Event 4 - Relay Race

I'm going to look into buying something to enter for us in Race 4...that mile turf allowance race for 3 yo and up...stay tuned and I'll keep ya posted when I have something

Ugh! There is a whole lotta nuthin available on the sales page a) worth spending the money on and b) worth running in that race. I have a horse in South Africa that I could bring over...

He's in a stakes that he's overmatched in, so I'm gonna scratch him and ship him now to KY so he'll be available if we have nothing else...which we apparently don't. I'll plan on walking him in the shedrow early next week to speed up his recovery from the shipping across planet Earth. He should be okay and could get us some points anyway.

Looks like our best bet.

I've got three miler fillies at auction. One of them is pretty decent, at least in female company. Shame I didn't check this before I decided to sell them!

Also, Tatiana... I will give you either of my two potential entries if you don't have anything to enter.

I would love to enter one.

I just looked at them. These ones in your auction are pretty good, http://www.simhorseracing.com/horse.php?HorseID=171195, http://www.simhorseracing.com/horse.php?HorseID=174756

The first is my favorite, Patrick already has a 15,000 bid on her.

Race 1 - Cleveland Park. 1 1/8 miles. Dirt. Thoroughbred. 4-year-olds and up. Geldings. NW4 lifetime.
California Star (Todd)
OR something from Ricky

Race 2 - Cleveland Park. 6 1/2 furlongs. Dirt. Thoroughbred. 2 year olds. Colts and geldings. Maiden claiming. Claiming price - $5,000.
My God (Matt)

Race 3 - Cleveland Park. 7 furlongs. Dirt. Thoroughbred. 3 year olds and up. Fillies and mares. NW3 Lifetime. Claiming price $32,000.
Irrelevant (Matt)
In Awe of You (Phil)
We could either any of these two (Todd's horse is out because he has two in already). I think my vote goes to Phil's horse. Its a little difficult picking between them because there is such a big difference between 5 and 6 furlong races and 7 furlong races. Please respond with who you'd pick.

Race 4 - Cleveland Park. 1 mile. Turf. Thoroughbred. 3 year olds and up. Open. Allowance.
Wondertrainer (Phil)
OR something from Ricky

Race 5 - Cleveland Park. 1 1/2 miles. Turf. Thoroughbred. 3 year olds and up. Fillies and mares. Maiden claiming. Claiming price - $40,000.

Johnny Castle (Tatiana) - I own him currently but will send him to Tatiana gladly.

Race 7 - Ruidoso Raceway. 350 Yards. Dirt. Paint. 3-year-olds. Colts and geldings. Maiden claiming. Claiming price - $25,000.
Trimclad (Todd)

Any objections? Anything to add?

Hey Cleo, your horse Stands Vivified isn't a maiden, not eligible for that race unfortunately.

Sorry guys, I have been trying to find a horse to run. No luck yet, but I am still working. Believe it or not, I have no horses in my barn that are even eligible for any of these races!

I went ahead and entered Wondertrainer seeing as there didn't seem to be much else as far as options go. If you all disagree, let me know and I'll scratch him outta there. Also, I'll await word on In Awe of You before entering her.

OK, I found a horse I can enter in Race 1. He's certainly no world beater, http://www.simhorseracing.com/horse.php?HorseID=166264

but that's the best I could do. If anyone has any better ideas, I'd love to hear them. I have enough money to overpay for something to just try to win a race.

I also just picked this guy up as a possibility for the Turf Miler race http://www.simhorseracing.com/horse.php?HorseID=154453

I sent the chaser to Tatiana and bought this horse to replace Stands Vivified: http://www.simhorseracing.com/horse.php?HorseID=165602

okay...so is everyone cool with me keeping Wondertrainer entered? Also, should I get In Awe of You entered and ready to move?

For Johnny Castle, should i just enter him with no whip of should i put something else on him.
"'Johnny Castle' ducked out hard when the rider went to the left-hand stick. It's too risky, you should probably lose the whip. I think he needs one other piece of equipment too."

I'd just run him with the no whip, Tatiana. The wrong piece of equipment can make them run worse.

This is what I have for the final list, I think. Any objections? Speak now or forever hold your peace. I should send the list to Em tomorrow.

Looks good to me

The list has been sent off to Em. We're in 5th place right now and we could go to 1st if things go our way!

Well, my two are entered and should ship today. I hope they get us something.
