The first mixed breed racing night of the year. 17 runners tonight, hopefully with no injuries!! I put a few in as fillers and I'm hoping that the races didn't fill up last night after I went to bed.
Amal - 6-year-old Arabian mare - One of my filler horses, she's in a 35K claimer with a purse of 10K, five horse field. 5 11
As'ad - 7-year-old Arabian horse - I sponsored a small 50K stakes for him, five horse field, hope he does okay. Just vetted him and he's still a bit tired though he hasn't done anything since week 15. Doesn't bode well, I might vet him again in a few hours and see if there is any change. 1 68 Injured
Back Off - 7-year-old QH gelding - He's running in a 50K stakes, seven horse field. He's probably out of his element with all of the younger horses but I put him in anyway. He vetted at his peak which is so confusing since he raced week 15 too. 1 67
Blind Unicorn - 4-year-old Arabian gelding - A $10 purchase off of the sales page. Bought him mainly to be a filler but I don't really know anything about him yet. This is his first race for me and his third start overall. Running in a MSW, five horse field for 10K. Hasn't raced since week 10 of last year. 5 30
Carry Me - 3-year-old Appy filly - Finally broke her maiden last time out. Tonight she's in a 10K NW2, five horse field. 5 34
Dream Trail - 3-year-old trot gelding - Bought as a filler, this is his second start for me. Running in a 10K NW2, five horse field. 4 46
Emotions in Motion - 3-year-old trot filly - Running in a 12K MSW, six horse field.
3 50
Flash of Fire - 3-year-old trot colt - Running in a 15K NW2, seven horse field. Not really sure how he'll do here. 4 64
Fuel to the Fire - 4-year-old Arabian gelding - Another $10 purchase bought mainly as a filler. This is his first start for me, running him at a new distance in a 10K MSW, four horse field. 2 43
Happy Days Again - 3-year-old trot filly - Broke her maiden last out. Tonight she's in a 15K NW2, four horse field. 3 61
Hotter Than Mojave - 3-year-old Appy colt - Trying him at a new distance tonight in a 10K NW2, four horse field. 1 64
Just Another Smile - 4-year-old pace filly - CAH - Running in a 50K listed stakes more as a filler than having any chance, four horse field. 4 58
Justin Credible - 3-year-old QH gelding - I originally bought him as a filler but he manages to hold his own pretty well. Running in a listed 50K stakes, three horse field. 1 65
Karim - 4-year-old Arabian gelding - Another filler, running in a 10K NW3, five horse field. 5 47
Mayday - 3-year-old Appy filly - Filler, running in a 10K MSW, five horse field.
5 43
Rhodonite - 5-year-old Arabian mare - I paid $1 for her off of the sales page, hoping she'll turn into a nice filler. Running in a 10K NW3, four horse field. This is her first race for me. 3 60
Two Bits - 6-year-old Paint gelding - Probably outmatched in this listed 50K stakes with a eight horse field, but he hasn't raced since week 12 so I thought I'd put him in for the exercise if nothing else! 3 63
Earnings for the night - $97,150

