Five young Fillies, still only four reasons to bet.<\/SPAN><\/B><\/o:p><\/P>

The 10th race feature in Minnesota<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> this week is for the youngsters and should be exciting. Really at this stage in their careers, any of these fillies can win this contest. This can be seen with the close odds. (That was written\u00a0for my last article and it seemed fitting here too).<\/o:p><\/P>

What happens when you combine Tabasco<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> Cat with Roman Ruler? Well Tabasco<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> Ruler of course. This chuckrock conglomerate 2 year old will make her first racing attempt here in Minnesota<\/st1:place><\/st1:State>. Don’t tell anyone, but the horse is actually in chuckrock’s Blazing Saddles contingent of stables and is not eligble for the prize horse. No matter, chuckrock would love nothing more than to beat out Kirby’s two horses to make sure those prize horses stay where they are. Chuckrock has a pathetic 8.6 wining percentage and zero wins in this actual stable. Can this be the first?<\/EM><\/o:p><\/P>

Bunny love can sometimes be disastrous, but bunnyluv has hope that he can bring home the 10th race feature prize. Of course bunnyluv is a Kin Kirby stable and is part of his Ojai Valley Stable empire. With the tracks best jock Bunny Has Hope tries for her 3rd win over this track. The daughter of Strong Hope has won 50k thus far and probably has much more coming to her. The bunnyluv stable has a 13.8 winning percentage, which is actually lower than the kirbster’s average.<\/EM><\/o:p><\/P>

\u00a0Right at home stables of the northwest racing circuit is waiting on his 300th career win today. While i’m sure he has other quality chances this weekend to win,would any such win be sweeter than winning he 10th Race Feature? Highly doubtful from my view (albeit an extremely biased view at that). Guilty Pleasures won her maiden last race. It was her first turf try after 5 semi-successful dirt attempts. She leaves California for the first time for the greener lawns of Minnesota. She has won 69k in prize money thus far.The Dixieland Band mare has a bright future if she can score here today.<\/EM><\/o:p><\/P>

The field’s longshot at 9\/1 is MakeSomeNoise from M\u00a0& J Stables. Mattclooch is a fairly new player who has compiled a 5.5 winning percentage. Matt, if you are reading this, please feel free to come join the Minnesota Residency. Had you had joined prior to this race, you would have had a shot at the prize horse! Makesomenoise has raced 5 times and has been in tehmoney in each try, all on the turf. The daughetr of Rushin to alter has earned\u00a027k in maiden races to this point. The experience here may be her saving grace. Despite never having run with stakes caliber horses, many of today’s horses haven’t proven that they are stakes quality horses. Bowen gets the point, and that ususally indicates good things.<\/EM><\/o:p><\/P>

King Kirby tries for the 10th race feature prize at Minnesota Downs\u00a0with today’s favorite. This will be A Cry For Kirby’s first race. The daughter of Street Cry has regal lines with teh back end of her pedigree showing Giant’s Causeway X Awesome Again. He job is to bring home a new prize horse for th eking. Kirby has a 15.7 winning percentage in his Ojai Valley Stables, and a 12% wp in the kirby77 stable. Sending an unraced 2 year old to a stakes race is a typical Kirbster move, and that\u00a0probably indicates some past success with the strategy.<\/o:p><\/P>

What’s Happening in Minnesota? (repeated from last article also)<\/SPAN><\/o:p><\/P>The next sire series is going to start on 11\/29\/08.\u00a0 This series is open to all residents, whether extremely active or not, and whether they join the residency after this post or not. I am going to post this contest on the main message board as an enticement to join the residency. I will cap it at the first 20 entries – should we get that many. <\/SPAN><\/SPAN>

Here are the rules for the series: <\/SPAN>

MINNESOTA SIRE SERIES <\/SPAN>

This is a contest where residents must breed a horse using a specified sire (Came Home) and that runner is restricted to running in a 12 race series over 36 weeks. The races are a mix of sprints, routes, dirt and grass races. While a horse does not have to compete in all 12 races of the series to remain eligible they are limited to running in the series and will be disqualified if they race in a race outside of the contest while it is still in progress. <\/SPAN>

The chosen sire is picked by the previous contest winner and then there is a 20 week period for residents to breed there horse (3 year old). <\/SPAN>

The purse structure for the series is as follows: <\/SPAN>
RACES 1 THRU 4—$50K PURSES <\/SPAN>
RACES 5 THRU 8—$75K PURSES <\/SPAN>
RACES 9 THRU 12—$100K PURSES <\/SPAN>

The top 3 money earners at the end of the 12 race series will earn the following credit prizes. <\/SPAN>

1ST PLACE<\/SPAN><\/st1:address><\/st1:Street>= 3000 CREDITS <\/SPAN>
2ND PLACE=1500 CREDITS <\/SPAN>
3RD PLACE=1000 CREDITS <\/SPAN>

Races will be held every 3 weeks and will be purchased by the residence.. <\/SPAN>

entrants may replace their entry at any point in the series but will lose credit for anything earned up to that point. <\/SPAN>

———————————————————————————- <\/SPAN>
Please enter you horse in this thread. Put the Name, Sex, ID, stable to enter. Make sure you breed a three year old. The horse will turn four early into the series; so that may be something to consider when picking blood lines. <\/SPAN>

Here is the proposed racing schedule. I’ll give it a few days to see if anyone has any problems with it before actually purchasing the races: <\/SPAN>
