Singapore Racing on winning the Stayers Challenge Final Juvenile C What did it feel like for you to win your Challenge Series?  Well it's my first full season. So...Surprise!!!! Then jubilation. Then just pure happiness. It's the reason I have invested in the game, to try and win a big final against the big boys. So it's validation of the money spent and effort put in. How optimistic were you about winning?  Not optimistic at all. That said, I knew I had a real chance in the Monthly 2200m with She So Clazzy. But Sir Spezial was a complete shock winning the Sprint Final. His journey to the finals wasn't exactly paved with brilliance, so it was a big bonus for me. As I am quite green to the game, I just assumed every stable was a big rival. After all, you never really know who's got an ace up their sleeve. I thought 'Unstoppable Force' would be a big threat. But NAS got the usual bad random, along with Derek. So I think I got lucky. Of course Regale Le Monde was an obvious threat and anything from Shotgun or Sky. What routines do you follow before the race?  Well, I don't have any specific routines, just the usual due diligence to ensure they all have shoes and stabling fees paid. I am +8 hours GMT so I usual watch the races early in the morning before work. So my reactions are somewhat delayed. I share my victories with the RC community and few of my virtual mates on here. But my brother is the only other person I speak to about the game, as he once had a stable back in 2002, so he 'gets' what all the excitement is about. My wife just thinks it’s a game for big boys acting like small boys, and doesn't really show much interest. How do you prepare for a Challenge Series?  Train. Train. And Train again. You can only really know what your chances are, if you absolutely know what your horse is capable of. Then you just gotta suck it and see. What would you do differently in future Challenge Series?  I think I will try to be more selective with qualifiers this season, as I blew quite a few bucks on the wrong races. I think quality rather than quantity and throw the money saved into the SR or Auctions. How do you celebrate winning the Challenge Series?  Well, I haven't exactly celebrated with anything specific, I have treated myself to a new iPad, but I was going to get it anyway, and the winnings were a nice bonus. I am probably going to re-invest and build my stable to about 50 horses this season. I am looking forward to NOT depositing any money this season and trying to get by on what's in the bank. Final Comments:  This is a great game, populated with a passionate and friendly community. What's more, I find it's a nice distraction from the stresses of work. I am really looking forward to contributing positive things to the game and meeting some more great people. Good Luck this season everyone!