Monday Year 26 Week 1
First race night of the new year. I have 31 running tonight, I'm not really expecting much from any of them, more that I want to see how they do so I can continue my culling process. Also some new steeplechasers. I don't think I have any of my new 2-year-olds running tonight as those races are loaded this early.
Anger Issues - 4-year-old chase filly - One of the recent $10 purchases from the sales page, this is her first start as a chaser. She's running in a 10K MSW, eleven horse field. 4 61
Astral Queen - 5-year-old chase mare - Hasn't done too well chasing, still a maiden after five starts, I'm running her with only a week's rest in a 12K MSW, three horse field, the third horse is an AJ filler. 2 47 Injured
Bilk - 5-year-old chase mare - This is her second start as a chaser, came in third first out. She's running in a 10K MSW, four horse field. 2 55
Demand - 5-year-old dirt route mare - Another one of the $10 purchases, she has chase potential so if she does poorly here I just send her over the jumps next. Trying her at a long route in a 12K MSW, seven horse field. She hasn't raced for over a year.
6 26 Injured
Derby Hat - 4-year-old dirt route filly - I bought her as a filler at the end of last year and she surprised me by winning first out with a 65 SF in a full field. I'm trying her in a small 100K Grade 3 stakes, five horse field. 3 53
Done In Jest - 5-year-old chase gelding - This is his second start chasing, came in fifth first out. I'm running him on only one weeks rest in a small 12K MSW, three horse field. 3 43 Injured/Pensioned
Enforce the Trail - 4-year-old filler filly - I'm just hoping she doesn't get injured. She's running off of a one week rest and a long ship. 10K NW2, four horse field. 4 30 Injured
Face Value - 3-year-old turf sprint gelding - Running in a 10K MSW, eight horse field. I usually use him as a filler so I'm curious to see how he does in a fuller field.
4 43
Forgotten Dynasty - 4-year-old dirt route filly - This is her second start for me, I bought her to be a filler as she has some confused breeding. Tonight she's running in a 20K allowance, four horse field. 4 45
Fort - 5-year-old chase mare - Bought her for $100, ran her as a filler in a stakes where she made 3500K, she has chaser potential so this is her first outing over the jumps. She's in a 12K MSW, six horse field. 4 41
Golden Warrior - 3-year-old dirt route filly - She's bred to run in long routes which aren't available yet, so tonight she's in a 25K sponsored restricted short route for NW2, eight horse field, all maidens except for one. 2 59
Heap of Virtue - 4-year-old dirt route filly - One of my better fillers, running in a 100K listed stakes, five horse field, she'll probably be fifth but that's okay. 5 40
Holder Hall - 5-year-old dirt route gelding - One of my original DTD guys, though I've felt he's been a bit of a disappointment, he is the 14th top earner for his sire, so I should cut him some slack. He's running tonight in a 65K listed stakes, five horse field. 4 53
Holiday Road - 4-year-old dirt route filly - A $10 sales page buy, first start for me. Lightly raced but with not too much upside. I'm trying her at a long route in a 25K claimer, eleven horse field. This is her first race in a year and I'm stripping off all of her equipment from her old owner. 6 32
Impala - 3-year-old filler filly - Running in a 75K listed stakes, four horse field. Bred for turf, this is on dirt so a fourth will be fine. 4 21
Irocket - 4-year-old dirt route gelding - CAH - $10 purchase, raced only once at a mile, no workouts. Running tonight in a 12K MSW, four horse field. 4 38
Knoxville - 4-year-old filler gelding - Running in a 32K claimer, 15K purse, four horse field. 4 41
Lasting Bond - 3-year-old filler filly - First start for me. Running in a sponsored 25K NW2, five horse field. 5 15
Lie Low - 2-year-old all weather sprinter - The only 2-year-old I'm running tonight. A bit of an experimental baby at that. The only one I bred to be an all weather horse so I'm curious how he will do. He'll probably want to be a miler but I'm trying him out at a sprint. Running in a 12K MSW, full field. 10 27
Light From Above - 4-year-old dirt mile gelding - First start for me, I really bought him as a filler as he has slow works and not a very good race record. However a sixth horse showed up in this field so he's probably not earning a check tonight. 12K MSW, six horse field. 6 19
Light the Fire - 4-year-old dirt sprint gelding - First start for me, another $10 horse. Hasn't run in over a year and a half. Running in a 12K MSW, three horse field. 3 48

Queen of Morning - 4-year-old dirt route filly - $10 purchase, first start for me. Running in a NW2, eleven horse field. Not expecting too much here, she'll probably move into the filler ranks after this race, unless she can chase. 11 12
Strange Meeting - 3-year-old dirt mile filly - Running in a 20K NW3, four horse field. 3 54
Sunday Minx - 6-year-old chase mare - Fairly consistent chaser mare, running in a 45K stakes, five horse field. 4 64

Start of Year 26
The new SIM year started early this morning. For once I had no barren mares or bucked shins in my 2-year-olds. However, counting my mixed breeds, I now have 262 racing horses. I won't be able to test any of my new 4-year-olds for jumper ability until Monday which is also when I will be able to put in my first entrants for week 1 races. I still have around 70 TB yearlings to name but I'm trying to hold off until I at least galloip them. A little anxious for Monday.

