So, if you drop the day they ran and were eligible for points, you will not get those points for your stable because the horse/jockey/trainer will register as "dropped" when the point tallying is done at the end of the day. You would definitely want to wait until the next day to drop a horse that got points for you.

As far as the add/drop period goes....I'm a little confused on this myself. But I know you can add/drop in that period and still get points. I did this Jan 1-5. I'm unclear on the rule regarding the number of horses a stable can run in any given month and whether or not the add drop period counts toward that total. The way I read the rules, each stable can run a total of 10 horses each month. 2 may be reserved. Now, does this mean you can only score with 10 horses? Or does it mean you can only have 10 horses active at any one time? I'm thinking the latter, but I haven't been able to confirm in the game. I guess I will know this weekend because I have runners going that will put me over the 10 horse limit for the month. If they place and receive points then that will mean that the rule simply means only 10 horses may be active at any given time.
Thanks for the input. The 10 horse limit is something I didn't think of.
I imagine that would make it impossible to load-up on feb. 3rd runners,
and then drop the horses that didn't score, replacing them with stakes runners later in the month.
