DanShan is back and the world of Zed Run lending has arrived whether we’re ready or not. For current Zed Run stable owners the way to lend horses is simple. You stake 250 Zed tokens on the lending market to receive a permit. Then with the permit you can add horse to the market. If someone chooses to borrow it a four day contract will be initiated then you’ll split the winning while they have it. Pretty simple stuff but we go into p...

On Episode 2 we discussed how to buy a horse, but things change quickly in the Zed Run landscape so we wanted to make sure to clarify a few things. As more tools become available and easier to use there's never been a better time to make informed decisions when buying a Zed Run horse.

Speed Kills

As Blake said, “fast horses breed fast horses.” At the end of the day the more speed you have in the stable the more things you can do with...

So as we’ve learned more about Zed Run breeding 2.0, it seems like not only is base ability and distance preference passed down, but variance most definitely is too. I’ve seen this firsthand with a new breed I just did Melrose Avenue. Definitely was able to get her mother’s high variance to go with her father’s distance preference. That goes a long way towards helping improve the line a little. Now going forward it doesn’t appear b...

After a week of studying (and some wild highs and lows) I was able to go over the Zed Token white paper and figure a few things out. Good thing BG was available to come on and help clarify things about the air drop and the future of the token going forward. The distribution still hasn’t quite been completely figured out but as BG says in the episode he’s figured out about 70% of it. The tier system still leaves a lot of questions t...

Well the big day finally came! Zed Token is here and so far it’s been a wild ride. On Thursday morning stable owners awoke to their wallets having a nice surprise in the form of Zed Tokens. Based upon a June 1st 2022 snapshot Zed stable owners were rewarded based on horse ownership, number of paid/free races completed, number of horses bred with your mares, number of studs entered into barn, skin ownership and more. So depending on...

Everyone in Zed knows how fatigue can negatively impact our horses. If you run them too much they won’t perform until the stamina meter goes back up. Well, we as humans are the same and it’s important to keep that perspective. Avoiding burnout and exhaustion is important to having a fun experience with whatever you do whether it’s Zed Run, fantasy football, or golf. Okay, those are the only things I do. But doing these things in ba...

Back in the saddle again this week with our guy DanShan and it’s a beauty. Since he was last on, we’ve come a long way with our analytics and we got another lesson in peak performance this time as well. DanShan has scrapped his old StackedNaks and replaced it with ZLead. I’m a huge fan of the new site and love what he’s done with it.


ZLead has all the analytical data and charts we loved on StackedNaks but also provides a lot of stuf...

We’re back again and even though we haven’t reached ten episodes we already have our first success story. That’s right our baseball editor here at SGPN Blake Meyer got into Zed when we started doing the show and has since built up an impressive stable with solid success. He’s an absolute maniac pounding dozens of races a day and showing some damn good results lately. Check out his progress in the SGPN Slack Channel with daily repor...

Look no one likes losing. For those of us with a competitive streak, the idea of it is revolting. But in Zed Run, the ability to take some losses to stay in your winning range is a must. Not everyone has the firepower to hang in the higher classes. The worst thing that can happen is getting a horse stuck in C1 that you can’t get back down to a competitive level. You have a good horse that can’t win. I have one of those and it’s ver...

For this week's episode, we had the pleasure of catching up with Tomi from Zed Bets who has a wild story about his involvement with Zed that culminated with the first Digital Derby in Las Vegas. His stream with partner Sean on Twitch was the first one in the Zed Run space to offer parimutuel odds and gives a real glimpse into the future potential of the game. I met him at the first live Zed event I attended here in Las Vegas for th...

For episode 6 we were finally able to crack a puzzle we've been working on for a while. MJ of MJ Informatics comes on and takes us on a deep dive into his advanced analytics site. It opened up our eyes to a much bigger picture in terms of horse evaluation. His tools give you several data points and charts to get a clear idea of what you're working with when you're out on the track. His background in gaming, analytics, and more make...

He is definitely one of the hardest working stable owners in the game today and his knowledge is unparalleled when it comes to building a stable. A professional sports bettor and oddsmaker by day he brings a unique angle to a space dominated by computer scientist types. His website stackednaks.com gives yo...

In the world of Zed Run breeding makes up a huge portion of the game. With the game constantly evolving and the new conditional tournaments, being able to cheaply breed a horse on your own to compete in these events will only become more valuable. Now it isn’t cheap and I’m not about to pretend to have this part of the game dialed in yet but it is fun to smash horses together and see what you get! Hopefully, we can run through the ...

    In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
