Not a great week with only one of three runners delivering some BP\u2019s this week for my Thechallenge stable.\u00a0\u00a0 Maybe with summer coming to an end I\u2019ll have a nice change with the fall season\u2026.maybe.<\/p>\n

Results<\/b><\/p>\n

KID ALLIANCE won last time out in a claimer, which is where I picked this runner up but I could not get him into a desired race so he went into a more aggressive allowance field where I did not expect much.\u00a0 At 8\/1 he met the expectations and finished last in the field.\u00a0 Hoping for better opportunities down the road.\u00a0 G-card was drawn from the deck<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A much better time and placement was had by HALF TANKED who ran in a $7,500 claiming race.\u00a0 He was the favored one at 3\/1 in the eleven horse field and ran very nicely coming in second and staying in Ohio there was no shipping penalty, so 20 BP\u2019s were nice to pocket.\u00a0\u00a0 Another common G-card came my way.<\/p>\n

CHALLENGED ONE, if anything, is appropriately named.\u00a0 This G-card bred has become a tough one to manage.\u00a0 He was pulled off the dirt in favor of the grass to see if there was any fit there and was entered into a $2,000 6-furlong race and at 20\/1 odds, he produced nothing.\u00a0 Although he did have his best speed, it wasn\u2019t good enough finishing 6th<\/sup>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 No BP\u2019s and only a G-card draw.\u00a0\u00a0 He\u2019s off to the auction.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Stable Changes<\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Starting the week with 1-E, 1-F and 24-G cards, I upgraded.\u00a0 I traded in 10-G cards for a pair of F-cards.\u00a0 Then I took the E, the 3-F cards and bred a horse using the E-card to fill the sire slot.\u00a0 I ended up with a female 3-year old named SOLID KASH CARD.\u00a0 This used my token \u201cKash\u201d name brand for horses and the \u201cSolid\u201d appears on the E-cards.\u00a0 The \u201ccard\u201d part is self-explanatory.\u00a0 She comes out of the sire Rothesay,\u00a0 who is primarily a grass breeder and surprisingly cheap at 21 credits as of the breeding but has nice breedinglines within.\u00a0\u00a0 Comedy Show came up as the DS and is more of a dirt runner and features Distorted Humor and Forty Niner in the bloodline.\u00a0 Duelled was drawn as the DSS and seems to favor the grass with also some decent blood in the pedigree.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Solid Kash Card has been added to the stable to replace the auctioned Challenged One<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Totals<\/b><\/p>\n SIRE CARDS:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Three G-cards picked up this week.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n TOTAL CARDS:<\/p>\n After exchanging a few cards, I now have 17 G-cards in the deck.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n BP\u2019s:<\/p>\n Not a great week with only 20 BP\u2019s picked up, making the 1,000 target look lightyears away.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Total for this challenge is now at 237.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Not a great week with only one of three runners delivering some BP\u2019s this week for my Thechallenge stable.\u00a0\u00a0 Maybe<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":363,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[20],"class_list":["post-32038","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general","tag-1000-bp-challenge"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32038","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/363"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=32038"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32038\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32040,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32038\/revisions\/32040"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=32038"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=32038"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=32038"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
