2023-24 FL Sire and Single Sire contest - there will be a link pointing to this thread on the derbyfever forum.
derbyfever.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19368
ALERT!! The single sire portion of the contest is only for residency members and must use the single sire thread in the private section of the forum for entry.
Some changes to the rules compared to last year - instead of SCRATCH only... we will have both SCRATCH BRED AND MARE BRED in the same contest (with an add on prize to best performing SCRATCH BRED horses)
The FL sire contest is open to all - both residency stables and non-affiliated stables (with a concurrent contest for residency members that also qualify for this open contest).
This contest will be for SCRATCH BRED and MARE BRED unraced horses from FL sires.
RULES:
1. A FL sire to be used as sire in an unraced 2yo SCRATCH or MARE BRED horse.
2. Any breeding choice besides the sire is up to the breeder (an expensive DS or DDS might not make the small prize winnings worth it - but there is no rule against a 1000cr ds being used for breeding), but it must be an unraced 2yo at the beginning of the contest.
3. All contestants will debut their FL sire contest horse in a qualified debut race (qualified debut race to be clarified below) - zero races before debut.
4. All contestants will announce master stable and stable along with horse name and the derby fever horse id number on the FRC residency forum OR derbyfever forum (reply to this thread with the information). I will confirm in the thread when I enter you in the contest database.
5. Enter no more than one horse per master stable if you do NOT have a stable with the residency (one master stable per individual contestant)
6. This contest will include earnings from any track in the sim (including money earned in a debut in a FL track debut race). You can sponsor/buy races, but HOT races or PASSWORD/OWNER RESTRICTED races will NOT be included and will result in ELIMINATION from the contest (you can also buy a FL track debut race as described below)
7. If you enter your horse in a claim race and you lose it, you can still win the contest if career earnings qualify it for one of the prizes with no violations that would disqualify it as described in the rules and are able to regain ownership - ownership of the horse IS necessary to win. The contest prize winner will be determined on who was the master stable of the stable that entered the contestant horse into the debut race.
NOTE: the single sire portion of the contest is limited to residency forum members only. Single sire contest entrants are also able to win the above prizes as it will also be a FL sire. See single sire rules on the FRC forum for additional prize credits for residency participants in the single sire portion of the contest
Winner is determined by:
Prize based on most money accumulated during the contest length as shown on the career earnings on the horse card within the timeframe of the contest (and/or totaled from the list of races within the contest timeframe). Horse is not eligible to win if it has broken above rules. Horse must be owned by a stable of the master stable that entered into the debut race.
Prize credits:
one first prize for highest money earned by qualifying horse (male/female) - 1000cr

IF YOU BUY A DEBUT RACE, the race number needs to be posted in this entry thread along with your horse entry (for tracking purposes and openness)
I will be checking for entries weekly so that i can confirm that any self bought races show you as the sponsor (possibly snapshot of race entry page would help showing that you are the sponsor as a back up). If you are going to purchase a debut race, be sure that there is time for me to confirm that your horse is shown as the sponsor horse in the entry page or be prepared to show a screenshot to confirm that your entry is official.
A self bought FL debut race must take place at the florida track between OCT 1st and OCT 31st - no race after OCT 31st will qualify as a debut for the contest.

NOTE2 - if a residency contestant enters four horses using the single sire, only two of them can be designated for the single sire contest
Contest Sponsor: The contest prizes for this contest are funded by credits generated by the Florida Racing Club residency. As Admin, I will be participating because i enjoy the idea of the competition. If by some chance I qualify to win one of the awards: the credit prizes will be shifted downward, but I will be listed in the position earned. (example: if I finish 2nd, then the 3rd place winner will get the 2nd place credits and the 4th place winner will get 3rd place credits, etc).
