Congratulations! 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.

I had a hard time deciding what to enter here, but ended up going with the apple-for-teacher option. I give you:

The Beagle (Heed My Call x Darwin's Voyage)

Named derived from his dam obviously, just to clear up any potential misunderstandings :)

http://www.simhorseracing.com/horse.php?HorseID=322645 - Magick Missile, because everyone's hopefully heard that skit.

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).

I see we can do multiple entries so I am offering 1 more (Not sure if he was ever previously entered)

http://www.simhorseracing.com/horse.php?HorseID=330428
DUMBANDIT: Dumbledore/Astonishing Bandit

The first time I saw this horse he made me laugh and I knew I just had to have him. I made an offer to his owner and got no reply. I think he has since left the game. Anyway, Dumbandit turned up in AJ's barn and now he's mine!! Whoot Whoot!

Now tell me honestly..does anyone else out there besides me keep a total screwball around just for the fun of it or am I the only one?

Just this morning he was caught raiding the track kitchen and making off with the lettuce. :x

Oh, I'll work him regularly and maybe even let him race if he stays out of trouble.
He's a gelding but he won't admit it. Still making a nuisance of himself around the ladies. We'll have to work on that.

We can't do multiple entries, Chris made a mistake and Jeb explained to him that you can't put in more than one entry.

Matilda, Thanks for clarifying the rules!

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!
