New Years 2016 - Auspikitan
Triathlon
This event was a not exclusively a horse race. It began with a
horse sector that went around the Darvincia Horse Track and
meandered through the farms north of Darvincia. The race then
transitioned to a foot race down to Nether Island, Auspikitan.
Competitors then had to craft a boat at the shoreline and
maneuver between wool "checkpoints" throughout northern
Auspikitan until they reached the finish line near the New Years
event area.
Participants
- AeV
- Blanoxium
- l_l
- Tuto99
- Ventus
No official results were compiled for this race, as it was
difficult for the race official (Kalassak) to monitor the
participants and there were at least two incidents worthy of
disqualification: Bong purportedly used a speed potion, and due
to a misunderstanding Bla did not complete the lap around the
Darvincia Horse Track before following the marked offroad
section.

Racing once again occurred in Darvincia - this time at the
purpose-built track in the desert. Bla was the race official.
The other seven users present participated in a three lap race.

Based on video evidence, it is likely that Tuto actually
finished ahead of Ventus, however lag resulted in the appearance
of Tuto's horse crossing the finish line behind Ventus. This is
corroborated by Fiah who announced Tuto as the winner of the
race shortly after the event ended.
Fiah also used a splash speed potion which also affected
Kalassak's horse, resulting in the invalidation of their
results.

New Years 2018 - Vrus
Bimoomigo Aahrut Raceway
Bimoomigo Aahrut Raceway is a horse track with a 12 turn
purpose-built section and a temporary "street course" that runs
through the city of Vrus and adjacent areas used for the New
Years festivities. For the 2018 New Years, the full 21 turn
combined purpose-built & street course layout was utilized. Due
to the high attendance of the Vrus New Years and the limited
availability of horses, the race was run with two qualifying
heats and a final heat. The qualifying heats were to be two laps
long, with five or six competitors each. The top three finishers
from both heats would qualify to a final heat, which would be 3
laps long. The horses were selected based on the similarity of
their speeds for fairness, making this the first racing event
for which this was done. The races were jointly officiated by
Kalassak and Bla, who both also participated in the races.

Ventus took the wrong path between turns 17 and 18, extending
the track. However, he was still extremely competitive,
finishing only a few seconds behind heat winner Yqt1001.

New Years 2019 - Alteus
Alteus Square
The track in Alteus was a hastily-built square track with jumps
on one straight and a slalom section on another. Like the New
Years 2018 race, this one consisted of two qualifying heats and
a final. Unfortunately, when I compiled these results I was
unable to find the qualifying results, so only the final results
are available here.

New Years 2020 - Leikigo
Okaloi Raceway
Okaloi Raceway is a purpose-built track, designed with
spectating in mind and taking into account the various
shortcomings of previous New Years tracks. This year, the horses
from the Vrus and Alteus New Years events were transported to
Leikigo to create what is known as the New Years Racing Herd, a
group of eight horses with similar speeds specifically for the
purpose of horse racing on Blacraft. They were named in a
contest
HTML https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1iC_HUsw2TLdkWjoZfFTzzA5FBySPgBOGjHUMhNerjY4/edit?usp=sharing<br
/>where members could contribute and then vote on permanent name
s
to be used for the race horses. Yqt1001 contributed the
necessary nametags and therefore was allowed to name a horse
whatever he wanted. The winners of the naming contest were
Dinnerbone, Crippling Anxiety, Yqt1001, No Strats Just Skill,
2020 Vision, and Horsey McHorseface. Yqt chose to name a horse
The Hero of Central Blacraft. Due to the addition of an eighth,
unplanned horse, another name—Grayson—was chosen by Yqt.
Dinnerbone, Yqt1001, No Stats Just Skill, Horsey McHorseface,
and Grayson had participated in past races (Vrus, Alteus, or
both). Crippling Anxiety, 2020 Vision, and The Hero of Central
Blacraft were new horses added to the Herd and had their debut
here in Leikigo.
Like the previous two races, this year's race was planned to be
run with two qualifying heats and a final heat. Since the Okaloi
Raceway is pretty short, the qualifying heats were to consist of
six competitors racing for three laps, with four competitors
qualifying to the final from each heat. The final heat was
planned to be five laps long. The races were primarily
officiated by Kalassak, however Tuto and Ganxi did the countdown
and released the starting gate.
The first heat ran without incident, however after the second
heat it was noted that one horse which had not run at any
previous New Years events, The Hero of Central Blacraft, was
much faster than the rest of the field, despite speed testing
prior to the event. It was decided that the horse would be
removed from competition in the final, reducing the field from
eight to seven. This meant that the 4th place qualifiers would
need to face off in a Head to Head to decide the seventh
finalist.

After the incredible performance by The Hero of Central
Blacraft, the new horse was disallowed from participating in the
final, resulting in the creation of a two lap Head to Head event
between susxy and Tugagon.

