imagine the 100k ones are even more.

1500 credits sent to chuckrock account.
Thanks for all your work Chuckrock.

gredit option?does anyone know if CAME HOME ever takes credits? and how many credits does a race cost? thanks
|
chuckrock
|
the races cost between 800- 1400 depending on the races' purse. All donations can be sent to mnaccount at this point, as I have been reimbursed.
Came Home is open for credits just like every other sire. If you keep missing him its likely that someone else in the res has used him to enter here.

Realize horses may not run in races outside of the series while the series is in progress but can you race the horse before the series starts?

There really is no cutoff for breeding but if you want to be in for the first race of the series you would want to have it bred and ready to run on that day.

Ok I am an idiot.
I bred a 2 year old by mistake
I'll breed a 3 year old next week as I'm using credits and don't have enough bp's to do another this week.
Obviously please disregard my previous post.
I'll post the 3 year old version next week.
Oh and I sent 500 credits to mnaccount
Sorry for the confusion

actually a little bit different than normal. since the contest spans into 2009, if you breed after new years it will be hard to compete because 1. you'll have a three year compared to our 4 year olds, and 2. a few of the races the sim wouldn't let me choose 3 yr + because of distances in 09.

Alishan... your loss, my gain! I have been looking for a Came Home 3yo to breed by points as I'm struggling financially and just can't do credits right now. His 3yo is always gone fast with credits, but sure 'nuff this week he was still available Sat night! Hope you can get the credit 3yo this week

the password is up top. as far as i can tell my list of horses is accurate. as was mentioned you can still join, just post the horse here...and i would breed before the end of the year so your horse is the same age as ours.
