The Best Virtual Horse Racing Game on the Internet!

A day earlier on Saturday May 5, 2012 the 23rd Edition of the GI $1,000,000.00 Equination.net Oaks for 3-year-old fillies was contested among an elite field of 17 3 year old vying for prestige and first place on a sloppy track going 1-1/4 miles. This race started out with a bang. A trio of front runners led by Dazzling Falls from Omasan Farm, Rowdysan (winner of the GIII prep race A Stitch In Time Stakes) from Desmond Lee2 stables, and Aiyana from Accent Farms exploded out of the gates and were at each others throat never letting up in what seemed to be a suicidal speed test. After about 6 furlong, Dazzling Falls still held a neck lead over Rowdysan with Aiyana starting to slowly fall off the pace. One Legged Zombie Race from owner TallPine Stables and Double Shot in the Art from McDonald Racing broke from the gate in mid-pack in 6th and seventh respectively started to slowly gain on the 2 remaining pacesetters.

As the horses reached the 8 furlong pole both, One Legged Zombie Race and Double Shot in the Art took dead aim on the dueling leaders and looked like they would blow by them. However, Dazzling Falls and Rowdysan found more and fought back for the last ¼ mile. The race culminated into a spine tingling, gut wrenching, 4 horse photo finish which took the stewards quite a while to decide. Finally they decided the winner who was: One Legged Zombie Race who got up in her final stride to beat the every so game pacesetter Dazzling Falls by a head, and who was a nose in front of Double Shot in the Art who finished in the show slot. The other pacesetter Rowdysan finishing 4th and put forth a game effort beaten a nose for 3rd and ¾ length away from the winner, One Legged Zombie Race.

Looking at the winner, One Legged Zombie Race, she is the son of TheVandals (who is retired with only has 2 offspring and is 100 % or 1 for 1 in graded races) out of the dam Iceni FujisWorld. She was bred by Zombie Zoo and sold to TallPine Stables in a February auction for a mere $60,000.00. This was quite a purchase by the proud new owner! This was her first graded victory in her first try and pushed her career earnings to $787,900.00 from 10 starts with 5 wins, 2 seconds and 2 third. Additionally her yearly earnings are $685,000.00. Her final time of 2:01:65 or 123.60 for the 1-¼ mile was very credible over the sloppy track! She will be leading contender in the second leg of the Triple Tiara, The GI $750,000.00 Sunshine Stakes on March 19, 2012.

As for second place, the ultra game Dazzling Falls, she is out sire Classic Devil and the dam Elegant Shadows and a homebred from Omasan Farm who pushed her career earnings to $593,050.00 with yearly stakes earnings of $326,000.00, from never been out of the money in 9 starts with 7 wins. She established a HRR with her final rating of 123.50 while getting her first graded placing on her first try! We can expect her as a major player in the second leg of the Triple Tiara, The GI $750,000.00 Sunshine Stakes on the 19th of May.

Third place finisher, Double Shot in the Art also gave a game effort. She is the daughter TipTronic MD, the dam Babybee Beluga and a homebred from McDonald racing. This was her first graded showing in her first attempt. She also established her HRR with 123.15, while pushing her overall bankroll to $493,000.00 including annual stakes earnings of $212,000.00. She should also be in the mix for the second leg of the Triple Tiara, The GI $750,000.00 Sunshine Stakes on the 19th of May and may appreciate the 1/16 less in distance.

The top four finishers (assuming everyone is healthy by post time) would seem set to put forth a winning effort in the upcoming second leg of the Triple Tiara, The GI $750,000.00 Sunshine Stakes on March 19, 2012. However, in Equination world no knows what to expect on race day! Will the run for the Triple Tiara be intact? Will some new contender rise? I can’t wait! Bring on the battle; it should be another race for the ages!
