I swear the generator doesn't like me
Got to start from the bottom to get back to the top. Just wonder how long that will take in the game and in life.

To give even more detail: this is just the preliminary collection of entries. It goes on for 10 days to give as many people as possible a chance to notice the contest and to enter. To keep life interesting during this time, we're holding a random draw (on the 35 people entered so far plus anybody else who enters) where two people win 1K GPs each day.
After 10 days, the fun will begin: Each person who has entered the name of only one horse which they own and which has never won in a previous Best Named Horse Contest, will have that one horse entered in one of five preliminary polls where everyone can vote for their pick of "Best Named Horse". There will be prizes for the first 3 horses and the winner of each of the preliminary polls will go on to a final poll, where there will be more prizes, including a first place prize of 30K GPs. (Details to be determined later.) Hope this is clear. If anyone has any questions, please post here or send me a PM.
---------------------------------------------

Time for the seventh day's random draw--three more to go. (I'm using a random number generator in a spread sheet to be sure to get a random selection.)

That random generator seemed to be feeling nostalgic today...Today's lucky winners are both repeat winners:
Zero Smith
Tyler Simmons

Double congratulations to you two! Game Points are on the way.

Same time tomorrow there will be another drawing. Everyone who is already entered is eligible (you can win multiple times) plus anybody entering in the next 24 hours.

Good luck to all!
:shock:

I never win anything. To get randomly picked twice is crazy! Guess it paid off to get mine in early, thanks you two!

Keys to Our Heart http://www.simhorseracing.com/horse.php?HorseID=370739
filly

Her sire is Keys to The City, so I thought she had to have the words "Keys to" in her name. Her dam's name is Amo Ut Invenio, which means "to love as I find." I thought it over and decided that Keys to Our Heart would be a good name for her because it had "Keys To" in it and it incorporated her mom's name because you can't love without a heart.

http://www.simhorseracing.com/horse.php?HorseID=346045 - Stand in Battle, maybe he can stand up for his sire in the future :D
Chris, I'm entering you in the random drawing, but you need to come up with just one entry for the actual contest. Sorry, I know it's very hard to pick just one (I agonized).
Well tbh, i kept a few out that were really good like this boy: http://www.simhorseracing.com/horse.php?HorseID=262798 Mass Effect. If you know the game you know what it is and well its very noisy. Hence the sire with Gunpowder N Lead x Ahead of the Noise combo made perfect sense to me :D I was just sharing some of mine lol ME can be my entry if you need a singular one.

If it's not too late to enter, I would LOVE to do so. Completely NOT named by me, it was through my naming contest, but I LOVED this name from the start - Pingwyne is pronounced "Penguin", and is a mix of his parents' names - "Pingu" and "Gladwyne". Pingwyne galloped "stakes" this year, so I'm really, really hoping he turns into something so that we can all breed to him and have lots of cute Penguin baby names!
