Black Lotus On Winning His Championships On Digiturf
What does it feel like to win a Championship race? It feels very special, considered that there are only 18 championship races per season and how difficult you have to go through all the qualifying races and just to be one of the fourteen horses in the championship. To win it you need a lot of luck too, like getting the right distance and going and of course, a top random. I had many tries and getting close previously before finally winning one. How optimistic were you about winning and who was your biggest rival? To be honest, going into the championship I had higher hopes on other horses but they did not come through on the first day (sprint). I thought I had the weakest chances on the second day as my classic runners were not nearly as good as my sprint runners and my stayer runners. The track coniditon being Muddy helped as many of the biggest rivals perferred a Fast going, while my horse can race both Fast and Muddy. I also raced my horse at top fitness while some of the contenders might have raced at 96%-97% to save them for the stayer final the next day. This plus getting the top random in John Stewart won me the race. What routines do you follow before the? My horse was also in the stayer final the next day but I felt she had a better chance at the classic so I trained her up to top fitness for the race to gain an extra edge. At the early stage of the race I thought this would not be her day as she is usually better when she sets the pace in front herself but she was only pressing at the third spot. I was surprised she was able to make a move in the final 400m to get the lead and able to hold on. I shared the victory with my friends and families, and also the community in digiturf. How do you prepare for a Championship Series & what advice would you give other trainers? My advice is to pick the right qualifying races to enter, especially on the 4-7 yr olds where the field is extremely tough. If you don't have a monster type you really have to pick the right spot. Sometimes waiting for a 2nd instance in the qualifying races is not a bad idea. If the championship race is not your horse's favorite distance/going, then treat the qualifying races where your horse prefers as your champ race and make sure you enter those. That's my philosophy. How do you celebrate winning the Championship Series? Not much celebration for me as I just re-invest my winnings in future auctions to get some more good horses to upgrade my stable or to replace the retired ones.
