Mixer Stakes - Appy Proposal

Post by Laura Ferguson »

Appy Stakes. This is the breed in most need of help. When I started this, I was thinking more in line of some $75k stakes, but it is clear what is needed more are some G2s ($125k) and G3s ($100k). So, this is all subject to Steward approval, but here is what I'm proposing to send to her, broken out by division (for ease of reading, I'm breaking out the other two divisions as replies to this original post).

Sprinters - currently 10 G1s, 2 G2s for 7% graded stakes. If all of my proposed races were added, the percentage would rise to 15%

2yos - currently two G1s (four total), W6W and W16W, one player-owned track G3 W1W

That looks great, I can't imagine the amount of time it took to work this out, but super THANK YOU! You have really outdone yourself. Heading out the door while on Vacay.

I think Paints would be similar. Only quick thought would be to TEMPORARILY reduce the Appy and Paint lifetime stud earnings needed to 250K, maybe for current 4 and older. Later...........

I appreciate the time and effort you've put into this. A restructuring of stakes races would certainly make it more interesting to campaign a high-level or close-to-high-level mixer, without A-tier and S-tier constantly slugging it out in 50k stakes.
