The Florida Sire Series races in August and September are CPU local stakes races for 2yo’s and 3yo’s in Florida. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since the Florida Racing Club<\/a> wants to support FL sire races, I thought I would do a review of the 2nd leg of this series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This also allows me to announce that there is a public prize for the 3yo RICHARD GRUNDER STAKES race coming up on Sept 27th!<\/strong> We also have a prize for the best finisher from a rez supporting stable for each of the FL Sire races (so if you have a stable with some up and coming FL sires be sure to direct support for that stable to the FRC to qualify for that prize). See the prize details below<\/strong> for the 3yo stakes race and a link to the FRC news thread for the event.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Lets review this weekend’s races:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cactus Rich Stakes<\/a><\/strong> had 9 runners this year (with 2 fillies running despite there being an equivalent filly race this weekend). The top 5 runners had a speed number of 81+ (including one of the fillies which made her debut in this race).<\/p>\n\n\n\n MAGIC AP<\/a>, SEA MY LARRY<\/a>, STG MAGIC GONG<\/a> jumped to the front MUTASA STRIKE<\/a> started making his move around 4f, GUNN WEST<\/a> ran in the pack and chased to finish 2nd. FISCALLY<\/a> making a big move a bit later but he ran out of track to miss out on 3rd place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n MUTASA STRIKE<\/strong> out of mare STRIKE THE BRUSH<\/strong><\/a> started in PP6 and finished 2nd in the FRC Florida Juvenile Debut<\/strong> race this past February breaking his maiden in March. Two strong 2nd place performances in the Oblivious Nation Stakes<\/strong> and the Florida Racing Club – Tocobaga Juvenile Stakes<\/strong> suggest this horse has a bright future in the sim! Congrats to FRC rez member mightyforego<\/strong>\/mightyforego50<\/strong> on the win!<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n GUNN WEST<\/strong> the last foal out of 20 year mare ROAD WEST<\/strong><\/a> (who has had a G2 winner and two previous Stakes winners) started in PP7 and ran 2nd to MUTASA STRIKE<\/a> in the FRC Florida Juvenile Debut<\/strong> and got his 2nd win in a July turf race. Congrats to FRC rez member craterus\/phoneshark<\/strong> (me!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n SEA MY LARRY<\/strong> out of mare INVINCIBLE BRISTOL<\/strong><\/a> started in PP2 and was on a three race win streak going into this race (winning wire to wire). After stalking the entire race, he was able to briefly gain the lead before succumbing. Congrats to lbailey<\/strong>\/whiskeysour<\/strong> on the fine horse and finish!<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Pray For Me Stakes<\/a><\/strong> had 9 runners this year. There was a close finish with the top 3 runners finishing with a speed number of 81.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PO KEY BODY<\/a>, SCATTY BROOKS<\/a> and STG COTTON CANDY<\/a> set the pace early on. The favorite SIMPNATION<\/a> stalked the early leaders and looked like she was going to win it, before ULTRA MARINE GLASS<\/a> powered past her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ULTRA MARINE GLASS<\/strong> out of first time dame TO WRENCH AND REND<\/strong><\/a> started in PP3 and settled in the pack before starting to make a move around the 4f mark. This is his second win in a row after breaking his maiden back in June. Congrats to FRC rez member stable bobthehat\/nabokov2<\/strong> on the win!<\/p>\n\n\n\n SIMPNATION<\/strong> out of PENELOPE GLAMOUR<\/strong><\/a> started in PP5. Coming off of her win of the Junior Rule Stakes<\/strong> in august she was the well deserved favorite of this race. Congrats to bezza14\/slairk<\/strong> on 2nd place!<\/p>\n\n\n\n SCATTY BROOKS<\/strong> out of OJAI SILLY GURL<\/strong><\/a> started in PP7 was on a two race win streak coming into the race. She has led both of her previous races wire to wire, but was only able to briefly get the lead in this race at C3. Congrats to former rez member liddleski<\/strong>\/stoneface<\/strong> on the great show!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Congrats to the winners of both races who happened to be Florida Racing Club residency members – great performance! We look forward to a great final weekend of racing on September 27th!<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n PUBLIC PRIZE ANNOUNCEMENT <\/strong>for Richard Grunder Stakes<\/a><\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n A prize from the FRC is being announced in the hopes of attracting the best FL sires in the sim to this race. This race is five weeks before the Breeders Cup races this fall, so it would be nice to see if this race can help push a FL sire up into one of the big races. See our news thread<\/a> for the Florida Sire series for updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1st place – 300cr<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2nd place – 200cr<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3rd place – 100cr<\/p>\n\n\n\n (there is also a bonus for the highest finishing FRC rez member in the race)<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Don’t have a great 3yo to enter? Be sure to assign a stable to support the Florida Racing Club<\/a>, and enter FL sired 2yo’s into our Break the Maiden <\/a>event for residency members! See link to our news thread for details. Maybe a few of the racers from the event will be able to compete in next years FL sire 3yo Stakes races?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Florida Sire Series races in August and September are CPU local stakes races for 2yo’s and 3yo’s in Florida.
