Severs Still Out

[/font][/color]

So as you've probably noticed either here or on my other blog, I haven't got any Universal Calendar updates out. The servers are down, and it's almost like someone is kinda lazy or busy or a combination of things. Like some power controlling whether or not the calendar gets out is busy. Weird. Sometimes it feels like there's a bunch of people watching this is some parallel universe, too. BUT THAT'S ENOUGH ODDNESS.

So, while severs are down, and I don't expect them up until the April Schedule comes out, I can tell you I will be covering the Stable Face Off March Week 5 here, and I will have something special coming to my TW blog shortly, so keep your eyes peeled, folks! It may be a little bit, but my horses are all on really good streaks so Ive had less laptop and tablet time.

And tumblr is distracting. REBLOG ALL THE THINGS

Over and out for now!

Typo Tyme!

[/font][/color]

So after a long time with the Gallop server dedicated to my news blog being out, I'm back in earnest (let's hope), with ALL THE NEWS. Firstly, I would like to point out that Prison Hill has struck again in a reclaiming sale, and bought a TB yearling who was originally called "Malaia". However, in the processing, this got changed to "Malaria". Miles Muse was so amused that he went ahead and just changed the name of the filly.

That makes two disease-related names, if you were wondering, as we own a mare by the name of Epidemic. You should keep watch for her first foal's prospect year in Y13! Nonsense Mutation is a colt that could go far.

Also, last I saw of the PHS owner, he was headed to Triple Krown Racing stables to see what was up sales-wise there....

Foals, Foals, everywhere!

[/font][/color]

A recent TG fad, it seems, is intro-ing new foal crops by stable. So I figured I'd collect links to those articles and put them up here for an easy reference. However, I'm not just going to copy and past. I'm going to rank them! Yes, you heard me. The #1 spot going to the best - in my opinion - stable foal crop to be prospect in Y13. If you're curious, Ripley Marsh did a nice Breeding Barn Survey that's worth a look into.

3. Silver Stride Stables Celebrate Y12 Crop
That's a huge crop, and there's no denying talent, but will the size alone be too much for trainers to handle, I wonder?
2. Y12 Foal Crop Best One Ever (SOPS)
A hugely talented group - but I'm almost left wondering if this is too much of a good thing? Call me odd, but I'm left thirsty for new blood after that article, which leads me to...
1. Bowen Acres Y13 Prospect racers
A new barn and some HoF blood, but a lot of new talent, and with new talent comes an amazing desire to succeed. I know great things will come from this, I'm sure.

And now it's time for PHS to brag! We will boast only 3 Y13 prospects, it seems, but they already show intense promise. Previously mentioned, we have Nonsense Mutation of of Epidemic and sired by Oddside. While they don't have amazing records, consider the fact his dam ran and won while blind in one eye. Oddside, too, is a driven horse and we may well be looking at a colt with a thirst for victory on the dirt.

Like A Runaway is the only filly of the trio, and while her mother, Runaway Oneleg did not have the best career, her father is G1 Like a Cheetah. She shows great turf promise and, being easy to handle, she will doubtlessly have a training edge by the time she hits the track.

However, the star of the bunch is the colt Karma's Wish. Out of G1 Warm Wishes and Comeuppance, this colt is dual-surfaced with an amazing distance ability - a remarkable 7-12f rang. He is a half-sibling to the likes of Meester Suprise, The Rising and and Beyond the Limits. Matrilineal relatives include Flash Limits, Prize Me Proud and many others, as well as being the last EVER foal of of Warm Wishes (she's 16, after all, and already has great-grandfoals!). The best in a dynasty is saved up for last, we're sure!

No more maidens

[/font][/color]


A final announcement is that I have the great happiness in saying that PHS currently has no more maidens running! Every PHS horse currently racing has broken their maiden as of May Week 3, with C'est Impossible. Just a week later, Executioner's Apprentice attained win 22, marking PHS' best year on the track so far!

New Staff for PHS?

[/font][/color]

As Prison Hill expands, so too must its staff, and I'm churning up the rumour mill here - I'm not 100% certain but it seems to me that Miles Muse is going about trying to hire people, as well as spending a lot of time talking about "embassies" and "political asylum", which...which quite frankly means I think another colorful, two-legged addition to PHS might be on the horizon. I'll keep you posted!

Moses over and out!

PS. If anyone's seen some two-dozen Monster energy drinks go missing from the GHF track jockies lounge, please drop my brother an email at: [e-mail] - he's looking for them, even if some have been drunk.

Tobias_Lancaster: Yeah man...those were mine. I basically live on the stuff. No harm done, though.