Wednesday Year 25 Week 16 11/18/09
This is the last mixed breed racing night for Year 25. 19 running tonight.
Amir - 4-year-old Arabian colt - Fairly consistent but not lightning fast. Stretching him out to 2 miles tonight in a sponsored 200K Grade 1 stakes, eight horse field, over a sloppy track. He's run once before at this distance and finished fourth. There's a lot of really good horses in this field, I won't be surprised if he finishes out of the money.
7 64
Colour of Love - 4-year-old Paint colt - First start for me. He's only ever run at 870 yards, I wanted to try him at a new distance but there wasn't anything available. He's running in a sponsored 75K stakes, three horse field. 3 58
Cracklin' Rosie - 2-year-old QH filly - Not very fast but usually holds her own in a small field. Tonight she's running in an allowance at a longer distance, three horse field. 3 50
Docs Buck'n Baby - 2-year-old trotter filly - Second start for me, not a very quick filly despite getting the wings comment from MW. She's running in a MSW, nine horse field. 3 55
Dream Eater - 4-year-old Arabian filly - CAH - She's running in a NW2, full field, I expect she'll finish at the back of the pack. 11 60
Faiza - 6-year-old Arabian mare - I sponsored a Grade 3 stakes for her to try and boost her earnings since she missed so much time racing, three horse field so she'll earn something. 1 75
Heart of the Night - 3-year-old trot filly - Still a maiden after ten starts, despite getting the wings comment, running in a MSW, four horse field, and I still don't think she'll break her maiden. 2 41
I Like to Jog - 5-year-old trot gelding - He's running in a 50K sponsored stakes, eight horse field, if I'm really lucky he'll get up for a small piece of it but I doubt it.
4 60
Iba - 4-year-old Arabian filly - Bought her as a filler and she serves her purpose. Tonight she's running in a 15K claimer, four horse field. 3 35
Jada - 4-year-old Arabian filly - CAH - Running in a NW4, three horse field, she's the only maiden, I'm expecting her to come in last. 3 57
Kasida - 5-year-old Arabian mare - I sponsored a 75K stakes for her, I'll probably retire her after this race, seven horse field, it doesn't look like she'll win but hopefully she gets up for a piece of it at the end. 2 69
Likes Kids - 2-year-old Appy gelding - First start for me. Running him at a new distance in a 150K sponsored stakes, four horse field. He's the only maiden. 3 61
Mooby - 3-year-old Appy gelding - Really a filler but more horses entered this race and I just decided to run him anyway. MSW, six horse field. 2 50
Oxiclean - 3-year-old Appy gelding - Another that I usually run as a filler but decided to let him run the race after more horses entered. MSW, seven horse field.
1 55
Quickerthanfire - 2-year-old QH gelding - Second start for me, another filler, running in an allowance, three horse field. 1 52
Rare Lil Maverick - 3-year-old Paint filly - Another filler, running in a sponsored 150K Grade 2 stakes, five horse field. 5 54
Speak for Yourself - 4-year-old trot filly - CAH - Running in a NW4, eleven horse field, I don't expect her to do well and will probably retire her right after this race.
5 59
White Hot Star - 4-year-old QH filly - CAH - Running in a sponsored MSW, full field. Not sure how she'll do, there are a lot of AJ/Steward sale horses in this race.

Earnings for the night - $135,080
Amir - 4-year-old Arabian colt - Fairly consistent but not lightning fast. Stretching him out to 2 miles tonight in a sponsored 200K Grade 1 stakes, eight horse field, over a sloppy track. He's run once before at this distance and finished fourth. There's a lot of really good horses in this field, I won't be surprised if he finishes out of the money.
7 64
Colour of Love - 4-year-old Paint colt - First start for me. He's only ever run at 870 yards, I wanted to try him at a new distance but there wasn't anything available. He's running in a sponsored 75K stakes, three horse field. 3 58

Faiza - 6-year-old Arabian mare - I sponsored a Grade 3 stakes for her to try and boost her earnings since she missed so much time racing, three horse field so she'll earn something. 1 75
Heart of the Night - 3-year-old trot filly - Still a maiden after ten starts, despite getting the wings comment, running in a MSW, four horse field, and I still don't think she'll break her maiden. 2 41
I Like to Jog - 5-year-old trot gelding - He's running in a 50K sponsored stakes, eight horse field, if I'm really lucky he'll get up for a small piece of it but I doubt it.