The Head to Head race was extremely close. With Tugagon in the
lead on the uphill straight before the final corner, No Strats
Just Skill reared, allowing susxy to pass. However the crowd got
another shock as Horsey McHorseface reared shortly thereafer,
returning Tugagon to the lead on the front straight, resulting
in his win and qualification to the final.

Despite the 5 lap long race, the field in the final all finished
very close. On the final lap, much like the drama in the Head to
Head, just before the final turn Crippling Anxiety reared while
Tuto was the leader of the race, resulting in him dropping to
fourth in a photo-finish across the line less than a head in
front of Yqt1001. Positions beyond the top 3 were not originally
able to be tallied at the time of the finish. Review of footage
recorded by Bla allowed for the completion of the results tally.
After the completion of the race, a ceremony was held to present
the winners of the heats and the top 3 finishers in the final
with trophy banners. The banners were a vertical rendition of
the Dotrugan flag, with a green and red border superimposed for
the heat winner trophies or a bronze, silver, or gold flower
superimposed on the flag for the podium finishers of the final.

New Years 2022 - Lumaea
The Lumaean Grand Prix was built on the mushroom biome in
southern Lumaea. It features a technical section with very tight
corners in the first sector of the track before opening up to
longer straights and more sweeping turns. With 11 registered
participants, the two heat system was used again this year. Each
heat was three laps long, with four (?) qualifiers from each
heat moving on to compete in a five lap final. The New Years
Racing Herd was composed of the same horses as the previous
year.

Darvince won his first horse race in Lumaea. This was Grayson's
second win, after being beaten out by Yqt1001 in Nova Chrysalia.
There is some uncertainty with the results from fourth to sixth
place. There are question marks next to my notes, and an arrow
pointing from "? 5 nar" to "6 Tuto", so I swapped those places
around in the official results. Since this post was written up a
year after the race, I can't be entirely certain what that was
supposed to indicate. Without any video evidence, the above
results are my best interpretation of the final result.
Fortunately, we can be confident in the accuracy of the first
three spots, who were awarded trophies for their
accomplishments.

New Years 2023 - Laplaya
Orange & Orange Speedway
Orange & Orange Speedway is a purpose-built race track on the
northern coast of Laplaya with a unique underwater section that
traverses the ocean floor before returning to land in a more
typical overland section winding quickly through a hilly
prairie. It was the first track for which a significant portion
was built by a user other than Kalassak. While she still
designed the track layout, AeV assisted with the construction of
the underwater portion, providing the materials and manpower to
complete the section which comprises roughly half of the length
of the track. The track was built quickly in the few days
running up to BCNY 2023, and as a result does not feature a
proper viewing area or many off-track details typical to tracks
in recent years.
The 2023 Laplayan Grand Prix used the standard format of two
qualifying heats and a final heat, with each heat race being
three laps long followed by a five lap long final. Each heat
consisted of five competitors, with the top three qualifying to
the final, as only 10 competitors participated in this year's
event. The same horses from the 2022 New Years Racing Herd were
used again this year.
The races were primarily officiated by Kalassak, however Tuto
helped with the countdown and release of the starting gate.
Additionally, Blotz provided an extremely helpful view at the
finish line to determine the winner of the final race.

The first heat ran without major incident, though yuunishinoya
suffered from Australian Internet Syndrome and retired from the
race. Kalassak finished 4th after Crippling Anxiety reared late
on lap 2, allowing Nova Crystallis to pass into 3rd place,
marking the first time that Kalassak did not qualify to a final
race.

After the first heat, some competitors bred a new gray horse
from the Racing Herd and named it Pisting Geladeira. The new
horse was disallowed from participating in any race, as it had
not been registered prior to the start of the Laplayan Grand
Prix. The horse, in actuality, was too slow to compete, but was
ridden by Darvince anyway, resulting in his disqualification.
Yuunishinoya also participated in the race after competing in
the first heat, but was not an officially tallied competitor for
the second heat.

For much of the race, the battle at the front of the pack
between Yqt1001 and TheMooCows was tight, within one or two
horse-lengths. It culminated in a photo-finish at the line that
was too close to call in real time. l_l provided a picture

of
the finish which allowed TheMooCows to be declared the winner by
inches. Fifth and sixth place were not able to be ascertained as
they finished in a close race as well, but no imagery or footage
was available to determine the proper ranking. Yuunishinoya was
allowed another attempt as a result of the heat 1 incident and a
good, unofficial performance in heat 2, and was able to finish
in fourth.
The typical post-race ceremony was not able to be held to
present the winners of the heats and the top 3 finishers with
trophy banners due to a delay in their production. Accolades
were notated on the results board of the "podium" area and
trophies were delivered several days after the race's
completion.
With Grayson winning three out of the last four races, some
concerns about disparities in horse speed were raised, with some
people suggesting that he be retired. This launched an
investigation into more accurately determining the horse speeds.
After tests were conducted, Grayson was found to not be the
fastest horse of the Herd. Regardless, efforts to create a more
equal field for future races are underway. The speed tolerance
expected to be valid for the next New Years Race is likely to be
within 0.10 m/s or less.
