I'm signed up, but where the heck do we check up on these horses to pick from, any thoughts? Thanks.

There used to be an easy way to find the list of contest races. I couldn't figure it out. There also used to be insider pics - didn't see them listed either.

I just downloaded the PP's and picked horses that had run before and had trainers. Some of them like Dark Cloud Dancer seemed to have a decent enough bloodline for the race but nothing as far as preps. I've been burned on that type the last 2 contests.

I don't like the changes but it's not like I was killin in that contest. I had one good year - got a hat and pen & pencil set.

I'm in 16th place
 
The scoring has started.

They didn't list the contest races so who knows when to watch your horses.

Don't feel like loading up my stable mail

AeWingnut 04-18-2010 06:52 AM

46th place
 
ok, apparently there are no "contest" races. Every race your horse is in is a contest race. The points are $$$

I'm just looking at the top people and they have most of my horses along with the big earners I don't
the only thing that could happen is for the big money earners to stop earning and my not run a race yet horses to show up big.

I guess if Giacamo can win the Ky Derby I can hope for a different result

Good luck

:)

My Tip
 
Is what Roger Attfield is to Canadian racing is what Bart Bummings is to Australia. Other than that, I haven't even looked this year.

I signed up for this and then promptly forgot all about it until I saw this thread. I checked and my rank is 273rd. The horse that's won the most money for me is Resentless at $90,000.
