Hopeless Stakes is back!

[Gigi Gofaster]

The Hopeless Stakes is back this time I made it as an actual stakes race -

https://www.simhorseracing.com/race.php?RaceID=1358935


This race is for trotters who have 20 or more starts and no wins. If folks enter who don''t meet the criteria I will contact them to see if they will scratch, but of course I can't force them to. Feel free to send me a message in game as a heads up if you spot a non qualified entry.

Pitt The Elder, this one's for you.

if you want something to race, here a couple at Jaysman's:

Trot Eloise
Trot Eugene

And prospects for next year:
Must Be Devon
Stag Devon
Trot Irondelle
Trot Jackeline

[Dylan Christensen]

The second place horse from last year is coming back!

[Troy Gallant I]

Seeing 4 "non-qualified" in there now. Hopefully you can get ahold of them before Wednesday night.

[Gigi Gofaster]

All but one non-qualified horse are out. I sent Crisjay a message tonight so hopefully we will have a true field.

[Troy Gallant I]

I sent friendly notes out too. Looks like we're gtg if we can avoid entries for another 14 hours.

Thanks much to Crisjay Bellosillo, Douglas Marley, Justinmon Navarrete, Bob Allensworth, & Dan Chartier for scratching their entries so we can retain the true spirit of the tradition. And of course, thanks Gigi for the sponsorship!!

[Dylan Christensen]

Trot Glissade has finally broken his maiden! Gonna retire him to maintain that perfect undefeated stakes record!

[Troy Gallant I]

Congrats Dylan! Too bad he's been gelded. As a stakes winner, he might've had a grand career at stud!!

[Dylan Christensen]

Looked into some medical procedures on ungelding him, guess it just wasn't meant to be.

All ready for this year's edition Gigi!!

I think that's what we call 'big duck; small pond'
