Saturday\u2019s Equinics celebrate many different aspects that make this game what it is.\u00a0 The Best Horse I Ever Owned is a two mile turf race open to four year olds and older horses.\u00a0 Celebrating each player\u2019s best horse is a universal truth, whether you have been playing for years and that horse is in the Hall of Fame or you have been playing for weeks and that first winner hooked you.\u00a0 Before we get to the field for this race, let\u2019s take a look at some of the horses who have been mentioned by players as the best they\u2019ve ever owned.<\/p>\n
Veteran player Flagdown gives the nod to Georgie the Mooch, a winner at the last summer Equinics event where he took the A to Zia Park dirt mile.\u00a0 Georgie earned over two million dollars in his career and was retired this year and bred to Tiznow.\u00a0 Metallinut cites Talkin\u2019 Baseball as his best.\u00a0 Talkin\u2019 Baseball was a grade one winning two year old who carried his form on as a three year old and older horse.\u00a0 He did his best running in sprints (although he did win a major Derby prep at three routing) and earned over two million dollars.\u00a0 Mightyforego is a young player in the game but his active filly Reins Supreme is one any simster would love to have in their stables.\u00a0 The filly has won four of five starts and looks like a star in the making.\u00a0 Atakachaw makes the grade for Platero.\u00a0 The El Corredor colt won seventeen starts and almost two million dollars and was a multiple graded winner.\u00a0 Five time grade one winner Green Bow tops the list for Mano.\u00a0 The colt won nineteen times in his career and earned over three million dollars. \u00a0You See La has the best record of any filly taking on the boys in the Triple Crown races \u2013 she was second in the Bluegrass Derby, third in the New Yorker and a winner of the Middle Jewel Stakes for owner Nextbonus.\u00a0 Ldyssecret picks Sea Jennah Sea for her best.\u00a0 This active runner has won eight of thirteen starts and over two million dollars.\u00a0 He was last seen on track running second in the Breeders\u2019 Bowl Mile last November.\u00a0 Mtk sends love to Mambo De Calle who won fifteen starts including three grade one races.<\/p>\n
Four players chose horses who have received the sim\u2019s biggest honor, a place in the Hall of Fame:\u00a0 coolk\u2019s Mr Devious, Given\u2019s Casterly Rock, Dixiedotco\u2019s Title Defense and Balata\u2019s Volotile Nijinsky.\u00a0 I would encourage all readers to visit the Hall of Fame\u2019s website and read more about these amazing runners.\u00a0 Mr Devious won seven grade ones including back to back runnings of the Breeders Bowl Turf Sprint and over five million dollars.\u00a0 Casterly Rock was also a back to back Breeders Bowl Sprint winner, although he ran on dirt.\u00a0 He won six grade ones and just under five million dollars.\u00a0 Title Defense is the only one of the group who is still active.\u00a0 He\u2019s banked over fifteen million dollars (yes you read that correctly, fifteen!).\u00a0 He has won eight grade ones and was a winner in the 2012 Summer Equinics running long on the turf.\u00a0 Six time grade one winner Volotile Nijinsky was also an Equinics winner \u2013 he took the turf mile in the 2002 Winter Games.<\/p>\n
Readers are encouraged to give a shout out to their \u201cBest Ever\u201d in the comments section.\u00a0 Tell us the name of the horse and a little about them.\u00a0 This writer is hoping her \u201cBest Ever\u201d is running on Saturday \u2013 wish me luck!<\/p>\n

Dark Mandu is the dark horse of this field.\u00a0 He\u2019s won both of his two starts, a maiden at a mile and five sixteenths and a non-winners of two other than allowance at two miles.\u00a0 The first race he won by fourteen lengths, the latter by seven and three quarters lengths.\u00a0 He did run a 95 speed in that two mile race, a handy 44 point jump up from his maiden score.\u00a0 Doing that again would put him in the sim elites but possibly expecting a horse to improve 88 points in three starts is a tad unrealistic.\u00a0 Unrealistic for some \u2013 but the SARA Residency has nicknamed this colt \u201cThe Freak\u201d and rightly so.\u00a0 At 179\/1 you\u2019ll get a great return on investment if he takes a medal and he doesn\u2019t need to jump up 44 points to be competitive here, although if he did manage to pull it off it would make this an Equinics for the ages.\u00a0 Dark Mandu is a scratchbred son of Mountain High x Scatmandu x Northern Guest.<\/p>\n

Hot and Wild was a multiple graded winning two year old who has found new life in two mile races.\u00a0 He\u2019s started in two of them, winning an allowance with ridiculous ease and, in his most recent start, winning the Minnesota Testbarn Cup, a listed at the distance.\u00a0 He hasn\u2019t shown as much speed in those two races as others in the field have at the distance but he won the listed by five lengths and the allowance by over twenty so it\u2019s tough to gauge how hard he had to run to win either of those starts.\u00a0 Hot and Wild is a scratchbred son of Unusual Heat x Machiavellian x Wild Again.<\/p>\n

Montys Robber enters off the first stakes victory of his career.\u00a0 He won a listed stakes at a mile and three quarters, beating fellow entrant Dalakhani Dancer handily with a 107 speed.\u00a0 The lightly raced colt has hit the board in all ten of his career starts, including four victories.\u00a0 He\u2019s started twice at two miles, taking an allowance race and running second in another.\u00a0 His listed stakes was his first start against older runners and he obviously handled that hurdle with aplomb.\u00a0 Montys Robber is a scratchbred son of Montjeu x Nijinsky II x Roberto.<\/p>\n

Henze is another colt making his first at two miles.\u00a0 He won the Grade Three Dutch St. Leger at a mile and three quarters last October to earn his first graded stakes score.\u00a0 He followed that up with a lackluster fourth over a yielding surface in the Grade One Japanese Saint Legend after which trainer Platero gave the colt some time off.\u00a0 He returned to the races on January 4th<\/sup> and made his dirt debut in the Grade Three Socks Handicap.\u00a0 He finished seventh in that start but a return to turf should help him rebound off that effort.\u00a0 Henze is a son of

looking prep in December where he took an allowance at a mile and three quarters wire to wire with a 105 speed.\u00a0 Dalakhani Mountain is a son of Dalakhani out of the million dollar winner Nag of Notley, a daughter of Gone West x Sadler\u2019s Wells.\u00a0 She has already produced two graded winners.\u00a0 Nag of Notley did her best running in middle distance races but lacked the stamina to
