Looks bettah than your credits.


But credits aren't everything---thank God for you.

Is it too early to find PP's for the top contenders in the Derby pool? Anyone have a link?

Yes.

:rolleyes:

I think we need to have a league like in the years past......

Steve? You want to set that up for us?

Odds of winning the 2010 DT Road to the Roses Contest:

DrugS: 1/5

Field: 7/2

Yeah.. Will set it up today.

I assume that even though the Southwest was postponed to next weekend, it still won't be included in the R2R contest, since it wasn't on the original list of races that players use to accumulate points.

grounhog day! Morty's come out to play.

Hey there

Great, count me in!:)

Anyone get a clear answer was to whether or not the Southwest Stakes counts this weekend. It was not part of the original race schedule but with it being Saturday, it falls within the game period.

Thanks....

No change at the website so I doubt it, which stinks.

Steve......
 

Do we have a league set up yet, just curious? Thanks.

If nothing is set up by tonight, I will go ahead and start it.

Sounds good, I've just been waiting before adding another stable DT league would be great!:)

Yeah I'm ready to go too!

Southwest NOT a scored race
 

Just got this from RTTR:

No, the Southwest will not be a scoring race. It was not included on the published schedule when it was originally scheduled to be run last weekend, and at this point it would not be fair to add it since many people have already selected their stables.

Someone start the damn thing already so I can pad my contest resume with another easy victory.

But what if Mike W from Kentucky should enter, or is he just a poly specialist?

He's a poly quarter horse sprint specialist.

Whenever you have a field of over 1,500 people and only have 10 races to work with - it's like "they're off, and here's the wire"

A 2nd, 4th, and 54th place finish would have translated to like a 20 length victory if it was a single 30 race contest instead of 3 different ten race ones.

So basically what you are saying is that you have tactical speed too and are able to rate going long?

I see myself as someone who's best distance is 25 miles. Thus the longer and more tedious a grind the contest is .. the better for me.

With that said ... even I will be secretly rooting against myself since no money is involved. It's fun watching the cocky lose.

Question Steve, I notice some folks have multiple teams in the league is that ok? I thought last year it was a 1 team per league, just curious? Thanks.

Florida residents still are NOT eligible for prizes, this blows!:(

I added all 3 of my stables.. I assumed this was o.k...?

In with my stable, but a very basic one :zz: this weekend the contenders show up & hopefully the "basic" ones for my stable :o

So did I.....

Well, if we are only allowed one, then I want to keep the "One Day" as my main stable.

I take that back after today :D

National Champion Stable is in. :D

I couldn't disagree with this any more...

What kind of a mamby-pamby weenie watches Survivor and roots for Boston Rob to get voted off the island?

I hope you finish second to me. Watching the cocky back it all up is electrifying. Don't ever be ashamed about being The Rock.

It's going to be an uphill climb for me as I didn't use the Fountain of Youth winner and will have to pick him up next round.

17th out of 130 isn't the worst of starts .. but I'm probably toast after one race.

I wonder why they still haven't updated this??

I think I surged into the top 5 after yesterdays results.

figures I enter the wrong stable of mine in the one on here (I entered 3 of them). my best is overall top 100

I'm 4th right now.

I'm the only person in the entire top 23 that didn't use Eskenderya.


Had I used Eskenderya instead of Buddy's Saint I'd be way out in front .. and probably heavily favored to win the national overall.
