Thanks Garret! Utopia's been so fun this year. It's really too bad she can't go for the whole triple in week 14.

She could go to the Plastics Classic and race against older horses. A few years ago, that was the only option!

Week 12 gave us 3 milestones and one cool stat.

Henry Morton and Calia Mendez each picked up their first AW Route wins. The 825th and 826th people to win a race in the AWR division.

Brian Chunn picked up his 400th career AW Route win. The 14th person to do so.

Also pretty cool, Juan Valdez picked up his 2nd career AW Route victory. What makes it cool, is that it's his first AW Route win since Year 23. The third year that AW horses existed.

Congrats to Gwen Morse and Randall Allen for picking up wins in the Plastics Distaff and Plastics Classic respectively. Drogon's Dream and Fairie are both really special horses. With that note, Fairie successfully defended her World Heavyweight Championship for the 3rd time. The last time that was done was Paying the Bills and Greg Mey back in Year 54.

I just finished Year 53 and congrats to Maria Schreuder on her first career AW Route win. She is the 827th different person to win an AW Route race.

Also, Francis Filart picked up his first win since Year 44. Welcome Back.

Week 16: my horse Drogon's Dream won the Synthetic Marathon.

My apologies if the etiquette is that I'm supposed to wait for Garret to post this. I rolled out of bed and looked at my phone and I'm just so happy :D.

He's still only 5 so he's going to keep running.

Also, warm hugs for Lee Cara who gave Drogon to me. This horse has basically trained himself.
