“ANNOUNCING”<\/p>\n
The Public “Grand Opening” of the Testbarn Residency – a residency that will be embracing the local-bred concept, with a Left (West) Coast influence featuring the CA, OR and WA race tracks, where residency competitions will be held. With no prior residency management experience, all I can promise is \u201cA Good Ride\u201d and a 110% effort and involvement from me!<\/p>\n
What’s in a Name?<\/p>\n
The ‘Test Barn’ was, to me, the last place you saw before heading over to the Front Side \/ Saddling Paddock and the first place the top 3 finishers + 1 random selection go after the race (for a piss test.) It is also a place where a lot of the race track characters hang out, and\/or meet up, before going over to the front side to watch the races.<\/p>\n
The Testbarn Residency<\/p>\n
I want this to be a member driven residency where, no matter how big or small you are, you have a stake in the residency’s success or failure and a voice in its direction. As a whole I am also hoping to get a lot of input from both veteran simsters and newbies alike and, since we are starting from scratch and I have little or no residency management experience, I am going to let the members decide the direction we take.<\/p>\n
Expectations<\/p>\n
My own personal expectation for the residency is that it will become competitive with other major residencies within a year. As a member you can expect: firstly, an equal voice in residency decisions, regardless of your total stable size and, secondly, to receive whatever support and knowledge I have to offer!!<\/p>\n
+++Contests and Prizes+++<\/p>\n
The residency will run both racing and handicapping contests. There will be both ‘Single Events’ and ‘Series Events.’ Prizes will be in the form of Sim-horses, game credits, and\/or horse racing memorabilia – which I personally collect, sell on ebay, and will provide for residency contests.<\/p>\n
So – if you like to interact with other players, want to be a big fish in a small pond, like competitions & contests, or just want to be part of something “New & Different”\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026..<\/p>\n
