Surface: Dirt
Age: 5yo & up
Sex: Male

1) Claim a horse:
a. 2 weeks to claim (there is a 3rd week available, but your horse will be running back off 1 week break)
b. Must be claimed for less than $25k
c. No 100 SP's in the last 8 races. These are the races "visible" when viewing a horse.
d. Sex = Male
e. 1st race will be 2 weeks after deadline to claim passes. So basically 4 weeks is best case.

2) Run 3 races at various distances, 6f, 8f, 9f on DIRT.

3) Scoring:
a. Accumulate points over 3 races (Example, 1st = 10 pts, 2nd = 7, 3rd = 5, 4th = 3, 5th = 1).

4) How to win:
a. Most total points after 3 races
b. Horse with highest non-winning SP
c. Fewest points scored (must earn at least 1 pt to be eligible and run in all 3 races)

Tried 10 claims yesterday without success.

Is the first race next week or can I still claim next week and then run on 1 weeks rest?

First race is the 1st weekend in October. So you have one more week, but then need to run on 1 week rest.

Ok, thanks

I'll try and claim one this coming week that hasn't run much recently to try and make up for the 1 weeks rest.

Cheers

:oops: I guess I read this wrong as I thought 4449 was the starting week to claim a horse but I'll try and get one this coming week. Running on one weeks rest is usually hopeless but we'll see.

I'll give one more week to breed, giving you a chance for the horse to get a week off, but this will be only extension.

I'd rather have more entries, then just running it to run it.
