Record Holder Challenge (Chaser Edition - OVER)

[Chani Ruzzo]

This is a contest looking for the next Record Holder!

I was noticing that since the first generation of chasers, we haven't really had "The Next Big Thing" when it comes to Jump racing. So I challenge EVERYONE to a race to the Records page to find that "Next Big Horse" We are well into the Second generation breeding (Horses 5 through 8) so that I'm sure we can find a new one!

The First Record Broken:
Owner will receive 30,000 gamepoints and 500,000 SIM cash - Awarded to Lee Kay Shipyard and Song for Ten

The Second Record Broken:
Owner will receive 10,000 gamepoints and 100,000 SIM cash - Awarded to Arthur Culter and Aka Assassin

What a cool challenge!

Is this the challenge that moves Slay the Dragon into chasing? I've been on the fence (pun intended) re: giving him a shot a chasing and maybe it's time. His daddy, Knighted ran .37 off the 2 5/8 record, .68 off the 3 mile and 4 mile records and STD is faster at most distances that daddy was.

Only problem is once you decide to chase you can never go back.

[Jennifer Francis]

I guess I'm a little slow but what times are we looking for as to which was the fastest or what?

[Bradley Davis]

First horse to break a record time (as per the list Chani provided in her original post) wins the prize. Second horse to break a record time wins second prize.

[Jennifer Francis]

ok thanks bradley

[Jennifer Francis]

Well I don't know about finding a new big horse but i just found out my horse Lady Leap Alot was in the top fifty and she is ranked number 43 in rankings which is nice to know.

[Chani Ruzzo]

Yes records only, you never know maybe your current horse can run the race of their life, maybe they can't. You basically have to break any of the above posted records to win. My hope is that we can create a new generation of freaks on the track because the 100 speed figures are dropping off and are becoming harder to find. With Knighted, Okami, Star of Azamour, Black Star and all the first generation stallions are reaching their mid teens we need to look to the younger ones to keep it going

[Lee Key Shipyard]

He didn't break a record but Musical Notes just tied the record for 2 3/8 which just came after winning at 4miles in a blazing fast time and he's only 4. Yeah he's going to be a beast.

[Chani Ruzzo]

bumping this for next year

No winner this year, but maybe next year!

[Chani Ruzzo]
