What is Lucky Maiden?
The Lucky Maiden is an event specifically designed to test unraced racehorses in a weeklong, 7x race per day tournament format. The tournament is hosted by Zombieboy and Lucky Jack, one of the earliest and most influential stable owners in the game. LuckyJack strives to make the tournament THE most exciting event every month by providing myriad ways for racers to earn huge payouts.
There are multiple categories that each horse can race in based on its characteristics in addition to competing against the overall field. By entering a horse that meets the requirements of multiple categories, it is possible to have one horse make 5+ grand finals and win multiple Ethereum. I will go into strategies for finding a horse like that below.
How to Enter
To enter, you will need to purchase a Lucky Maiden 3 Token on OpenSea that matches the Breed Type of your horse. Once you have your token, you can register your horse on Zombie Racing Tournaments website and you are good to go!
Strategies to Crush Lucky Maiden
The #1 strategy to give yourself the best shot at winning in Lucky Maiden is to buy or breed a horse that can be entered in multiple categories. The special categories are below and remember, these are in addition to the overall competition!
Special Categories
● Best Nakamoto/Szabo/Finney/Buterin
● Best Genesis
● Best Cross & Pacer
● Best Super Rare / Rare Coat
● Best Super Coat
● Best Z10+
● Best Z20+
● Best Red, White & Blue
In the first Lucky Maiden, horses that won the overall took home ~2.0 ETH in winnings, but winners in each of the above categories also took home about 0.15–0.25 ETH per category, with some horses winning across multiple categories and some stables taking home over 1 ETH!
So, what you want to breed or buy is a horse like this Finney UUU:
This horse would get you into the following finals if you placed top 12 in the category:
- Best Overall
- Best Finney
- Best Z10+
- Best Super Rare Coat
- Best Super Coat
- Best America (Moon color category)
That’s six, SIX!, potential finals with one horse with a shot at winning 2.0+ ETH in the overall and 0.15–0.25 ETH per special category!
n particular, Super Rare/Rare coat colors and Super Coats are vastly underrepresented and offer the highest probability of making a final. In the last Lucky Maiden, there were ~600 horses registered, but only 50 Super Rare/Rare coats, and 25 Super Coats! You would just need to be in the top 25% of Rare+ coat colors and only the top 50% of Super Coats to make a final, as opposed to the top 2% to make the overall final.
To simplify your search process, here are some top tier breeds from LuckyJack himself available for you to snag and get in Lucky Maiden 3. Each horse has the ability to qualify in the Maiden Category listed.
