Y46 Different Career Challenge

It's Coming back. The 2 Year-Old Different Career Challenge will be returning for a 2nd year.

For those of you unfamiliar, It’s a 9 race series running throughout Year 45. There will be one race for each of the different surface/distance combinations, available for 2YO horses that galloped “Different Career”. To be eligible, you must nominate your horse below with proof that your horse has galloped Different Career. Each person can nominate no more than 2 horses. The races will be claiming races with the max tag that can be put on them. This is limited to the first 12 that are nominated.

The races will award points for finishing positions as follows 12 for 1st, 11 for 2nd, 10 for 3rd…you get the picture, all the down to 1 point for 12th. The highest score after the 9 race schedule will be crowned the Champion of the Different Career Challenge, and hopefully there will be some donated prizes available to be won.

The schedule will be as follows:

Week 1 Day 1 - Dirt Sprint - Race A, Race B, Race C
Week 3 Day 1 - All Weather Sprint - Race A, Race B, Race C
Week 5 Day 1 - Turf Sprint - Race A, Race B, Race C
Week 7 Day 1 - All Weather Mile (Actually a long sprint because of limitations) - Race A, Race B, Race C
Week 9 Day 1 - Dirt Mile - Race A, Race B, Race C
Week 11 Day 1 - Turf Mile - Race A, Race B, Race C
Week 13 Day 1 - Dirt Route - Race A, Race B, Race C
Week 15 Day 1 - All Weather Route - Race A, Race B, Race C
Week 16 Day 5 - Turf Route - Race A, Race B, Race C

All races will be open claimers with a $10,000 purse, meaning $90,000 will be on the line for horses that would normally would struggle to earn $100.

It will require the use of $9,000 game points per 12 horses entered, which I will put up enough for 1 round of races, but if you would like to help with that cost, or offer up a prize/reward that would be great. Check out your yearlings and see if you have anything that fits the criteria.

There are possible issues with someone entering a horse that is not part of the contest, or a horse being claimed (hopefully the high claiming tag will take care of half of those concerns). Hopefully that won’t be an issue, or that person can be convinced to scratch a horse that isn’t part of the contest.

Nominations are now open, and I'll start with my two:

Zeke's Ahead

Y45-W3-D4 Trainer: 'Zeke's Ahead' looked a little stiff and awkward out there today. Have you thought about other career options?
Y45-W3-D1 Galloped
Y45-W3-D1 Trainer: I wasn't too impressed with Zeke's Ahead's gallop. Hopefully, he will show some improvement next time, or he may never see a starting gate!

and

Bolt Ankle

Y45-W3-D1 Trainer: I wasn't too impressed with Bolt Ankle's gallop. Hopefully, he will show some improvement next time, or he may never see a starting gate!
Y45-W2-D3 Galloped
Y45-W2-D3 Trainer: 'Bolt Ankle' looked a little stiff and awkward out there today. Have you thought about other career options?
