The Orphans Residency GGGG Day
Mark this day in your calendars, it’s a day that’s up there with the Moon landing (did that really happen? I mean a man walked on the moon 57 years ago, yet my phone still drops calls on the main highway out of Brisbane….)
It’s that sort of shenanigans that led to this hair brained scheme being born into existence. Before some clown has a cry and says we are trying to harvest BPs, we aren’t exactly running 4 horse races…it’s going to be a hot mess of fun and frivolity. Kinda like the stuff that we all assume happens at Beerkeg’s place. No one will be watching this on their phone, so no one will be disadvantaged and we won’t be spinning the damn wheel. Hell, this might even be our replacement Equinics
On Saturday morning, (Friday night game time) 7 bat s*** crazy Orphans residents will gather in front of their screens and tune into SkyJohnno2 for the running of the Orphans Residency GGGG race day. Each resident has bred 10 GGGG Card horses, which were then thrown into a randomiser that puts the twitch wheel to shame, to mix them up and allocate them to different trainers to eliminate the possibility of foul play.
These horses have to come from a variety of locations and it was surprisingly difficult to obtain horses from the right jurisdictions so of the 10 races there will be 4 where the horse can come from anywhere (except Australia, Japan, California, or Great Britain / New Zealand) and we will race them across a series of randomly drawn surfaces and distances to claim the ultimate credit prize (which was kindly donated by Johnno) – thanks mate.
Residents also paid a 300 credit entry fee to boost the prize pool further and gain their commitment to this debacle.
We ran a series similar to this last year and it was a huge success, especially when Magoo’s horses were dominating everyone and Sjmeola noticed that the stables Magoo was running from weren’t registered to the residency. Mirth ensued as we watched each race see Magoo win or place and be disqualified…who says there isn’t a god.
This time around, we are only running hot races and residents will be required to be in attendance to get their horses in quickly as soon as the races are purchased.
The race schedule for the event will go as follows
1. Japan 12.5F on Turf
2. South Africa (Africa) 7.5F on Turf (ANY BREED*)
3. California (USA) 10F on Dirt
4. Berkshire (GB) 6.5F on Turf (GB / NZ)
5. Perth (AUS) 9.5F on Dirt
6. Mexico (South America) 9F on Turf (ANY BREED*)
7. Tasmania (AUS) 7F on Turf
8. Arizona (USA) 11F on Dirt (ANY BREED*)
9. Japan 14F on Dirt
10. New York (USA) 8.5F on Dirt (ANY BREED*)
Scoring will be based on a 10,8,6,4,3,2,1 and Credits will be awarded to 1st and 2nd place in each race with the overall winner after 10 races having the choice of 600 Credits or one of the two prize horses on offer. Top 3 finishers overall will score either the 600 credits or a prize horse.
Good luck to those brave 7 souls who have risked it all to be part of this.
