Saudi Cup/Pegasus

Post by The Steward »

Due to popular request, the Saudi Cup races will be run Week 4.

This makes an early season triple as Week 2 is Pegasus, Week 4 Saudi Arabia, and Week 6 is Dubai. If you do all three, you can pretty much guarantee your horse will want a vacation, but the money makes it too good to pass up.

The Pegasus nominations will become a LOT cheaper now, $100k per nomination to $20k (we didn't change any of the purses), and there will be nominations for the Saudi Cup at $20k. The races are as follows:

1 1/4 miles 4+ Arabians, Arabian Classic $1.5 mil
1 1/8 miles 4+ F/M Saudi Distaff $1 mil
2 miles turf 4+ Saudi Turf Marathon $1.5 mil
5f dirt 4+ Saudi Sprint $1.5 mil
1 1/4 miles T 4+ Saudi Turf Cup $800k
1 mile 4+ Saudi Dirt Mile $800k
5f turf 4+ Saudi Turf Sprint $1 mil
1 mile turf 4+ Saudi Turf Mile $800k
1 1/8 miles 4+ Saudi Cup $5 mil

Because of this change, the Arcadia Million retains its name but purse becomes $500k (sadly mimicking real life!), and the Inglewood Gold Cup also becomes $500k.

Will these be a three horse per trainer event like the Steward's Cup and Dubai races?

Interesting. Soundness is really going to be a factor, especially going 16-2-4-6 in big G1s. I like it!

I hate, hate, HATE that people are (or might be) so sensitive that she had to add that final disclaimer.

It’s a horse racing simulation, not a referendum on human rights violations. It’s meant to mimic the racing world and this is great for that.

Please, SIM Management, don’t ever feel the need to apologize preemptively for something like this ever again. And kudos for this Week 4 addition.

That's for sure! You almost definitely need a very sound with a companion animal. Should be interesting to say the least

It's not that deep. It wasn't an apology, just a harmless disclaimer. Nothing to be mad at here!

When are the nominations for the Saudi Races I don't see it on the calendar.

I know this is an extremely hot topic amongst my friends, and my personal feelings aside have nothing to do with adding it to the SIM in fantasy land where we all just like getting money. I guarantee I'll be calling these races, too!!
