So they have these daily tournaments now. You can only qualify via free races.
This is the first day I tried to qualify.
Tried my 2nd newest horse, Sundea Suprema, who failed.
Tried my newest horse, Metallic Kat, who also failed.
Both of these were Szabos I bought over the past month.
So I went back to the tried-and-true winners::
Flying Stupidity easily qualified, winning all 5 races. A class obv.
Projekt SEP easily qualified, winning 4 of the 5 and finishing 3rd with the other. A class obv.
Ptarmigan barely qualified, taking 6 races to do it, but squeaking into the very bottom of the A class.
Top 3 horses in each round move on.
Quarterfinals:
Flying: 3rd - $26 win, moves on
SEP: 11th - Fail
Ptarmigan: 1st - $105 win, moves on
Semis:
Flying: 4th - fail... just one spot away from the finals
Ptarmigan: 3rd - $74 win, moves on to finals!
Finals:

Ptarmigan didn't get a flame on any of these. In the semis, I was sure he was dead, as he was against crushers, including a Z1 and three Z2s. Interestingly, none of the horses who flamed in the Ptarmigan semis moved on.
He really has no business being there, but maybe he'll pull off a miracle. The horse is high variance, so he has a shot.
