All Weather Route Ladies Only Claimer Cup Tournament

[Garret Folsom]

So, Dan Kauffman's silks tournament got me in the mood for more tournaments. I want to set one up for next year.

The idea is for a field of 64(hopefully), AW Route fillies, that galloped Claimer (or Different Career). They get placed into a 64 horse bracket (I'm toying with the idea of 16 entries, but making it Double Elimination). Horses are entered into some race already on the schedule (I don't want to create specific races) and whoever finishes better moves on to the next round. If we go with 64 entries, it will be limited for 4 per person. The fillies would be 3 year-olds.

At the end of the tournament, the winning horse will be rewarded with free breedings for life. The runner-up will with free lifetime breedings to any of my AW Route stallions. The 3rd and 4th place finishers will each earn 1 free breeding.

Garret Folsom - 4 (with 12 leftovers for others that would want to join)
Jack Meyer - 1
Madelene Gilbert - 4
Nena Olson - 3
Shan State - 4
Josh Bordeaux - 2
Ali Hedgestone - 4 (2 leftovers available)
Ronnie Dee - 1
Darcy Mcbride - 1
Kasie Gillespie - 1
Dom Behan - 4
Todd Lucas - 4
Sten Rino Haakonsen - 4
Eric Jonson - 4
Shiadra Cattari - 3

I love this idea. If only I kept my claimers and difficult careers though! Although, I suppose I'd have my two fillies from the Difficult Career challenge this year. They'll be 3 next year...

[Garret Folsom]

I still have plenty of mine if you want some!!!

[Jack Meyer]

I'm in...I have 6 AWR claimer 2YO's sitting in my ALT Barn as we speak....great idea!

[Nena Olson]

I'll participate

[Shan State]

Include me also please.

[Steve Leavitt]

Might as well get in this too if I can find a "decent" claimer!

[Ali Hedgestone]

I think this idea is awesome! I have 7 DC and Claimer 2yo fillies in my barn ready to go (I'll share!).

Also, I'll chuck in the following:
Breedings to Thermodynamic:
3 for the winner
2 for the runner up
1 for each place 3-5

Breedings to Bayou Bond:
2 free breedings to anyone who participates

Please let me know if you want to enter the max of 4, or less than that.

[Ali Hedgestone]

I'll enter 4 and can give 3 out if someone is in need. (Provided I don't have any upgrade)

Do you want these fillies unraced going into the series?

[Garret Folsom]

They can be raced or unraced. Either way works.

[Shan State]

I can enter 4 also, if slots are available.

[Steve Leavitt]

I found one DC that may have been raced at the wrong distance, given it's lineage. I'm gonna try it as a router, but Ali, I'll happily take one of yours! That means I'll race TWO!

[Jack Meyer]

I just checked.....5 of those 6 I mentioned are geldings so I didn't know it was fillies only....I needed to read it a little better....I still have the one claimer though

[Ronnie Dee]

I noticed that I have one filly AW router than is currently listed as Claimer. If her gallop stays Claimer, she told me that she wants me to race her in the tournament (I think her exact words were "sweet").
