FL Sire Contest – 2022/2023 FEB UPDATE
FL Sire Contest – 2022/2023 UPDATE for February presented by Florida Racing Club
We have two months to go in the contest (ending March 31st)! This contest was open to all people in the game. The FL Sire contest is ranked by money earned at any racetrack in the sim. There are only a few restrictions for race selection (so far no one appears to have violated those rules) – please visit the forum links below to review the rules if you have any questions.
Here are the current top 10 horses in the SCRATCH Bred FL SIRE contest. Sipe’s SKOB has leapt to the lead with an SA win on Jan 27th with a 91 SP#!

For our residency only single sire contest within a contest, our current leader is Tgerk’s CANAVERAL BIGHT.

If you are having fun in the current contest (or looking forward to similar contests in the future), please consider joining the residency for our upcoming 2023 Single Sire contest that is starting March 1st.
Some changes to our contest format going forward is that we will have a flexible debut race and will include both SCRATCH and MARE bred horses as part of the contests.
As a smaller residency, we plan to run a couple of contests each year funded by the credits generated by the residency. We are transparent with the incoming credits and have discussions/polls to select future contests.
If interested in the upcoming contest – one of our residency members has offered a qualifying prize horse for the new single sire contest in a raffle to new members that sign up with our residency (and sign up for the residency forum) at the following address:
