road to the breeders cup contest
 

roadtothe breeders cup contest starts june 9th similar to the road to the roses contest:)

What's the web site for this?:)

Launched.

Hopefully this will be a fun game.

Is there a league started for us yet?

i dont get it, i just made a stable, i read for 20 min, and i just dont get it. are the 12 i have locked in ? when do you change and stuff ? im confused .

Pretty simple really.. Pick 10 horses, activate the 5 that are fixing to run and hope for the best. The rules say 6 horses can be activated, but I believe it is only 5 at a time.

STABLE ACTIVITY

Initially, six (6) horses can be designated as "active" horses within the game. After the first supplemental draft, the number of active horses will move up to eight (8), and then twelve (12) horses will be allowed after the second supplemental draft throughout the end of the game and the Breeders' Cup races. Only horses that are given "active" status will be eligible to score points. Players can change the activity, or running, status of the horses in their stable as many times as they wish, except on scoring race days. The feature will lock out at 12:00 p.m., noon ET on the day of each scoring race, and will unlock to allow changes in activity status at 12:00 a.m. ET

You get 12 the first go round, six can be active.

You can add four in the first supplemental draft, with eight being active at that point.

Here is the league # and code for those on here that are interested.

The other one was for the Pay to Play one I guess.

worked for me. I'm in. Good luck to all DT'ers playing!

i'm in good luck everyone !

i am a strong second, but now what do i do ? just keep my horse, or did they change or what ?

What??

my horses, my stable is it set now ? i thought i could change every week, im lost

I chose Tiago and Heatseeker. Then I realized the Hollywood Gold Cup isn't on the Road to the Breeder's Cup schedule!!! How is that possible!!

umm same here
also perfect drift and lava man
****ing joke of a game

I notice the commish has heatseeker in his stable, maybe he thought the HGC was on the list, as well.

:mad: I spent about 20 minutes or so in the beginning and after I did all my picks, it did'nt save it... Then I logged back on the next day and it said to " make picks" with a different catagory...well I am thinking to myself "cool, we get to make a stable in each catagory:o "..not... Only after I submitted my final picks AGAIN did I realize what had happend...:mad: I had some really great horses in the first picks too dang it!

Oh well, I will just add another "pay to play" stable and hope it works out there.

Good luck to anyone else that had confusion as well or even if you knew what you were doing..lol

You should be able to change you horses once the weekend is over to another group.

I think they must be having some issues with the website. I notice the vanity handicap is now off the list.

On the original list, the HGC and Vanity were not on there. People who picked early, of course, would not have these in their consideration. Then, later in the week, the game ADDED these races, when it was too late for the earlier people to make a change. I picked on Friday, and therefore, since those races had been added, I chose my horses, with those races in consideration, i.e., Zenyatta, Heatseeker, etc. THEN, on SATURDAY, those races were once again removed, because, they said, it was not fair for those who picked earlier (which is true, it wasnt).
But what about us late pickers? Screwed.
Either way, its not fair, and either way, someone gets screwed.
If those races were not going to be included, I would have waited until the first draft to add those horses, but instead, I have at least 3 horses that will be running, but not running in scoring races. 3 slots that could have been occupied by horses that WILL be running before the first draft.

They really messed it up, big time.

arlington million

Are you saying the commish has heatseeker stabled for a race that comes after the first draft? doesn't seem right

i dont even know what im saying dont listen to me..... i still dont get this game, i am reading now, draft ?

yeah, there are two draft periods for the contest. you can add four horses for each or eight during the second draft period

ok but do you change horses, or is your original stable permanent ?

you would just be adding more horses to your stable, but can only have six active on race day

Permanent. But you will get to add more later. They will send you an e-mail notifying you. Just make sure you activate different horses in your stable if you know they are fixing to run. Some forget to do that and it ends up costing sometimes big points.

Number of actives goes up with each add period.

You'll get 8 actives after the first draft, and then 12 on BC day.

Sounds good, this might be great for this format. But too bad they may have this contest screwed up beyond repair already.

Last weekend they carded 2 races with out any points being scored. This weekend the miss a huge race on the host track. Does anyone know if there are any nominees in the Suburban?

Not sure who is going in the Suburban, but have a feeling Circular Quay will be running. He's been working out at Belmont for the past two weeks, and previously was based at Churchill for the 2 months prior.

Thanks Lemoncrush, That will be another week of no points for me. I have three in the HGC.

If only I had gone with AP Arrow instead of Heatseeker lol

Hate to break it to you, but the HGC is not a scoring race. Read my post above.
