Dirt Sprint Champs Contest

Post by Gigi Gofaster »

So, the dirt sprint champs could be wide open this year, so I'm bringing back this contest, just for fun. Before post time on Friday week 14, pick the trifecta for the sprint championships in week 16. That's right, pick your champs final trifecta, before the elimination races run!

Prizes? I'll figure something out, for sure I'll put in a few K of Game points, free breedings to my dirt sprint studs, and maybe a ds mare lease or a yearling, plus any prizes I get from anybody else who wants to pitch in.

Here's how I'll score it:

One 'starter' point for each of your trifecta horses that runs in the final.
One bonus point for each of your picks that gets on the board, two if you have the winner.
One bonus point for each of your trifecta in the right spot.
If you get the trifecta exactly, you already have ten points. Good for you. You win.

Post your pix here, and it's okay if we have duplicates; I'll just split the prizes. Deadline is 7:59 p.m. Pacific on Friday, week 14. Now go make your picks!

Here are the qualifier links - remember horses may switch heats or get added/scratched as we get closer to Friday, so you can edit or update your picks up until post time.

Some 'fun facts' about this year's qualifier entries. 18 entries total:

5 are fillies, one gelding.

There is one steward bred in each heat, but only one.

Chris Barber and Xander Zone have an entry in each heat

13 different owners and 13 breeders (including the Steward) represented.

6 owners have won the champs before (Brianna 6 times, last in year 55, Xander 5 times including last year, Jon Xett 4 times, last in year 33, Gigi 4 times, last in year 48, Gavin Guile once in year 54 and Chris Barber once in year 57.

All 3 of xander's runners were bred by him. Mike Bryant is the only other breeder with multiple entries, with 2.

Other than Steward Breds, only 3 horses are running for a trainer that did not breed the horse.

12 sires represented with Dhevyn having a whopping 5 of them. Lord prism and Spiritus Invictus each have 2.
15 dam sires represented, Walkoff Grandslam has 3 and Decency has 2

fast 2f work is 21.44 by King Crowder, fast 3f work is 34.59 by Royal.

Highest race speed figure is Royal with 93.
