Any judges?

[sam]

I was going to judge this
But I got an entry, if you guys want me to enter him?

Studly Dudley

If no one comes forth to judge in a few days, I'll scratch and judge

[Snowflake]

Ill judge if no one else offers. I've already judged the first leg though so someone else would be prefered.

[S u N f r O s t ~]

New members, don't be afraid to offer to judge!
Well, if nobody offers by tomorrow, you might as well take it Sarah

[sonya]

i could judge...? (:?

[S u N f r O s t ~]

Go on ahead

[sonya]

Quite guessing that grade 3 + means grade three, two, and one. (; I'm pretty sure it does, but hey. I'm a blonde. c: Oooh. That's a scary thought. A blonde judging your race. Haha.

Kay. I'll judge now.

If I made any mistakes, any at all, just say so. I've checked and checked, but y'know, someone else going over your work spots things you never would have spotted before.

Scratches

Alluring Assualt - I love this horse, really. Wonderful personality. (: But, unfortunately, to be Grade Three and above your horse must have at least seven wins. Your horse has four wins, making it a Grade Four horse. Good luck, though!

Amazing Grace - Another great horse, but still you lack the necessary seven wins only have five. c; Had you had two more wins and she would have been a formidable opponent.

Results

1^st - Studly Dudley
2^nd - Wildly Natural

I had Wildly Natural up for the win for a bit, but then relooked at the personalities. As Tura isn't a dominant horse and doesn't fight, she wouldn't have much heart for winning when they got into a speed duel on the backstretch. Studly Dudley races to win, and Tura just races for happiness of running; therefore, what would be the point of trying to win a speed duel?

Dudley set a pace that must have been a little too fast for Tura's liking, because she was about six lengths off of him when they started to head into the final turn. She made up those lengths in the stretch, but she didn't have enough time or gas left to finish him off in the final quarter furlong.

[how'd i do? :D?]

[S u N f r O s t ~]

We waived the grade three plus rule in order to get entries So you have to include the other two in. Otherwise, I like your racing logic xD Disappointed my girl didn't come through and win all three legs but it only makes sense.