Monday Year 25 Week 16 11/16/09
This is the last week of racing for Year 25. I have 21 running tonight, some are mares that will be retired for breeding, some I'm running to see if they're worth keeping, and some I'm running because they're due for a race.
Aces High - 5-year-old chase gelding - He has three wins and a second place finish out of six starts. He's running tonight in an allowance with a full field, looks competitive. With luck he'll get up for a check but I'm not counting on it. 3 84
Amador - 2-year-old gelding - Four starts on dirt and no wins, only two fourth place finishes. I was about to put him on the sales page last night and decided to try him on all weather, his all weather works as a yearling weren't bad. So he's in a maiden race, eight horse field. 5 33
Astral Queen - 4-year-old chase filly - Four starts chasing, has one second place finish. Running tonight in a 30K claimer, six horse field. 4 45
Chickesaw - 2-year-old dirt mile filly - I haven't been able to figure this girl out yet. As a yearling she received the "wings" comment and put out some fast workouts. She's raced twice with a fifth and sixth place finish. I'm cutting her back to a mile tonight to see if there is any difference. I actually feel she needs to go longer and won't have that chance until she's three but I thought I may as well give her a start at a mile so I can get that out of the equation. She's running in a maiden race with a four horse field. 1 64
Done In Jest - 4-year-old chase gelding - This is his first race as a chaser, he's running in a 100K sponsored stakes, five horse field. 5 53
Force Majeure - 3-year-old dirt route gelding - first start for me, trying him out at a long route for the first time. He's running in a Starter Allowance with four others.
3 50
Forever In Gold - 2-year-old turf route filly - Second start, won first out but her speed figure wasn't the best (58). She's running in a sponsored 100K stakes in Brazil, seven horse field. Most have won races with higher speed figures but I'm hoping she can get up at the end for a piece of it. 4 47
Icarus Flight - 3-year-old dirt route filly - Running in a MSW, four horse field, all are filler types so this is anyone's race. 1 59
Mighty Victory - 2-year-old dirt route filly - Third start, has two fourth place finishes. Running in a MSW, eleven horse field, stretching her out from a mile. 3 51
Nuclear - 3-year-old dirt route colt - Running in a 150K Grade 2 stakes in Panama, five horse field. He has a good chance to be in the top three at the end. 3 60
Orlando - 4-year-old chase gelding - Running in a MSW, three horse field. 2 66
Reach The World - 5-year-old chase mare - Her chase record isn't too bad, 10: 3-3-2, so I threw her into a 100K Grade 2 stakes race, eight horse field. There's a lot of good chasers in this field and I'm not expecting her to get a check. 7 57
Rose Manor - 4-year-old chase filly - Running in an allowance, nine horse field.
3 84
Shorebird - 3-year-old dirt route filly - Running in a MSW, six horse field and a very long route. She should at least finish in the top five. 4 48
Silent Cry - 2-year-old all weather miler colt - Third start, first start on all weather, has a second and a third in his two turf outings. His all weather work was okay. Running in a maiden race, ten horse field. 5 36
Songs About Rain - 5-year-old chaser mare - Hasn't done very well chasing, has four OTB placings out of ten starts. She's running in an allowance, ten horse field. Not really expecting her to earn anything tonight. 9 38
Speed of Darkness - 2-year-old dirt sprint filly - Third start, has two fifth place finishes (on turf), running in a 100K Grade 2 stakes, five horse field. 5 23
The Darkest Noir - 2-year-old turf route filly - Won last out, not a great speed figure. Tonight she's in a sponsored 100K stakes, seven horse field, there's a chance that she'll be in the final five at the end. 6 36
Tiger Rag - 3-year-old dirt route filly - Second start for me, came in second last out, running in a MSW, six horse field. She has a chance to finish in the top five. 3 50
Water Landing - 5-year-old turf mile mare - A router that has been struggling, moving her back to a mile and running her in an allowance, eleven horse field. She'll probably retire after this race either way. 11 20
Weird - 5-year-old chaser mare - Finally broke her maiden last out, running in a NW3 because it was the only thing available. eleven horse field. 7 52
Yume Promise - 2-year-old dirt mile filly - Third start, running in a MSW, eleven horse field. 9 30

Friday Year 25 Week 15 11/13/09
Only one week of racing left for this SIM year. I've been trying to get all of my mares bred and have done pretty well with it, I think I have less than ten left to breed.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that I had won the Breeder's Cup handicapping contest on the forum. The prize is 50 Game Points which equals $50 in real life, I am shocked that I won. Now I wish I had gone to the track and bet some real money on some of those races!
Later today there is to be a mixed breed broodmare sale on the sales page. There is a limit of 5, I think I'll try to get one of each breed except the Pacers which I have rotten luck with anyway. I didn't see any mention of the price but I assume it will probably be something close to what the first or second group of mixers were.
Tonight I have 25 running, only one I am really interested in "Night Race" a 2-year-old who got a 67 first time I raced her at her proper distance. (I messed up her first race.) The rest are mostly fillers or horses I'm just trying to decide if I want to keep or not. I've been dumping a few onto the sales page every other day to offset the foals that have been coming in.
Autochthoe - 2-year-old turf root filly - She's running in a 32K claimer tonight, five horse field, there's a slim possibility that she breaks her maiden. 3 45
Dionysia - 3-year-old dirt mile filly - She is basically a filler, bred to be a turf horse but very slow at it. Unimpressive. Tonight she's on dirt running in a MSW, four horse field. 3 40
Enforce the Trail - 3-year-old turf route filly- Another filler that is running on the wrong surface. MSW, four horse field. 4 15
Fire Song - 4-year-old all weather route gelding - My expensive yearling that never panned out, now a filler. Running in a Starter Allowance, four horse field. 2 50
Give Candy - 2-year-old turf mile gelding - Running in a 75K stakes in Spain, five horse field. He might get up for fourth. 5 44
Gremlin - 3-year-old dirt route gelding - Filler that I'm holding onto just to see if he might turn out to be a possible chaser. Running in a maiden race with a four horse field. 4 34
Guns and Daggers - 2-year-old dirt route filly - Another expensive yearling, I bought her for 126K at auction, Mary Weather gave her the wings comment, her works have been encouraging. She's raced twice, she was fifth first out on a muddy track and than won her second start in a 75K claimer with a speed figure of 65. Tonight she's running in a 250K Grade 1 stakes with a six horse field. She should get up for some sort of money, or at least I hope so. 4 54
